Full Description


Set in a commanding hillside position in the Umbrian countryside near Gualdo Cattaneo, this characterful rural estate for sale enjoys far-reaching views across the Valle Umbra towards the medieval towns of Assisi, Bevagna and Montefalco, surrounded by its own olive groves and woodland.

The property is an authentic example of Umbrian rural architecture that has evolved over time. At its core lies an original tower house, to which successive additions were made over the centuries, including former agricultural outbuildings such as the stables and pigsty. The main building shows signs of various forms of deterioration and, according to the technical report, has serious structural problems, whilst some of the ancillary buildings are partially collapsed and require intervention.
Rich in character and history, the estate offers a rare opportunity to restore and reinterpret a traditional country property in one of Umbria's most sought-after settings.

The farmhouse is arranged over three levels. Historically, the ground floor accommodated the stables and storage rooms, while the first floor housed the kitchen and bedrooms. The upper level of the tower was traditionally used as a granary. The building retains its original rural layout and many of the features that reflect its agricultural origins, providing an exceptional canvas for a sensitive restoration project.

The annexes further enhance the authenticity of the estate and bear witness to its farming heritage. Together with the main house, they form a traditional rural complex with considerable potential for redevelopment and adaptation to a variety of future uses, subject to the necessary permissions and works.

Outside, the property occupies an elevated position on a hill that descends in terraces towards the valley below. The surrounding land extends through olive groves and woodland, enhancing both privacy and the connection with the landscape. The open views over some of Umbria's most celebrated hill towns provide an exceptional backdrop and underline the property's unique combination of historical character, natural beauty and untapped potential.

Adding further appeal, the estate is accompanied by a thoughtfully conceived restoration proposal designed to preserve the authenticity of the original buildings while unlocking their full potential. Future owners may, if desired, rely on an experienced team of specialists to guide the entire renovation journey, from planning and technical coordination through to implementation and completion, ensuring a seamless transition from vision to reality.
