Full Description
Set in a commanding position above the green hills of the Niccone Valley, this remarkable Umbrian estate offers sweeping views across the countryside to the historic village of Montone.
The property is immersed in a peaceful landscape of mature olive trees, centuries-old oaks and tall cypresses, providing a high degree of privacy without sacrificing comfort or accessibility. Traditional rural architecture, carefully selected contemporary finishes and modern energy systems come together to create an elegant residence suitable for year-round living.
The main house has been restored with great attention to its original Umbrian character while offering the standards expected of a refined modern home.
On the main floor, the accommodation includes a welcoming entrance hall, a formal reception room, a separate television lounge, a private study, one bedroom, utility and storage areas, a laundry room and a dedicated technical space.
At the heart of the house is a custom-designed kitchen, fully refurbished in December 2023 and fitted with high-quality Gaggenau induction appliances and Grohe fixtures.
The upper level contains four well-proportioned bedrooms and three stylish bathrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a large private dressing room. A covered veranda and panoramic terrace provide outstanding spaces for dining, relaxing and enjoying the open views towards Montone and the surrounding valleys.
Located on the lower level, an independent apartment comprises a living area, two bedrooms and one bathroom. This versatile space is well suited to visiting family, household staff or guests seeking greater privacy.
A separate guest house has also been comprehensively renovated and is equipped with a recently installed LPG storage system.
The ground floor offers an entrance area, comfortable sitting room and kitchen. Two double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, are arranged on the first floor. The uppermost level contains a further en-suite bedroom with air conditioning and access to a private terrace overlooking the Umbrian landscape.
Air conditioning is available in the principal living spaces of both buildings.
The estate has been equipped with a range of heating and renewable-energy solutions designed to support comfortable occupation throughout the year.
Heating is provided through LPG, a high-performance Carinci wood-burning stove and a modern pellet system incorporating a Daikin unit and boiler.
Solar thermal panels contribute to domestic hot-water production, while a 20 kW photovoltaic installation significantly improves the property’s overall energy efficiency.
The landscaped grounds have been thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the estate’s elevated position and far-reaching views.
A panoramic swimming pool forms the centrepiece of the outdoor area. Nearby, a fully fitted summer kitchen, Jacuzzi and shaded gazebo create an inviting environment for al fresco dining, entertaining and relaxation.
The grounds are beautifully maintained and feature established olive groves, mature oak trees and characteristic cypress planting. A substantial garage and a separate building for machinery and equipment provide practical storage and service areas.
Combining privacy, authentic architecture and sophisticated modern amenities, this exceptional estate captures the spirit of luxury living in the Umbrian countryside.
