Full Description
Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Umbria lies this lovingly restored natural stone house dating from the early 19th century. The peaceful, secluded location offers plenty of privacy and space for a life in harmony with nature – whilst still being well connected: Shops for everyday needs and the motorway towards Perugia, Cesena and Ancona are less than a five-minute drive away. The motorway is neither visible nor audible from the house. The lively university city of Perugia, with its rich cultural offerings, and the renowned Antognolla Golf Resort are also only around 17 km away.
The property comprises the historic country house, a former stable building with development potential, and over 8 ha of land featuring a garden, meadows, arable land and woodland. With the exception of a small wooded area, the entire site is fenced and divided into various sections. This established layout offers a wide range of possibilities for keeping animals, growing your own food or combining residential living with agricultural activities.
The property was previously run as an agriturismo. The relevant licence is currently suspended but, according to the owners, can be reactivated. This offers an interesting prospect for buyers who wish to welcome guests and combine country living with tourism.
During the restoration, the original character of the house, with its traditional architectural features, was carefully preserved and complemented by contemporary living comforts.
On the ground floor, an entrance hall leads into the spacious living room with an archway and a fireplace. The eat-in has two direct exits to the outdoor area: one to the rear garden with a terrace and pergola, and the other to the forecourt and the front terrace with a pergola covered in greenery, an outdoor kitchen and a barbecue – ideal for entertaining guests. This level is complemented by a spacious bedroom, a bathroom with a shower, an additional guest toilet and a practical storage room beneath the distinctive external staircase.
The upper floor is accessed via the external staircase with a covered loggia. Here you will find a living or breakfast area with an open-plan kitchen, three comfortable double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, a hallway and a further storage room. The layout is well-suited both for a larger family and for accommodating guests.
A special feature is the oval cellar in the basement, which is thought to have once served as a kiln for bricks. Today, it provides space for storing wine, olive oil and provisions.
The separate former stable building opens up additional design possibilities. Subject to the necessary planning permission, it could, for example, be converted into a guest house or a further residential unit.
The outdoor areas also reflect the estate’s diverse uses. A spacious, separately fenced-off area has been set up for keeping horses and donkeys. In addition, there is a blackberry patch that is still being cultivated, as well as an area that was formerly used for saffron cultivation. An orchard and a vegetable garden complement the opportunities for self-sufficiency. A kennel complex and a spacious, fenced-off exercise area are also available from the property’s former dog-breeding activities.
A private drinking water well round off the facilities and provide an important basis for an independent water supply. Together with the existing farmland and the potential for animal husbandry, the property thus offers excellent conditions for a lifestyle characterised by a high degree of self-sufficiency.
Whether as a private country retreat, a home with animals and your own produce, or for resuming agricultural activities with guest accommodation: this property combines historic charm, a versatile plot of land and the tranquillity of the Umbrian countryside with easy access to shopping, restaurants and the cultural life of Perugia.
