Full Description
Prestigious historic rural farmhouse dating back to the nineteenth century, finely renovated with particular attention to preserving its original identity and with full respect for the materials and architectural features of the period. The restoration project has skilfully enhanced the traditional elements of the structure, including natural stone, wood and terracotta tiles, preserving its authentic charm and historic character.
Within the property there is an original nineteenth-century wood-fired oven, perfectly restored and fully operational, representing a valuable element of the farmhouse's rural heritage and history.
The estate is accessed via an elegant private driveway lined with centuries-old olive trees, leading visitors towards the property and giving it an exclusive and evocative character. The entrance is equipped with an automatic gate and camera, while the entire farmhouse area and the car parking area are protected by a video surveillance system, ensuring security and peace of mind.
The estate includes a remarkable centuries-old olive grove featuring several prestigious cultivars: Frantoio, Moraiolo, Leccino and San Felice. The rustic and resilient Frantoio variety helps give the oil a full-bodied and fruity character; Moraiolo enriches the aromatic profile with intense notes and a slightly spicy finish; Leccino provides greater softness and balance, while San Felice completes the blend with its delicate characteristics. The combination of these varieties produces high-quality extra virgin olive oil, expressing the agricultural tradition and distinctive qualities of the Umbrian territory.
Next to the olive grove, the property is distinguished by an extensive woodland heritage made up of centuries-old oak trees and crossed by a picturesque natural stream. The woodland area also contains managed truffle grounds, with active production of Scorzone Truffle and Black Summer Truffle. This is a particularly valuable feature, further enhancing the estate from a natural, agricultural and productive perspective, while also offering appealing opportunities for recreational and experiential activities.
