Restored 16th Century Former Village Near Perugia, Umbria
This ancient village dates back to the 16th century and the property comprises two former watchtowers restored into farmhouses, and a new construction farmhouse built in the same style, all completed in the early 2000s.
Located in the ‘Green Heart of Italy’ and offering lovely views of the rolling Umbrian hills, the property is nestled in a lush 2.47 acre lot set at the edge of a residential area, just 20 minutes from Perugia.
The Italian property offers plenty of rustic charm, featuring ancient terracotta, exposed beams and stonework throughout.
The first farmhouse, dating back to the 16th century, offers over 2000 square feet of interior space with 3 bedrooms, including 2 in the original ancient tower.
The second farmhouse dates back to the 18th century and offers over 3000 square feet of interior space across 4 levels with two large bedroom suites accessible from both internal and external staircases.
The ground floor living areas open out onto the garden, and the property comes with a lovely loggia used as a winter garden and lemon house, and a built-in kitchen with an enclosed veranda, ideal for dining with family and friends.
Outside, a wisteria-clad pergola overlooks the salt-water swimming pool, and provides an ideal setting for dining al fresco, complete with a wood-burning pizza oven.
The last farmhouse on the property, built in the early 2000s, offers nearly 4000 square feet of living space across two floors, split into two separate apartments.
The lower level contains an independent 2-bedroom apartment, as well a lovely brick-barrel vault that is used as a wine cellar.
The other apartment in the farmhouse offers another 2 bedrooms of accommodation, one opening out onto a balcony with panoramic views, and features a living area that opens out onto a beautiful terrace and grounds.
Despite its proximity to local amenities, the property feels ultra-private and peaceful, surrounded by lush greenery with flower gardens, a vegetable garden, and 130 olive trees.
A gem to be discovered, this charming Italian property for sale is an ideal property for a large family or as investment, just a stone’s throw from the city.
Perugia, the capital of Umbria, is one of the most beautiful and beloved cities in Italy, and offers a unique lifestyle that is both culturally rich and pleasantly laidback, deeply rooted in Italian traditions, culture, and history.
