Description
4-Bedroom Farmhouse with Breathtaking Views, Guest Cottage, Stables, and 31 Hectares of Land .
This recently restored 4-bedroom farmhouse combines traditional charm with modern comforts, offering a perfect balance of history and convenience. The property has been thoughtfully updated, enhancing the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms while retaining its original features, including spacious reception rooms and elegant bedroom suites. It is an ideal second home, rental property, or equestrian retreat. However, its most remarkable feature is its exceptional location. Perched on a hillside above the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Valley of the Calanchi, this property offers breathtaking panoramic views of dramatic clay dunes and lush woodlands. The “moon-like” landscape of the Calanchi creates an almost surreal backdrop, making the approach to the property a truly unforgettable experience.
Included in the sale is a guest cottage, a swimming pool, stables for 7 horses, a large cow shed, and a hay barn, all set within approximately 31 hectares of land—a mix of woodland, olive groves, and fields. This property is a must-see, offering a unique combination of seclusion, beauty, and functionality.
Flexible Land Option:
The property can also be purchased with 4 hectares of land, excluding the stables and barn, providing flexibility to suit your needs.
Area:
This farmhouse is just 1 km from the charming village of Vetriolo, which offers essential amenities, including a bar. The larger town of Bagnoregio is only 7.5 km away, while the stunning Civita di Bagnoregio, a striking Etruscan village known as the “Dying City,” is just 9 km from the property. Visible from the house, Civita is a rare jewel in the landscape, accessible only by a footbridge.
For those seeking further conveniences, the historic town of Orvieto and its mainline train station are just 28 km away. The nearest international airport in Rome is approximately 100 km from the property, making this a perfect location for both peace and connectivity.
Land:
The property includes around 31 hectares of land, offering complete privacy and tranquility. The land is fully fenced to protect the local wildlife, including deer that inhabit the woodland area. There are olive groves with approximately 200 olive trees, alongside fertile fields perfect for cultivation or grazing.
The stables, located away from the main house, are surrounded by paddocks. If the stables and barn are not required, the owners are also open to selling the farmhouse and cottage separately.
