Description
This outstanding 18th century farmhouse of nearly 400 sq. m., set in an idyllic location close to Città della Pieve with far reaching views, is exceptional on many fronts. It offers the potential of renting a part of the house which has been divided in such a way as to keep it completely independent, leaving the lower part of the building as a a luxurious home for the owner. Alternatively it would make a splendid home for a large family with its six bedrooms and five bathrooms. We understand that there is also the possibility of adding a further 120 sq. of living space if desired.
Area:
Città della Pieve, situated in Umbria, close to the Tuscan border, is one of the more vibrant towns in the area as well as being home to Perugini’s Adoration of the Magi and other works in the Cathedral that dominates the main square of the town. A wide range of shops, crafts, and excellent restaurants have already attracted many international clients from the cinema and artistic world.
The farmhouse is only 3 km from Monteleone d’Orvieto, a charming medieval village, and enjoys excellent access to major travel routes—just 7.3 km from the Fabro exit of the A1 motorway, allowing easy travel to both Rome and Florence (approximately 90 minutes by car or train).
The surrounding area is renowned for its natural beauty and proximity to some of central Italy’s most sought-after destinations, including Orvieto, Lake Trasimeno, Val d’Orcia, and the wine towns of Montepulciano and Montalcino.
Land:
Set within over 8 hectares (approximately 20 acres) of private land, the farmhouse is surrounded by terraced gardens, olive groves, and natural woodland. Around 250 mature olive trees produce high-quality extra virgin olive oil each year.
The landscaped garden slopes down to a 10 x 5 metre swimming pool, heated by solar panels, and is complemented by a lotus pond and shaded terraces for outdoor relaxation. A traditional wood-fired bread oven, covered dining area, and panoramic terrace provide perfect spaces for entertaining and enjoying the evening sunsets.
