The buildings

The property comprises a main building and 2 annexes.

The property is offered with 1 ha of land. The boundaries will need to be agreed upon with the sellers who own the surrounding land. If desired it is possible to purchase a larger surface.

Are you looking for an easy location, nothing huge, with lovely views and a project to keep yourself entertained? Preferably in the center of Umbria and close to all kinds of cities and sites?  This is it so keep reading! The main characteristics for this property are:

• facing south in shielded position

• gorgeous views

• interesting low maintenance plot

• easy location with only 50 gravel road

• amenities within short distance

The house

The building dates back to around 1900 and was used as farmhouse.  As most homes of this type spaces were added on  over time and both ground floor and the first floor are no all even. The ground floor still features the stables, old ones as well as a more recent extension. The top floor can be reached via the external staircase.

This house needs either a full renovation or can be demolished and rebuild. Choosing for the second option will make it possible to move the house to a slightly higher location which would create a great space for a terrace facing the sunrise. The view is open towards the south as well, to the west partially as the olive grove is located on that side of the plot.

A demolition will offer the possibility to recuperate old materials like bricks and stone whereas beam can be recycled but not as structural elements as their strength can not be verified. For the work to be done we have our Renovating in Umbria crews available. They can provide estimates and quotes also before an eventual purchase in order to have a complete overview of all  the costs.

It is possible to add an additional 100 square meters to the current surface.

Land

The plot covers about 3.000 square meters and is especially nice as it spreads out over different levels. It is slightly sloping to the south while the higher part to the north shelters the house from the cold winter winds. The approximately 30 mature olive trees produce a nice quality oil. Water mains are present.

Surroundings

Pantalla is one of the many ancient villages in Umbria and part of the municipality of Todi.  It offers various shops, pharmacy, postal office, a modern hospital, and access to the E34 highway. The immediate surroundings feature winding roads, fields, woodlands and stunning views. The vineyards of Montefalco and Bevagna are nearby, as well as the bustling university city Perugia, famous Assisi and many other fascinating cities and attractions. The nearest international airport is Perugia.

The buildings

This property consists of various stone buildings all located as a group with only short distances between them. They are located at the lower part of the land with easy access from the dead end gravel road.

The casa padronale, or main house, which was always the most important building. It is easy to recognise by its square shape and decorational strips of bricks on the outside. The ground floor still features very nice arches. In one of the top floor rooms remnants of a fireplace are visible. They used to harbour the living quarters of the farm owner. As the building is in bad condition it is not possible to enter. The roof has collapsed as well as the outside staircase and it needs a full renovation.

A casale, and farmhouse which on the ground floor harboured stables and on the top floor homes for the workers. In this case, as with almost every building of this type, it is possible to distinguish the central part which was the oldest. An external staircase, stable and second house were added on when the initial home became too small. A traditional woodover is situated beneath the  original staircase with loggia at the backside. . This building is in a similar state and requires a full renovation as well.

The third building is square and 3 floors tall.  It has an unusual ground floor with a double arch and in the between them a very nice column. Most likely also this space used to harbour livestock. The first floor was habitable space whereas the second floor was either a home or storage space. This building is structurally in a better shape but obviously still needs a full overhaul.

Outbuildings

Behind the casale are the leftovers of a stable which over time has collapsed. It is possible to recuperate and reuse this volume. Next to the casa padronale a very large stable features a roof of more recent date. Structurally this building is in good condition. Again next to this stable sits a small ruin of which the purpose is not entirely clear.

The land

5 Ha of gently sloping hills are included in the property. Breathtaking views can be enjoyed from anywhere. The land is divided between arable, meadow and woods. An big old stone well is situated at a higher part of the land.

Surroundings
