The Project

What it is like to see a stunning sunset every day? Well we think these pics give a good idea of what awaits the buyers of this lovely property! It is situated in a private but not really isolated location in the hills just north of Umbria. A winding uphill road leads to the old farmhouse with the annexes situated at a higher level around the back. The dominant position ensures stunning sweeping views of  vineyards and fields. Further up the property is shielded and backed by woodlands. And that’s not all there is to it, here we go with the key features!

  • The context is just beautiful and within the boundaries of an historic property
  • Though it feels like a remote spot the amenities and highway are within easy reach
  • The property enjoys a south facing position with a 180 view from east to west
  • There are many ways and possibilities to develop and personalise the property
  • Renovation and construction crew with excellent reputation is readily available

 

The buildings

The property comprises a main building and 2 annexes. The structural state of the house requires an evaluation whether renovating or (partial) demolition and rebuilding is the best and most feasible option. Of the annexes is not much left which opens a lot of opportunities. According to regional laws another 100 s qm can be added to the existing surface.

The land

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. A pool can be constructed. The grounds spreads out over various levels which makes landscaping an easy and interesting job with for sure great results. Our Renovating in Umbria group can provide estimate and quotes on request also before an eventual purchase.

The surroundings

The nearest village with amenities lies at  6 km distance. The ancient yet bustling student city Perugia is 24 km away. Golf is nearby with the Antognola Trent Jones golf course (24 km) near Umbertide. Gubbio 20 km, Assisi 42 km and the vineyards of Monte Falco and Bevagna are  other gorgeous cities and sites. As are Spello, Trevi and Spoleto which is known for it’s music festival. The nearest international airport is Perugia at 22 km distance. Ancona on the Adriatic coast is 140 km away.

The Project

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 Project

It’s not easy to find a property to develop or share with just the right original buildings and set up. But we did it and in a delightful area as well! And so we now offer for sale a superb old farm with multiple buildings to renovate. Obviously one can restore for example just one or two units, and either leave or demolish the others. This is  a delightful opportunity for a buyer looking to:

  • renovate and personalise in every possible way

  • buy with friends and develop for each their own home

  • create a retreat for yoga, mediation or education facility

  • start a countryside hospitality business

  • enjoy a strategic and delightful location

  • make use of very interesting renovation subsidies

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

The property is situated on the hills next to Monte Subasio at 2 km from the little Hamlet of Armenzano.  It is one of the 8 villages located within the Regional Park of Monte Subasio . This area is well know for it’s excellent hiking and biking trails as well as the spectacular flora and fauna and particular energy fields. Famous Assisi’s is only  11 km away. It has attracted pelgrimages for centuries and received on average 2 million visitors every year.   Many other fascinating cities are nearby. The bustling student town Perugia, host of the Umbria Jazz Festival lies at 36 km distance.  The international airport is even closer at 26 km.  Also close are  picturesque Spello 23 km, lovely Trevi 32  km and Spoleto 47 km renowned for the International Music Festival. Vineyards are present in abundance in the Bevagna and Montefalco area.

1600s Palazzo with Garden and Watch Tower - Aerial View

1600’s Palazzo with Garden and Tower

Project Details

Location:San Venanzo (TR)
Gross Building Area:275 m2
Estimated Building Time:1 Year
Costs in Current State:Asking € 285.000

Short Description

A well maintained medieval hamlet is home to this rare property, a 17th century “palazzo” with a wonderful and large garden! The setting is delightful and the potential is obvious. There is plenty of space and the possibility to create either a fantastic home or for example a lovely B&B. Some work needs to be done but it will be quite easy to transform the inside into a warm, welcoming and comfortable home.

The Palazzo

This palace is an old style Italian ‘palazzo’, the word that describes a large family home in an historic center. Though part of an even older hamlet this impressive building dates back to the 17th century. It is set against the huge wall surrounding the hamlet and its front door is located in one of the two quaint little streets. The house spreads out over three floors plus two spacious attics and offers many large spaces. The ground floor harbours old cellars and one separate space where once the post office was located.
Wide stairs lead up to the first floor consisting of the traditional “zona giorno”. The two sitting rooms have traditional ceilings with brick vaults, while the corridor and kitchen features ceiling with wooden beams and bricks.A balcony offers access to the garden.
The second floor consists of four bedrooms and a bathroom. Again part of the ceiling is made with vaults, part with wooden beams and bricks. Another balcony is the best place to enjoy the breathtaking view of the wall and the countryside beyond it.
The house is structurally in good condition but is in need of up-dates and upgrades. For someone willing to invest some money and TLC this house can be turned into an absolutely unique home!

The Land

The palazzo currently does not offer ground floor garden access but that will be easy to create. The garden is simply enchanting as well as extraordinary and currently in use as vegetable garden. With quite a large surface, of about 300 square meters and set within the thick ancient wall surrounding the hamlet it seems a hidden gem. The most captivating detail is without a doubt the tower at the corner. The tower features a beautiful stone archway which give access to the inside where there is a deep well. It is possible to create for example a pool and sundeck as well as other outdoor features.
Outside and behind the wall another strip of land is included. It once harboured a chicken coop and can be used for various other purposes.
The wall itself needs some readjustments on the top part as well as on some side parts. One of the neighbouring properties offers a walkway on top of their part of the wall which gives the possibility enjoy the views from atop the wall.

The Area

The village is located in the hills between Todi and Marsciano. A lovely unspoiled area with gorgeous views, winding roads and lots of vineyards as well as olive groves. There is a little bar which is open during the evening in the summer season and which is a great way to get in touch with all the villagers. The nearest amenities are located about 6 km away.

Note: This property is located well away from areas damages by earthquakes.

Country House and X Large Stable - Exterior

Country House and XLarge Stable

Project Details

Location:Avigliano Umbro (TR)
Gross Building Area:600 m2
Estimated Building Time:18 Months
Price: € 250.000

The Project

Surrounded by rolling hills, golden fields and with a view of cypresses this property looks to be positioned in the middle of Tuscany. Its location is however in the heart of Umbria and conveniently close to both Tuscany and Rome. The property used to be part of the Corsini property, a famous and ancient local family, and the farm house still features the family’s coat of arms over the original front door.

There are two existing structures, one being a 19th century farmhouse and the second one a very large stable which used to house many cows. The farmhouse is structurally in good condition, meaning the walls can remain in place. Apart from that is would have to be gutted and redone completely, leaving plenty of space for personal preferences and imagination. It is also an option to tear down the house and move it (350 sq m + 100 sq m amplification) slightly uphill to enjoy a somewhat more dominant position. The design can then be adjusted to adept to the new location.
With regard to the stable of 600 sq m, it can either stay in place or be broken down after which 200 sq m can be placed at a higher part of the land, it will have to remain separate from the other structure and can be used as residence. 400 Sq m will be available for agricultural outbuildings.
With 600 sq m to be used as residence there are lots of possibilities for residential and/or commercial use.

Currently the grounds abandoned and not maintained. There is ample space for landscaping including a large size pool, gardens, olive groves, orchards, terraces, parking and any other feature as desired.

The project is situated in the peaceful countryside between Todi (14 km) and Amelia (20 km), at 2 km from the nearest hamlet and 6 km from all necessary amenities.  Perugia has the nearest airport at 65 km distance, Rome with two international airports is only 116 km away.

Location:Marsciano (PG)
Gross Building Area:600 m2
Estimated Building Time:18 Months
Costs in Current State:Asking € 270.000

Description

The sturdy and angular farmhouse is situated in a quiet location in the hills between Todi and Perugia. It is largely built in stone. Noteworthy are the brick corners and arches over doors and windows as is congruent with the local style of a typical “Casa Colonica”. As any old farmhouse it features the traditional lay-out with the former stables on the ground floor and living quarters on the top floor. This first floor can be reached by the outdoor staircase and loggia, as the current situation lacks an internal staircase.

The property needs a full scale renovation which includes structural work as well. Most of the materials can be recuperated. It is possible to move the road, which currently passes next to the building further out thus creating a more private setting. The land is level and allows for landscaping and the construction of a pool.
