Description of buildings
Borghetto del Benessere is an agricultural estate of about 27 hectares, used as agritourism and composed of:
- the main farmhouse, which is spread over two large floors consisting of two housing units that can be kept separate or joined for a total commercial area of 403 sqm, the guest house, of 170 commercial sqm and composed of 3 rooms with en-suite bathroom, and the multipurpose room of 122 commercial sqm;
- 4 outbuildings, accessory to the agricultural activity, with a total commercial area of 196 sqm.
External areas
A 26-ha plot of land surrounds the farm: 1 ha is occupied by an organic olive grove with about 250 young trees and 40 old ones, a fruit orchard with 70 trees of old non-GMO varieties, two organic vegetable gardens (a boxed one in front of the main farmhouse) with scheduled drip irrigation, gardens with a variety of ornamental plants and flowers (with automatic irrigation), and parking areas.
Moreover, the garden in front of the farmhouse includes a pink Assisi stone and quartz fountain by Matteo Peducci, a visionary sculptor from Affiliati (www.affiliatiart.com).
Woods and cultivations of grains and legumes occupy the remaining plot of land.
Borghetto del Benessere has been certified as an organic farm for over 20 years. It produces and markets pasta, flour, legumes, and organic oil under its brand name.
A swimming pool or biolake can be built on the land after applying for the necessary permits. Authorisation for the biolake has already been obtained. However, the procedure must be repeated since a new project is needed.
Use and potential uses
Borghetto del Benessere is an agriturismo and is sold as such with all the related tax advantages.
Its strategic position (5 km from Assisi and less than one hour from other Umbria’s historical towns) makes it ideal for an accommodation business, a yoga or meditation retreat centre, or for other niche events. This property is immersed in the peace and quiet of untouched nature in one of Italy’s most popular tourist and spiritual destinations.
