Description
This wonderful property is located at the intersection of Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany, in an area rich in history and art. It is located in the famous Parco dei Calanchi, in front of Civita di Bagnoregio, the "dying city", 20 km from Orvieto, only an hour from Rome and an hour and a half from Florence and is easily reachable from A1 motorway. Built on the foundations of an ancient Roman watchtower, the main building of this large property was built in two phases, the first part in 850 a.d. (including the tower) and the second part in the twelfth century. In medieval times it was used as a military post, overlooking the valley. Over time it was transformed into a palace and a small private chapel was added together with a large farmhouse (about 500 square meters - not renovated) divided into stables and apartments for workers. Located in two hectares of mature parkland, an avenue of about 150 m. opens in a square in front of the manor (about 1,400 square meters). The manor has been completely renovated keeping as many original features as possible and using carefully selected materials from the appropriate era. On the ground floor there is a large entrance hall, two conservatory rooms, a large double reception, a guest bathroom, a TV room, a double dining room, a kitchen and a pantry. There is also a small cellar where the original medieval urns and two small warehouses are still visible. A space has also been created for an elevator that will go up to the third floor. The second floor has four double bedrooms each with their own private bathroom. A reception room, a library, a small laundry room and two terraces. The third floor houses a large living room as a study, three further double bedrooms with private bathrooms, two closets, a billiard room, a small sitting area and in the tower a lounge with a splendid view of the valley. From this room climbing the ancient stone staircase you reach a mezzanine and a terrace overlooking the gardens and the valley. From the terrace you can enjoy an amazing view over the valley and the surrounding villages. The property includes about 10 hectares of woods and olive groves (600/700 trees). A church currently consecrated is located in the driveway, with tall trees. In addition to the above, there are 15 hectares of woodland and olive grove (about 600 trees). The main house has 6 LPG boilers, two on each floor, for heating together with 2 antique burners
