Description
In the characteristic center of Magione, on the shores of Lake Trasimeno in Umbria, small villa with garden for sale. The property (over 500 sqm in total) is a tastefully renovated building with modern installations, currently in use as a B&B (8 bedrooms) but easily convertible into a private home. The 5,300-sqm garden around the property is fenced and lighted and houses the 12 × 8 m swimming pool.
The village offers all basic services (about 500 m, also easily reachable on foot) and for the hospital one just needs to reach Perugia (19km; 25’). Magione train station is 600 m from the property and provides a quick connection to Arezzo (and from here to much of Tuscany) and Perugia. Perugia airport, with many European destinations, is also less than half an hour's drive from the villa.
DESCRIPTION OF BUILDINGS, STATE AND FINISHES
The villa (480 sqm – 5,165 sqft) is a building dating from 1970-1971, which was entirely renovated in 2001 with particular attention to the systems, a factor that had an immediate yield both in benefits and in reducing the running costs of the structure. The building has two floors:
- Ground floor: entrance hall, library, office space, large professional kitchen with pantry, dining room, living room with bar area, service bathroom and bedroom with en-suite bathroom;
- First floor: seven bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms (some with balconies) and access to the partially practicable attic that is very useful as a storage room.
In terms of systems, the house has a state-of-the-art central heating plant that includes solar panels (400 liters of hot water) and a condensing boiler (12,000 – 60,000 kcal). The electrical system has 220V and 380V lines. At the heating level, on the other hand, we find a heat pump (hot/cold air) with separate control for individual rooms.
Speaking of finishes, the villa has fixtures (doors and windows) made of Douglas fir, double glazing, parquet and marble floors (Siena and Carrara), fireplaces made of Siena marble and hand-carved pietra serena, and custom-made furniture made strictly of walnut.
There is also a cottage (50 sqm – 538 sqft) in the garden that is currently used as a pool house, but potentially convertible into a lovely independent guest suite.
A convenient private garage (30 sqm – 323 sqft), a storage room (50 sqm – 538 sqft) and a small greenhouse (12 sqm – 129 sqft) complete the property.
EXTERIOR
The villa is surrounded by 5,360 sqm of well-kept garden, fully fenced and equipped with about fifty light points controllable by centralized panel. Two entrances, located on opposite sides of the property, open onto public roads.
The olive trees dotting the green produce about 450 kg of olives a year from which an excellent extra virgin olive oil is obtained. A short distance from the villa, in the middle of the garden, is the 12 × 8 m swimming pool with terracotta sunbathing area.
Moreover, a not insignificant detail, the property still has exploitable volume for the construction of new buildings (3,300 cubic meters, roughly equivalent to 1,100 square meters).
