Description
Situated in an open and sunny position, on the hillsides on the border between Umbria and Tuscany, this country house offers an open and breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside while being close to all services. The building, made of stone and brick, has been renovated with high quality finishes, while maintaining the original rustic charm, and is embellished by a 6,600-sqm garden.
This extraordinary panoramic position offers tranquility and the possibility of immersing oneself in the beauty of the Umbrian and Tuscan countryside: a pleasant hillside pond completes the panorama.
Basic services are all available in the nearby town (about 2 km) and the historic center of Città di Castello can be reached by car in about twenty minutes. The E45 motorway ensures a quick and convenient connection to much of central Italy and many of the art cities of Umbria and Tuscany can be reached in less than two hours by car (Sansepolcro, Cortona, Perugia, Montepulciano...).
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY
The property (400 sqm – 4,304 sqft, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) is spread over two floors, both accessible directly from the outside and communicating internally with a staircase. The doors and floors made out of terracotta and wood are very well maintained and the fixtures have all been recently renovated. Worthy of note is the complete energy and functional autonomy of the building without renouncing the authentic Umbrian farmhouse flavor.
The ground floor consists of three large rooms, once cellars and stables, connected by brick and stone arches, which are currently renovated but still in an unfinished state. This level has exit, one of them on the large porch that runs along the most panoramic side of the building. Next to the porch is a service bathroom, already finished and furnished. The owners were planning to convert the ground floor into an independent apartment.
On the west side of the building is a beautiful original stone staircase under which an old oven has been restored and a laundry room with adjoining technical room has been rebuilt.
On the first floor, the apartment consists of a spacious living room, finely furnished and equipped with a large fireplace, connected directly with a charming kitchen, made of brick and blue wood, equipped with all comforts and a generous pantry.
From the main living room, heart of the house, there is also direct access to the office space, a bathroom, and the staircase leading down to the ground floor, as well as to the area in which there are three bedrooms and a bright bathroom.
The property is completed by a large garden, approximately 6,600 sqm (1.6 acres), which is very well cared for with olive trees, fruit trees and corners of stones and rocks adorned with flowers and medicinal plants.
On the ground floor, connected to the huge main hall, is a covered outdoor area that can serve as a garage and woodshed or tool shed.
