In a panoramic position in the green of Umbria, on the border with Tuscany, just 40-minutes drive from Cortona, beautiful farmhouse with swimming pool for sale. The property (over 460 sqm) has been finely renovated and divided into two portions (private home and vacation home) and is accompanied by 4,770 sqm of land that houses the 15 × 7 m swimming pool.
Basic services are available in the nearby town (4km; 5'), while if you are looking for something more detailed, just reach Città di Castello or Umbertide (2km; 20'). The convenient location on the border between Tuscany and Umbria means that in a short time one can reach most of the art cities of the two regions (Cortona, Arezzo, Perugia, Montone, Passignano...).
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The farmhouse (465 sqm – 5,003 sqft, 8 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms) for sale consists of two residential portions (one of which is a former drying room) connected by a covered terrace. Both buildings are independent and the current owners have lived in one of them and rented out the second.
The private home consists of a living room, an eat-in kitchen with dining room, a bedroom, a bathroom and a pantry on the lower floor. An internal staircase leads to the upper floor with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. In addition, there is another room now used as a study, which can be reached either by the internal or external staircase.
The holiday home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor, a modern eat-in kitchen and a dining room with access to the garden and a large terrace for outdoor dining with a sun umbrella, barbecue and a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside. An internal staircase leads upstairs to a reception room in the old tobacco tower, with very high ceilings, making this a very light and airy space. The hall leads to a beautiful covered terrace with breathtaking panoramic views of the valley and surrounding hills. This living level is completed by two further bedrooms with en suite; one of the bedrooms has a private terrace with a wonderful view.
The property has been restored with great care and with the intention of achieving a high level of living comfort while respecting its original character, using traditional chestnut beams as well as terracotta ceilings and floors that remain pleasantly cool in the hot summer months.
EXTERIORS
The land (4,770 sqm – 1.1 ac) extends towards the valley, while the beautiful heated saltwater 15 × 7 m swimming pool with sun terrace is located on a different level, so that it is easily accessible from both houses. The area around the pool (with lavender beds and a variety of roses and shrubs including rosemary, sage and thyme) provides a typically Mediterranean atmosphere.
The rest of the land is mostly part of the wood surrounding the property. Thanks to the hillside location, there is a splendid view of the valley below and the enchanting hills typical of this area.
USE AND POTENTIAL USES
The complex can be used both as a private residence and as a tourist accommodation.
The high-quality renovation, the high level of living comfort, the exceptionally privileged position on the border between Umbria and Tuscany, and the versatile possibilities of use give the property great charm.
