Prestigious 313 acres estate featuring a 1700s noble villa, private chapel, farm, sports center with two pools, olive grove and vineyards for sale in Città della Pieve, Perugia. Nestled in an unspoiled nature between Lake Trasimeno and Lake Chiusi, on a private  313 acres plot with forest, olive groves and vineyards, surrounded by picturesque tree-lined paths and pretty natural pathways, magnificent estate once owned by a local marquises family. An elegant cypress-lined drive leads to the center of the estate with a manor villa coupled with a large farm and a sports center, in a dominant position with commanding views of the-Umbrian and Tuscan landscape. The villa is a splendid 18th-century example on four above-ground floors with porticoes and panoramic terraces, marked and embellished by stone pillars, marble elements and stone frames. Two coats of arms of the marquises, three pigeons topped by a crowned eagle, are still present on the main facade. The entrance hall opens onto a striking atrium leading to the upper noble floors featuring reception halls with terraces and stylish bedrooms. The basement floors feature characteristic cellars carved into the rock. Connected by interesting architectural pathways is the majestic farm complex, intended for both agricultural use and hospitality with entertainment and multipurpose areas, store, office, four apartments, warehouses and deposit rooms. Near the villa, the former greenhouse and the private chapel are picturesque buildings ideal for ceremonies and memorable events. The large park houses two swimming pools, two tennis courts, a bocce ground, a soccer and volleyball court. A magnificent combination of nature and history, in a perfect setting enjoying great privacy, a short distance from all amenities and all major historical and cultural routes,  the Marquise Estate is in need of restyling with excellent potential both for a tourist country retreat or for private use, to live with family and friends or to host travelers from all over the world for their holidays in central Italy.
