I would LIVE HERE FOREVER!

I think this is a bargain! Nine bedrooms. Lovely mature private garden. Full of original features. Tour this Italian Property with Nick Ferrand.

The unique location being only 2 minutes from one of the most prestigious Renaissance residence, La Villa del Colle del Cardinale, and the importance of the Villa and its botanical gardens ensures the protection of the surround area.

This stunning Italian Property was built in the early 1500's as part of an Augustinian monastery and many of the original features (the fireplaces, arches, beautiful beams and terracotta floors) have been preserved by the subsequent owners of this very special home. The house sits on a small hill surrounded by vineyards, fields, olive groves and woodlands. The large, terraced garden has a variety of well-established trees including, oak, magnolia, pine, linden, plum, fig, apple and walnut. Truffles grow beneath the trees. The adjoining field, which also belongs to the property, looks stunning when sown with a sea of sunflowers, but could also be planted with vines or olives. It is also the perfect place for a pool.

This warm and inviting house is on three levels. The ground floor, originally the wine cellars, is now a large, independent, beautifully restructured two-bedroom flat that is very popular on both holiday rental and home exchange sites. The two upper floors are the family home. This comprises two large living rooms, two dining rooms, kitchen, music room, study, laundry, cellar, linen room, three bathrooms, a guest toilet and seven bedrooms. The house has a heritage listing, but this only applies to the exterior of the building. The interior could easily be altered to suit the requirements of a future owner.

The original tower was built around a 12th century and now forms part of the neighbouring property. A shared courtyard featuring a stunning medieval archway and a beautiful centuries old well divides the two original monastic wings that face in different directions and are completely independent of each other. Access to the main house is not through this courtyard. The current owners of the property have always found having neighbours an asset rather than a problem. This beautiful home, situated halfway between Umbria’s vibrant capital, Perugia, and Lake Trasimeno, an oasis of calm on the Tuscan border, is, as it always has been, a peaceful haven in the Umbrian hills.
