The main house

The mansion (520 sqm)was built finished in 2011 with the use of outstanding craftsmanship. With its fantastic design and stonework the first impression is quite stately. The symmetric style and square shape reflect the features of a ‘casa padronale’, traditionally the main house of an important farm. The external staircase and loggia remind us of its original use with stables on the ground floor and living quarters on the first floor. Throughout the house only the best materials have been used while creating a delightful mix between traditional and contemporary design. Wooden beams and cotto floors are the trademarks of Umbrian buildings whereas especially the comfortable and convenient layout enhances the modern atmosphere. All systems will satisfy all modern demands.

Layout

The front door opens to a lovely hallway with cross vaulted ceiling. Large open spaces divided by wide arches can be found on both sides of the entrance. To the left are a substantial sitting room and dining area. Various door open up to the spacious covered porch which offers a beautiful view of the pool area and rose garden.

A top notch  fully equipped industrial style kitchen is located behind the dining area. Managing catering for a large number of people will be an easy task. The kitchen has direct access to the terrace and BBQ area as well as to a pantry with a central vacuum cleaning system and a laundry room. A  second lounge and entertainment area at situated to the right of the entrance. The higher windows mimic the style of the old stables.

The space of the centrally located stairs again showcases the marvelous expertise of the builders. The wall design, arched niches, height and other characteristics blend together in a perceptible and sophisticated castle style.  The staircase itself is wide, easy and though placed in the heart of the building very bright. The elevator can be used for both people and  luggage. A powder room and back entrance are nicely tucked away in a separate hallway.

The first floor harbours 4 bedrooms all 4 of which enjoy the comfort of a spacious en-suite bathroom, each of which with a different color scheme. The main bedroom includes a sitting area.

The dependance

From the secondary gate one has direct access to the annex (75 sqm), whereas from the main house it can be reached on foot. The building spreads out over two floors.  On the top floor at garden level  are the guest quarters. The two identical guest apartments both consist of an ample open plan living and kitchen. They offer a spacious and pleasant bedroom with adjoining a comfortable bathroom.

Below the apartments and accessible from the service entrance lies a huge spa area (150 sqm). Quite impressive metal doors give access to the area which to the left offers  a steam room and sauna. To the right are the bathrooms and dressing rooms. The open space features a large jacuzzi, recliners to unwind, a tea and snack area and leave ample space for, for example, a cinema.

Land

The estate is very well proportioned with 2,5 hectares of fully fenced and gently sloping land. A lush well designed garden with a very enjoyable pool (14 x 7) area surround the house.  A large cotto sundeck wraps around the pool and offers ample space for sunbathing and relaxation. A formal rose garden and delightful vegetable garden near the BBQ area and kitchen.

The property has two separate entrances. The main entrance offers covered parking for four cars and access to the house and dependance. The secondary gate provides ample space for up to 15 vehicles, gives access to a gravel road which enables maintenance vehicles to navigate the land. This road passes in front of the spa and storage spaces for easy access for that part as well.  The olive grove in the lower part of the land features about 175 trees that produce DOP quality olive oil.

A small lake works as a rainwater storage to be recycled for irrigation of the garden.
