Prestigious authenthic mansion

We love properties and all the different types on the market. But if we could pick this one would definitely be at the top of our list. A beautiful and quite unique ‘casa padronale’ as the main building/residence of an old farm is called. The property enjoys a dominant position facing south and overlooking the Tiber valley . Though it’s been in disuse for quite a long time the structural condition is not too bad. The house does however need a full scale renovation in order to return to its former glory. Here is are the key features that make us tick:

• the main building has large spaces to work with while renovating

• there are several very nice outbuilding to recuperate

• the set-up of the property is just right to keep as it is

• the convenient location is in a high in demand area

• no gravel road to maintain

The buildings

The mansion has the traditional square shape which is characteristic for any casa padronale. The ground floor features a full length stable on the right side whereas the left side offers a room with fireplace and smaller stable. The central door opens up to the staircase which leads to a fist floor with a very simple layout of 4 large rooms and a bathroom. There is plenty of potential for an open plan living, kitchen, sitting and dining room.

The stables

Behind the house are the old stables. They’ve partially collapsed and renovating is not an option but the surface can certainly be rebuild.

The annex

To the left and next to  the house sits an attractive annex of the type that used to harbour agricultural machines. It’s quite pretty and can be converted to livable space.

The fienile

There is another barn  which is quite large, this surface can be reused as well.

The work

For all the renovation and or reconstruction work you can contact us directly. We are part of the Renovating in Umbria group which for more than 20 years has handled projects of foreigners here in Umbria and southern Tuscany.

According to a regional law it is possible to extent the existing surface with an additional 100 sqm.

The land

One hectare of land will be included in the sale. It is possible to purchase additional land if so desired. It is possible to build a pool.
