Location

This wonderful property is situated in the Niccone valley in Umbria, on the border with Tuscany, in a fantastic, scenic position, which is quiet, private and just 2 km from the nearest town.

The property consists of two beautiful stone houses, built on multiple levels, with a total gross floor of 584 sqm and a small building, used as a storehouse, of 37 sqm, all surrounded by about 1½ hectares of land.

We are located in the northernmost area of Umbria, just 13 km from Umbertide, less than half an hour from Lake Trasimeno and Città di Castello (both 26 miles away) and about an hour's drive from Perugia (46 km) and Arezzo (65 km).
From here, you can reach important Tuscan cities of art, like Montepulciano (62 km), Pienza (75 km), Siena (100 km) and Florence (144 km) in less than two hours, as well as the Adriatic Riviera.
The nearest airport is Perugia S. Egidio, just 40 minutes away (44 km), while the airports of Ancona (136 km) and Florence (157 km) are about two hours drive away.

Description of buildings

This fantastic property is the result of the careful renovation of the ruins of an ancient 16th century convent. It consists of two buildings in exposed stone and has been left largely intact, except for a glass connection bridge within which a magnificent panoramic lounge has been created.
This creative solution allows flexibility when living in the property, either using it fully, when needed, or closing part of it off, when appropriate.

The bigger house is spread over three levels, with the ground floor used entirely as a living area, consisting of an entrance hall, a lounge with a fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen, a bathroom and two cellars. On the mezzanine floor there is a room with a bed and private bathroom. The first floor consists of a study with a fireplace, a bedroom with a bathroom, a convenient walk-in wardrobe, an attic room with a bed and another bathroom.

The smaller house is connected to the main building by a walkway that has a wall completely in glass and it has an independent entrance on the ground floor.
There is a fully independent studio apartment on the ground floor. The first floor consists of a living room/games room, lounge with panoramic windows, bathroom and toilet and on the top, attic floor, there is a large room with a bed.

Externally, there is a toolshed /double garage and a storehouse, useful for storing garden furniture and pool equipment.

Energy Class: G. 154kWh/m2.

Condition

The property has been masterfully restored, maintaining its typical character and original features.

The interiors are welcoming, with excellent finishes, including handmade terracotta, original wooden beams and old stones imported from the Puglia region.

Outdoor space

The property is surrounded by about 1.5 hectares of land, with a well-kept garden, an area with a swimming pool measuring 12m x 6m, a panoramic terrace with a pergola, fruit trees and a wood.

For those interested, there is also an opportunity to purchase an additional 2.5 hectares of woodland.

Usage and potential

Thanks to its panoramic, private position, easily accessible and in a central position with respect to important historical towns of Tuscany and Umbria, this is the perfect solution for anyone seeking a permanent residence or for those looking for a holiday home.

Interestingly, the two buildings may be used as one whole residence or as two separate units, using one part as guest accommodation.
