On the border between Tuscany and Umbria, on a natural terrace at an altitude of 320 m asl, estate with historic farmhouse and bio-lake for sale. The buildings of the property (544 sqm, 11 bedrooms) have been completely renovated and equipped with the most modern facilities. The 11.0 ha plot of land surrounding the houses is mostly covered by forest and houses a biolago with a sewage treatment plant.
Basic services are available in the nearby village (5km; 10’) while the historic center of Città di Castello is about a half-hour drive away and offers everything one might need (banks, post offices, hospital, shopping centers...). The central location of the property makes it easy to move between Tuscany and Umbria to visit the most renowned centers of the two regions (Cortona, Castiglion Fiorentino, Siena, Florence, Perugia, Montepulciano, Pienza...).
This property lends itself to use both as a main residence and as a tourist facility, due to its strategic location and the growing demand for these areas from Italian and foreign clients. A separate sale can also be considered.
Umbria - Perugia - Città di Castello
Often called the "green heart of Italy," Umbria is a picturesque region characterized by lush landscapes, medieval hilltop towns, and a deep-rooted connection to art and spirituality. Nestled between Tuscany and Lazio, Umbria is less frequented by tourists, offering a more serene and authentic Italian experience.
Umbria's cuisine is rustic and hearty, reflecting its agricultural traditions. Known for its black truffles, which grow in abundance in the region’s forests, Umbrian dishes often feature this earthy delicacy in pasta, risotto, and sauces. Porchetta, a savory roasted pork dish seasoned with herbs, is another local favorite, often enjoyed at village festivals or as street food. Lentils from Castelluccio, grown in the Sibillini Mountains, are prized for their quality and flavor, often used in soups and salads. Olive oil from the region is also exceptional, with many small-scale producers offering tours and tastings.
Wine is equally important, with Umbria producing notable varieties such as Sagrantino di Montefalco and Orvieto, a crisp white wine that pairs beautifully with the region’s lighter dishes. The rolling vineyards and olive groves create a stunning backdrop for wine tours and tastings.
Historically and culturally, Umbria offers a wealth of treasures. Assisi, the birthplace of Saint Francis, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an important pilgrimage destination. Its Basilica di San Francesco is adorned with frescoes by Giotto and Cimabue, offering visitors a spiritual and artistic journey. Perugia, the region’s capital, is known for its lively atmosphere, medieval architecture, and the Umbria Jazz Festival, one of Europe’s most renowned music events. Spoleto, famous for its Festival dei Due Mondi, is a cultural hub, while Gubbio retains a well-preserved medieval charm.
The natural beauty of Umbria extends to its landscapes. The Valnerina Valley, with its cascading waterfalls and rugged mountains, is perfect for hiking and outdoor activities, while Lake Trasimeno, Italy’s fourth-largest lake, offers tranquil views and opportunities for boating and swimming.
