HISTORIC COUNTRY HOUSE WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS OF TODI FOR SALE IN UMBRIA

With panoramic views of the historic center of Todi, in the heart of Umbria, farmhouse with medieval tower of the 13th century for sale. The property (over 600 sqm), which sees preserved and enhanced all its original features, thanks to a philological renovation, is unique and the perfectly preserved exposed stone in all facades is enhanced by the green of the surrounding nature. The partially renovated building also lends itself to be divided into several residential units with independent outdoor spaces for guests. The 8.3-ha plot of land surrounding the house is covered in woods with truffles and arable land, and there is already a platform for the construction of a panoramic swimming pool.

This farmhouse is ideal for those seeking an oasis of peace and tranquility not far from services, and from the center of Todi not giving up contact with unspoiled nature and absolute privacy.

Services are available in the nearby medieval village of Todi (about 15’) by car, but the proximity to the E45 highway (just beyond Todi, about 20’ drive) allows easy access to most of the cities of Umbria (Perugia, Assisi, Deruta, Spoleto) and Rome (2h drive).

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The main wing of the farmhouse (340 sqm – 3,658 sqft) is on two levels, connected internally by a majestic staircase with travertine steps and wrought-iron railing:

- Ground floor: large entrance hall, bedroom with en-suite bathroom, laundry, cellar and three covered garages (all connected internally to the house);

- First floor: double living room with original fireplace, sitting area, eat-in kitchen, two double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one for the living area, one for the sleeping area) and storage room.

The secondary wing (220 sqm – 2,367 sqft) was built at a later date, eventually encompassing the tower of the old castle, and can also be reached via a bridge room from the main wing. This section has been fully consolidated but left in builder’s finish, so that the buyer can choose the finishes he/she prefers with complete freedom.

The skillful restoration carried out by the owners has been able to preserve and enhance the building’s most sought-after finishes including exposed stone walls with original angles and decorations dating back to the Middle Ages, fully restored roofs with chestnut beams and reclaimed terracotta tiles, original terracotta floors with 40 × 15 cm tiles, fixtures still made of chestnut wood but with insulating double glazing for better energy efficiency, solid chestnut wood doors (some original, others faithful reproductions throughout), period fireplaces made of dressed stone and hand-wrought iron railings. This is then complemented by the modern solution of underfloor heating with independent management of as many as five zones, assisted by a pellet stove for any additional needs.

Accompanying the main building is a shed with a canopy (40 sqm – 430 sqft), an outdoorbathroom dating back to medieval times, and an 8 m tub that was used in not-too-distant times by farmers for washing clothes.
