In the hills of Umbria, on the border with Tuscany and Lazio, an organic farm of 195.2 ha with Agriturismo and 34.8 ha of olive groves for sale. The estate includes numerous buildings (over 2,100 sqm in total), including a restored farmhouse, an olive processing cellar, several warehouses and some ruined farmhouses. The renovation of the buildings would allow for new guest rooms (up to 20).
The property can be reached via an unpaved road in excellent condition (approx. 4 km) that connects directly to a small medieval town where basic services are located. At the same time, the estate is located not far from the A1 motorway, which ensures a quick connection to much of Italy (Florence and Rome in primis).
Umbria - Terni - Terni
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.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The main farmhouse (524 sqm - 5,638 sqft, 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms) is a rustic two-story building in good general condition and divided into two independent apartments (one on each floor):
- Apartment N°1: living room with dining area, service bathroom, kitchen with pantry and small technical room, three bedrooms with en-suite bathroom;
- Apartment N°2: living room with dining area and service bathroom, kitchen and four bedrooms with en-suite bathroom.
The building has been restored preserving most of its finishes, which include original terracotta floors, natural wooden beams and still functioning engraved stone fireplaces. For the areas where the original flooring was no longer present, a dark parquet floor was chosen that is reminiscent of the old wooden floors.
The farmhouse is surrounded by approximately 9,800 sqm of well-kept garden with terraces and ornamental cypress trees. On the upper terrace, just above the house, is the 20 x 10 m swimming pool with solarium, in terracotta and grass.
Opposite the house is an agricultural warehouse (120 sqm - 1,291 sqft) divided into three rooms plus a porch.
In a secluded position, slightly downhill from the farmhouse, is a cellar (296 sqm - 3,185 sqft) in which the oil produced on the farm is processed and stored. All around are then scattered storerooms, former stables, warehouses, a greenhouse and a shed to shelter vehicles and tools (for a total of 227 sqm - 2,442 sqft).
The property is completed by a number of ruined farmhouses (about 1,000 sqm - 10,760 sqft in total), located in various parts of the farm. ne of the country houses was structurally consolidated with total replacement of the roof and only needs finishing works.
EXTERIORS
In addition to the garden, the farm includes approximately 194.2 hectares (479.9 acres) of agricultural land, mostly covered by mixed woodland (92.4 ha).
In terms of production, the farm has approximately 34.8 ha of organic olive grove that produces an excellent extra virgin olive oil (Leccino, Moraiolo, Frantoio, Maurino and Pendolino varieties). The remaining area is occupied by arable land (66.9 ha) that is very suitable for planting new olive trees and also new crops (wheat, spelt, rye...).
