339 m² Country house Umbria

Does your Italian dream include a country house with a pool and panoramic views of Lake Trasimeno? Set in the green hills near Tuoro sul Trasimeno in Umbria, close to the Tuscan border and only around 15 km from Cortona, this characterful country property enjoys spectacular open views across Lake Trasimeno. Dating back to the early 1800s, the south-facing property sits approximately 350 metres above sea level. The main house offers around 364 sqm arranged over two floors and is complemented by a separate guest cottage, swimming pool, landscaped gardens and 3.6 hectares of land with approximately 300 olive trees, some more than a century old. The ground floor features a living room opening into an orangery/conservatory with lake views, a library, dining room with wood-burning stove, kitchen, bedroom/study, bathroom and laundry room. A technical room has separate external access. Upstairs, a characteristic loggia leads to another living room with fireplace, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The spacious master suite includes an additional bedroom or study with a wooden loft and an en-suite bathroom with Jacuzzi. The house retains many of its original features, including high exposed wooden-beamed ceilings and handmade terracotta floors. The bathrooms have subsequently been renovated using travertine stone. The separate guest cottage of approximately 25 sqm offers a living room with fireplace, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, together with a 15 sqm covered porch. A 50-year-old wisteria creates a natural shaded pergola for outdoor dining and relaxing. The landscaped garden of approximately 1,200 sqm is an important part of the property's character. More than 30 varieties of roses grow alongside fruit trees and a wide selection of flowers and exotic shrubs. The panoramic 10 x 5 metre swimming pool overlooks the lake and is surrounded by terraces, with an outdoor kitchen and dining area nearby. The 3.6 hectares of land include an olive grove with around 300 trees as well as fig, walnut, cherry and persimmon trees. There is also the possibility of extending the existing buildings by approximately 100 sqm. Despite its private and peaceful setting, everyday amenities are only around 2 km away. Perugia Airport is approximately 45 km from the property, while Florence is around 130 km away. The final 600 metres of access are via a combination of concrete and gravel road, suitable for normal cars. Who is this property for?
