188 m² Country house Umbria

Umbria – charming stone country house with pool, olive grove and real personality Does your Italian dream include a country house that feels genuinely individual – with old stone walls, a swimming pool, olive trees and plenty of character? In the green hills near Fontignano, southwest of Perugia, this beautiful early 20th-century stone house enjoys a peaceful and private setting. The property was renovated in 2005 and is in good condition, offering approximately 188 m² of living space arranged over two floors. The house retains much of the atmosphere people hope to find in an old Italian country property: exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors, stone walls and a warm, informal interior. And then there is the red English telephone box outside the house – a detail that almost perfectly sums up the personality of this property. On the ground floor there is a comfortable living room with wood-burning stove, a study that could also be used as a small bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen with an exposed stone wall. There is also an additional recreation and living area with space for games and relaxation. The kitchen and living areas connect naturally with the outdoor terraces. A covered wooden pergola and large paved terrace create a wonderful setting for breakfast, long lunches and summer evenings outdoors. The first floor contains three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. One of the bedrooms has direct access to its own panoramic terrace overlooking the surrounding countryside. Outside, the private 6 x 12 metre swimming pool has its own paved sun terrace and barbecue area. The property includes approximately 7,000 m² of land with an organic olive grove containing around 150 productive trees. According to the information provided, the grove normally produces approximately 80–100 litres of extra virgin olive oil per year. There is also a small stone outbuilding currently used for storage. Water is supplied by a private artesian well with a 10,000-litre storage tank, while the property has electricity, internet, heat-pump heating and cooling and LPG for hot water and cooking. The house is reached via a short unpaved road and enjoys considerable privacy, while everyday services can still be reached on foot. Perugia Airport is approximately 30 minutes away by car. Who is this property for? This property is for buyers who put atmosphere and character high on their list. It is not an imposing formal estate, but a warm and highly individual home with three main bedrooms, the possibility of a smaller fourth bedroom, several living areas and plenty of space for outdoor life. The swimming pool, olive grove and approximately 7,000 m² of land make it attractive as either a private holiday home or permanent residence, while its distinctive character could also make it interesting for high-quality holiday rentals.
