Nineteenth-century villa with farmhouse, park, and swimming pool in Umbria

On the border with Tuscany, in a dominant and strategic position, in the heart of the most authentic Umbria and just 4 km from the Fabro A1 highway exit, a prestigious estate is offered for sale consisting of a historic manor house dating back to 1898, an independent farmhouse, and a private park with olive grove, pine forest and panoramic swimming pool. The property, immersed in unspoilt natural surroundings, is located in a dominant hillside position about 400 metres above sea level, with spectacular views of Monte Cetona, Monte Amiata and the rolling hills of Umbria and Tuscany. The villa, imposing and harmonious in its architectural lines, is a single building of approximately 730 sqm, spread over three main levels, in addition to the basement and the characteristic central tower. While maintaining its structural integrity, the building is currently divided internally into two residential units, each with independent entrances and distinct rooms, but easily convertible into a single residence. This configuration makes the property extremely versatile: ideal for a large family, for guests or staff, or for developing a high-end hospitality business, without compromising the historical and formal coherence of the villa. The first unit includes the reception rooms, with a main entrance, living room with fireplace, kitchen, bathroom, and a bedroom on the ground floor. The upper floors comprise the sleeping area with three bedrooms and a frescoed Art Nouveau-style lounge, leading up to the turret, where double-height rooms with wooden beams offer unrivalled 360° views. The second unit, with independent access, opens onto a spacious garage and a period cellar on the ground floor. The upper floors feature a large living room, kitchen, study, six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and large terraces overlooking the greenery. All the interiors feature finely restored original details: cross vaults, terracotta floors, frescoes, terraces with cast iron railings and a spectacular stone staircase with wrought iron railing. The surrounding park, completely fenced in, covers approximately 3.5 hectares and is embellished with centuries-old trees, olive trees, maritime pines, oaks and stone paths leading to the most picturesque corners of the garden. In a secluded and panoramic position is the splendid private swimming pool, framed by vegetation and overlooking the landscape. Within the estate there is also an independent rural farmhouse of about 300 square metres on two levels. The ground floor retains the original stables and warehouses, while the upper floor – currently used as the caretaker's residence – retains authentic elements of the Umbrian-Tuscan farmhouse and offers ample possibilities for conversion into an annex or independent accommodation facility. The property has oil-fired heating, with provision for connection to mains gas. It is in good general condition, except for some finishing touches to be completed on the second floor. Located in an easily accessible yet peaceful setting, this villa represents a rare opportunity for those seeking a charming historic residence in one of the most sought-after areas of central Italy, an hour from Rome, Florence, Perugia, Siena and Arezzo, and in close proximity to medieval villages, nature reserves and spas. Perfect as a private residence or as an investment for a prestigious hospitality business.
