The secret charm of the 1800s: exclusive farmhouse with park and pool in Latera

In the heart of Upper Tuscia in the province of Viterbo, just a short distance from Lake Bolsena and the Tuscan border—more precisely in Latera—Engel & Völkers is pleased to offer for sale a highly elegant 19th-century farmhouse where unspoiled nature blends with the peace of the countryside, creating an atmosphere in which time seems to have stood still. This property embodies the very essence of the village that hosts it, whose name in fact derives from the Latin latere, meaning literally “to hide” or “to conceal”; and it is precisely here, sheltered by lush vegetation, that this perfect retreat is discovered—ideal for those seeking privacy and absolute relaxation far from the city bustle.

Passing through the entrance gate, we are welcomed by the farmhouse, which opens onto a refined living room meticulously finished, where natural light filtering through the large windows brings a deep sense of serenity in every season, while a first stone fireplace invites the warmth of the winter months. Adjacent to the main lounge are a second large lounge and a comfortable dining room, enhanced by a majestic fireplace that creates the ideal setting for convivial formal dinners, as well as a warm and welcoming eat-in kitchen, perfect for lovers of the culinary arts. Returning through the lounge, a small corridor leads to a study furnished with refined wood finishes: an ideal space for work or reading; it also includes a guest bathroom. Exiting the study via a wooden staircase, you reach the large lower-floor lounge, a level characterized by a wide French door that floods the space with light, offering direct access to the garden, and by a second kitchen equipped with a wood-fired oven, ideal for private events and evenings with friends.

Going up from the ground floor via an elegant staircase, you reach the upper floor, where there is a second, charming study, enhanced by an additional fireplace and a panoramic window overlooking the valley. A refined English-style door leads into the sleeping area, a private section that hosts three spacious double bedrooms served by a dedicated bathroom, and a single bedroom with en-suite bathroom, perfect for guests. Completing the perfect functionality and value of this prestigious residence, the property features a convenient, spacious garage and a modern photovoltaic panel system, ensuring excellent energy efficiency, a drastic reduction in operating costs, and full sustainability in complete respect for the surrounding environment. The truly magical element that enhances the property is its immense park of about eight hectares, a masterfully planted garden where tall trees and seasonal blooms create a bucolic, enveloping atmosphere, complemented by a splendid swimming pool set in the greenery—an ideal oasis for summer relaxation and family leisure time.

Choosing this property means embracing an exclusive lifestyle, where the timeless charm of history harmoniously meets modernity and contemporary comfort. This residence represents a rare opportunity for those seeking maximum privacy and total immersion in nature, thanks to an immense park—a true refuge for the whole family. The extraordinary versatility of the interior spaces, distributed among multiple lounges, double studies ideal for work, and two kitchens, makes the property perfect both as a prestigious representative residence for welcoming guests and celebrating private events, and as a warm, welcoming everyday nest. All of this is enhanced by a strategic and evocative geographical position which, while ensuring restorative seclusion, allows you to reach within minutes the beauty of Lake Bolsena and the timeless charm of the nearby Tuscan villages, offering a perfect balance of tranquility, convenience, and prestige.
