A stone house, completely rebuilt from scratch, set amidst the tranquillity of the hills, with an olive grove and panoramic views REF. PIE356 There are places where the landscape is not merely a backdrop but a constant presence — something you sense even before you step inside. Casale Ovile is one such place: a stone building entirely rebuilt on the foundations of a building tradition deeply rooted in the Umbrian countryside, set on a farmstead featuring olive trees, private footpaths and an uninterrupted view across the surrounding hills. The restoration work has strictly respected the original character of the rural architecture: the external cladding in local stone, the exposed beams and terracotta tiles that mark the ceilings, and the balanced proportions of the spaces, which are arranged over two levels within a main structure with a slight variation in elevation. The ground floor offers a spacious layout — two bedrooms, three bathrooms, living areas and a kitchen designed with flexibility to accommodate different living requirements or to be divided into independent units; on the first floor, two further bedrooms with their own bathrooms complete a home designed for uncompromising comfort. The interior, deliberately left awaiting final finishing touches, presents itself as a blank canvas open to the buyer’s sensibility: a rare opportunity to live in a place that has already established its character and architectural style, shaping it according to one’s own vision. Surrounding the farmhouse is a plot of approximately 5,000 square metres, featuring an olive grove that runs alongside the private internal access road, with sufficient space for the construction of a swimming pool and the possibility of acquiring adjacent land for those wishing to further expand their property. Access is via a tarmac road with just 300 metres of unpaved track in good condition, which can easily be improved. Utilities — electricity and telephone lines — can be connected easily thanks to the proximity of existing lines.
