Umbria, Perugia, Perugia, Italy

Authentic farmhouse, surrounded by nature in Città della Pieve, Perugia – Umbria RIF CDP112 Just a stone’s throw from the historic centre of Città della Pieve — the town of Perugino, nestled on the ridge between Umbria and Tuscany — stands a farmhouse bearing a date carved into the stone: 1848. Not the date of just any building, but the year in which a natural spring of drinking water began to quench the thirst of this farmstead, and which still flows today, untouched, as the property’s own spring. A detail that says it all about the character of this place: here, time does not erase, but confirms. The farmhouse features an exposed brick façade of immediate authenticity, spanning two storeys with a total area of approximately 238 square metres, and interiors that have survived the nineteenth century without losing their identity: exposed wooden beams, terracotta floor tiles, generous proportions and multiple entrances that offer a variety of ways to enjoy the space. The location offers panoramic views, overlooking the Umbrian valley through large arched windows that flood the interior with light and open up the view towards the hills. A characteristic external loggia houses a natural, cool sandstone grotto — ideal as a cellar for food and wine — a feature of rare charm that is hard to find elsewhere. Rounding off the picture: a detached annexe with a small flat and views over the valley, a laundry room in the basement, and an outdoor living area with a barbecue and wood-fired oven. The well-maintained plot of around two hectares, cultivated with some 30 olive trees in production, surrounds the house in a lush, productive embrace. The property has been recently renovated and is in excellent condition, ready to welcome anyone seeking an authentic historic home just a stone’s throw from village life, without sacrificing peace and quiet and the countryside.
