18th-century stone monastery with former church, renovated with swimming pool, garden, and guest farmhouse for sale with land near Lake Trasimeno. Perched at an altitude of 500 metres above sea level, in a commanding hillside position overlooking the rolling countryside surrounding Lake Trasimeno, this magnificent 18th-century stone monastery has been elegantly restored to offer a residence of rare charm and serenity. Set within 3 hectares (7.4 acres) of private parkland, the property extends to approximately 612 sq m (6,588 sq ft) and includes the main monastery, a former church now transformed into a grand reception hall, a wine cellar carved into the rock, a guest house, landscaped gardens and a panoramic swimming pool. A careful and respectful renovation has revived the spirit of the monastery, blending authentic period features with contemporary comfort. The heart of the residence is the former church, now a majestic 100 sq m (1,076 sq ft) hall crowned by an exposed trussed ceiling soaring over seven metres high. The adjoining ancient crypt, once a place of meditation, has been skilfully converted into a wine cellar, cool and atmospheric, hewn from the natural rock. Throughout the property stone walls, archways, wooden beams, terracotta floors and open fireplaces, create an ambiance of timeless elegance. The ground floor flows naturally between indoor and outdoor living spaces, with French doors opening onto terraces and gardens. It comprises a welcoming sitting room with fireplace, a spacious kitchen, a study, a bathroom and a laundry room. From the grand entrance foyer, a central staircase rises to the first floor, where four comfortable bedrooms and three bathrooms enjoy views over the gardens and the surrounding hills. The terraced garden offers breathtaking panoramic vistas and hosts a swimming pool with sun terrace. A short distance from the main house, a restored guest farmhouse enjoys its own driveway and private garden. Finished in rustic Tuscan-Umbrian style, it offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms and inviting living spaces, ideal for visiting family or as an elegant guest retreat. In a secluded yet convenient location, surrounded by nature but close to shops and local amenities, this beautifully restored historic property represents an opportunity to acquire an authentic piece of Umbrian heritage. Perfect as a refined private residence or as an exclusive hospitality retreat, it embodies the quiet grandeur and enduring beauty of the Italian countryside.
