Description
In the hills of Umbria, not far from Orvieto, 47.7-ha estate with rustic farmhouse for sale. The buildings (1,247 sqm) are in good structural condition but need modernization work: the main house could be divided into two independent apartments with some work. The property includes an Orvieto DOC vineyard (15.9 ha) and some olive trees.
A short dirt road (about 550 m) leads directly to the paved road, and necessary services are available within a five-minute drive. Well-known art cities such as Orvieto, Bolsena, Chiusi, Montepulciano, and Pienza can be reached in less than an hour's drive.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The farmhouse (617 sqm – 6,638 sqft, 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) is a rustic building on two floors, partially renovated in 2010 with re-roofing. On the ground floor are large storerooms and cellars, as well as the living area of the main apartment (274 sqm) consisting of kitchen, living room and reading room. Going up to the second floor from the internal staircase, one reaches the sleeping area of the master apartment consisting of five bedrooms (one of them with exit to a private terrace) and two bathrooms. From the external staircase, on the other hand, one reaches a small terrace with two doors leading to two separate storerooms: in the larger of the two (81 sqm), already equipped with a bathroom, a second apartment could be created.
The farmhouse is surrounded by a garden of 6,200 sqm that could accommodate a swimming pool.
A short distance from the house there is then an old barn (194 sqm – 2,087 sqft) that could be renovated and converted into a charming guest house.
Completing the property are two storages (331 sqm – 3,561 sqft), very suitable for sheltering tools and vehicles, a shed (101 sqm – 1,087 sqft) and a technical room (4 sqm – 43 sqft) for facilities.
EXTERIOR
The property stretches in a single body for about 47.7 hectares (117.9 acres) on the hills of Umbria. In addition to the garden, the farm boasts an Orvieto DOC vineyard (15.9 ha) that could be exploited by creating a wine cellar in the outbuildings of the property. Under the farmhouse there are then some olive trees (about 5,200 sqm) that allow to produce a small amount of oil for private use.
In addition to the vineyard, the farm has large areas of arable land (about 20.6 ha) that could be used to plant additional vineyards, olive trees or crops typical of the area for an additional source of income. Completing the property are several plots of woodland (10.0 ha) that divide the various fields and the property from its neighbors.
