Description
Imagine basking in the sunshine by the pool, looking up to find a castle on your left, another on your right, and a sweeping lake view straight ahead. This fairy-tale panorama frames “Casale Lago e Castelli,” a prestigious property perfect for those who seek the tranquillity and natural beauty of northern Umbria, where rolling green hills are dotted with ancient villages and historic fortresses.
A significant restoration has returned this 346-square-metre farmhouse to its original splendour, preserving the stone walls and details, terracotta floors, wooden beams, and Venetian plaster finishes. A modern touch is introduced by the spacious living areas and an open-plan kitchen with a marble island. Completing the property are an annex and a large traditional stone oven.
State of repair
This farmhouse has undergone a complete renovation, both structurally and in its finishes. Great care was taken to preserve high-quality, traditional materials, including terracotta floors, wooden beams, marble worktops, and exposed stone walls. In certain areas, Venetian plaster has been skillfully applied. Charming stone arches create bright openings between the reception rooms and the kitchen, offering generous living spaces rarely found in a traditional country home. Overall, the property is in excellent condition, while the outbuilding currently registred as storage needs some maintenance work.
Utilities
All utilities and services are fully operational. The property is supplied by an LPG tank for heating and benefits from a municipal water connection. In addition, solar thermal panels have been installed to heat the water, offering both comfort and eco-friendly efficiency.
Use and Potential Uses
“Casale Lago e Castelli” is the ideal choice for those seeking privacy and relaxation, whether as a primary residence or a second home. The property also participates in short-term holiday rentals, making it an excellent investment and a steady source of income during periods when you are not in residence.
Location
“Casale Lago e Castelli” enjoys a rare and privileged setting—having sweeping views of verdant hills, a tranquil lake, and two castles presiding over the surrounding countryside is indeed uncommon. The lake in question is “Lago di Valfabbrica,” bordered by the San Francesco walking trail, where you can stroll in the heart of nature. Natural beauty abounds on the property itself, which also includes a private woodland.
Despite this idyllic seclusion, the nearest village with full amenities is a mere ten-minute drive away, via a well-maintained two-kilometre white road that unfolds onto breathtaking valleys and hills before meeting the tarmac. Gubbio lies just 20 kilometres from the property, and Perugia 35 kilometres, ensuring easy access to one of the region’s main thoroughfares.
