Property description:
A casa padronale, a landowner’s house, with internal stairs and
an external coat of arms showing a bull’s head, attached on one
side to a brick built late medieval tower and on the other side to a casa
colonica with external stairway and large internal fireplace. Across the
courtyard a very large two/three storey barn completes this group of properties.
Tiled floors, chestnut beams, old woodwork, stone walls, arches and all
the details, which, when combined, will create beautiful homes, in certainly
one of the most attractive, original, and architecturally interesting
selection of buildings in this area.
Close to the highly acclaimed ancient walled town of Montone, one of Italy’s
ten most beautiful, and only twelve minutes drive from the bustling city
of Umbertide, all the properties enjoy outstanding and extensive views
over open countryside. Perugia, and its airport and the E45 motorway are
within easy reach. Rome, Firenze, Verona, Bologna and the Adriatic sea
coast are just 2 hours drive away, as are the Ryanair airports of Forlí
and Ancona. Ten medieval cities, three golf courses, several riding schools
and stables; and for light aircraft, clubs and landing strips; are all
within easy reach.
This hamlet is gradually being transformed into some six or eight individual
properties. The project is underway adjacent field has been partly turned
into private gardens, fully planted, maintained and equipped with watering
systems, and work is in progress on a communal swimming poo, shaded drives,
individual access, and private garages which will awaken this sleeping
beauty and transform it into a very elegant and sought after community.
A management committee, owned by the residents, will be formed to undertake
maintenance, and also letting, if required. The proximity of sharing,
caring neighbours could provide companionship, interest and assistance
for those times when it may be needed, someone to hold the keys, order
the gas, welcome guests and generally share the reasons why the prospective
final purchasers have chosen this part of green Umbria.
As it is becoming increasingly difficult to find reasonable sized houses
in attractive locations this group of houses is being offered as one of
the first hamlets to be fully converted to a northern European requirement.
The first units are now approaching a shell stage, with finished floors,
walls and roofs, and are available in the following sizes and prices;
Unit A 75 sqmt, with some 500 sqmt of garden, price E 245.000
Unit B 130 sqmt, with some 500 sqmt of garden, price E - SOLD
