Houses for sale in Umbria, Italy

These lovely houses for sale in Umbria, needing full renovation, lies near the towns of Mercatale and Castel Rigone.

Two attractive L-shaped houses, set on a gentle slope with commanding views towards the east, south and west ... a near panorama. The shape of the houses provides double aspect views from all rooms, of which there are some eight or nine in each house, some of which could be opened up and combined into larger spaces, on the ground floor especially. With the provision of internal archways and external terraces this property could become, open, spacious, light and magical.

The building will be restored as two magnificent country houses, each of some 200sqm and making two very adequate four-bedroomed family homes. Full planning permission has been obtained and the developer now only awaits the design requirements of the new owners.

Only some 15 minutes from Lake Trasimeno, Mercatale, Passignano, Preggio, Castel Rigone, Magione and the motorway, and less than 30 from Cortona, Perugia, Assisi and the local airport, to which, we understand, RyanAir will soon be flying.

888 Osteriolo which is close by, is also for sale if a larger development is required for investment purposes.
