House for sale in Umbria, Italy

This house for sale in Umbria, Italy is a ruined property set in a beautiful and sought-after position overlooking the Pian di Marte, the Plain of Mars, close to Lake Trasimeno, Passignano, Magione, Mercatale and the medieval towns of Castel Rigone and Preggio.

Set to the side of a white road in a gently sloping meadow, offering the possibility of conversion into a fine family home of four or five bedrooms, it lies on two levels. It could also be split into two or three smaller units suitable for living or holiday rentals.

A property of great potential, and a rare opportunity to acquire a structure which stands independently with easy access to the provincial road and a short drive from the Florence–Perugia motorway. There are very few properties available for restoration in this area, of manageable size. Its location, with views over 180 degrees of pine trees, a medieval tower, a church and Castel Rigone in the distance make it a very desirable proposition.

The nominal size of the ruin is 300 square metres, but the local authority will grant an additional 100 square metres when the property is rebuilt. Double glazing, underfloor central heating, solid chestnut doors and windows, and full landscaping, including a swimming pool, are included in the final brief.

The agents are offering a fixed-price contract for the restoration of this property with payments to be made over a 24-month period; they will be happy to show you round their finished building projects as a benchmark for the quality of finish, materials and content.
