Il Vento Farmhouse on Lake Trasimeno

Stone estate with swimming pool and lake views, Castiglione del Lago, Perugia – Umbria

Ref. CDL261

Set amongst the rolling hills overlooking the water, in a secluded spot just a few minutes from Castiglione del Lago, stands a property that immediately captivates with its atmosphere and completeness: an ancient Umbrian stone farmhouse, perfectly restored, with a panoramic swimming pool, well-tended grounds and agricultural land that add character and identity to the landscape.

Here, the feeling is that of a small private estate: leafy avenues, open views towards the lake, and areas dedicated to relaxation and socialising. The garden slopes gently down towards the water and, in addition to the swimming pool, features a play area and a bocce court: simple yet precious details that transform everyday life into an experience and make the property ideal for enjoying country living in style, whatever the season.

The complex comprises two main buildings, both constructed of stone, creating a substantial yet flexible structure. The main farmhouse (approximately 380 square metres in total, including cellars) is spread over two levels and comprises four independent flats, as well as a watchtower that adds character and offers a unique vantage point. The complex is completed by a cellar designed also as a reception area: a tasting room with a fireplace, service rooms and an area dedicated to the storage and ageing of wine.

Adjacent to this, the 180-square-metre annexe, spread over two levels, features a ground-floor flat of approximately 90 square metres with a veranda, whilst the basement, covering a further 90 square metres, is designated as a storeroom: ideal spaces for administration, storage or technical rooms, with the possibility of creating a covered/enclosed parking area in the basement.

The entire complex was renovated after 1997 to meet anti-seismic standards, and the roof was rebuilt and insulated in 2004: features that guarantee solidity and peace of mind for anyone purchasing this historic farmhouse.

The centrepiece of the outdoor area is the 8 x 16-metre swimming pool, set in a panoramic location, featuring a distinctive circular entrance staircase and a whirlpool. Surrounding it, a lawn and well-tended gardens create the atmosphere of a country villa, perfect for relaxation and entertainment.

In addition to the grounds surrounding the buildings, the property comprises approximately 5 hectares of agricultural land divided into three plots, featuring olive groves and a vineyard: a plot a short distance away (approximately 70 metres, not adjoining) with 7,000 square metres of vineyard and 60 olive trees, and further plots comprising 3,000 square metres of vineyard to be restored, 199 olive trees and areas of arable land between the rows. There are three wells for irrigation.

“Casale Il vento sul Trasimeno” is perfect for those seeking a stately residence with guest accommodation, a home for several families, or a property that is already fully developed and ready for use. But, above all, it is a property that conveys something rare: the feeling of a complete, harmonious place, with views, land and authentic architecture — the sort of home that, once seen, leaves a lasting impression.
