The Two Farmhouses Estate

Organic agritourism estate with two farmhouses totalling 1,000 sqm, panoramic pool, 800-tree olive grove, natural spring and 11 hectares with an irrigation lake

Ref. PER468

A few kilometres from Umbertide, on a hill overlooking the Umbrian valley, The Two Farmhouses Estate reveals itself slowly between the silver leaves of the olive trees and the dark outlines of the cypresses. Two independent farmhouses of around 1,000 sqm in total, a pool that opens onto the landscape, an organic olive grove of 800 trees, a natural spring and a private lake share some 11 hectares of land where the countryside still moves at its own unhurried pace. Already set up for hospitality with organic agritourism licences, the estate is ready to take up that calling again, or to become the home of a large family or a group of friends in love with rural life.

The main farmhouse

The main farmhouse, of more than 600 sqm, unfolds over several levels with a generous, adaptable layout. On the ground floor the double living room with fireplace, overlooked by a mezzanine, is the heart of the house on winter evenings, while the large masonry kitchen with dining area opens straight onto the portico, where the afternoon light falls warm and low. This level also holds a double bedroom with bathroom, a second rustic kitchen, a study, another bathroom and a storeroom used as a garage. Upstairs are a mezzanine area with study, the master bedroom with private bathroom and a further room, while an unfinished attic of about 80 sqm is waiting to become two more bedrooms. An independent two-level apartment with mezzanine gives guests their own privacy. In the lower ground floor, 145 sqm of storerooms and cellars lend themselves to farm storage or to a small private olive mill. The farmhouse has a 12 kW photovoltaic system.

The second farmhouse

A little further uphill, the second building of around 400 sqm looks down over the valley and is currently arranged as six one-bedroom apartments, three on the ground floor and three above. With modest works the two levels can be brought together into two spacious independent apartments. One of the ground-floor rooms once served as a restaurant, a role it could easily take on again.

The pool, the park and the water

Between the two farmhouses the pool looks out over the valley below, paired with a stone outbuilding with rustic kitchen, outdoor barbecue and changing room, made for long summer days spent outdoors. All around, a park of oaks, cypresses and native species wraps the whole property. The olive grove in full production, with 800 trees of several varieties, has drip irrigation, while the arable fields are watered from a private lake. A natural spring completes the estate's wealth of water, a rare asset that brings independence and has always been part of life on this land.

Location

The estate lies a few kilometres from Umbertide, in the green heart of Umbria, within easy reach of the region's main art towns and the Tuscan border. Perugia airport is about 40 km away.
