Le Case nel Verde

Finely restored 5-bedroom country house with solar and photovoltaic panels, olive grove and orchard for sale in Città della Pieve, Perugia. A cypress-lined avenue leads to this top spot location on the Umbrian border with Tuscany, close to both Lake Trasimeno and Città della Pieve, which has an open view with a spectacular panorama. Villa Santa Lucia is a former stone farmhouse built on two levels, recently renovated and fitted with solar panels, double-glazed wooden windows, mosquito nets, handmade terracotta floors, bathrooms with double stone sinks, and elegant and comfortable modern ware. A spacious open living concept on the ground floor hosts a sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace, a dining area, and a stunning, fully fitted country-style kitchen with travertine countertops and a central island. A home office, a hobby room, a courtesy bathroom, laundry, and storage complete the ground floor. On the second floor, a covered loggia becomes a delightful nook for relaxing, while a spacious living room with bookshelves, double windows, and a cast-iron stove opens to the bedrooms: a generous main bedroom with closets and private bathroom, two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom. The two hectares of land surrounding Villa Santa Lucia consist of an olive grove with 120 plants, an orchard with apricot, cherry, pear, fig, walnut, almond, and plum trees, and a lawn perfect for building an in-ground swimming pool. Once used as a pigsty, the hut has been restored for storage and warehouse use and can be converted into a guest house. A 'Belvedere' deck has been created in the corner of the garden to relax and soak in the infinite view dominating the property and invent excellent outdoor dinners thanks to the characteristic wood-fired oven still in use For more than a century, since the second half of the 1800s, a family of marquises owned it as an agricultural and hunting estate; today is used both as a private residence and as a vacation home to host travelers and tourists. This house is an ideal country residence gateway to relax and for visiting Città della Pieve, San Casciano dei Bagni, Montepulciano, the Unesco Heritage Val d'Orcia, and some of the most beautiful art cities of central Italy, such as Siena, Cortona, Perugia, and Assisi.
