Features and description

Nestled in the peace and quiet of the Umbrian hills, in a charming natural setting in the area of Giove, this characterful stone farmhouse represents the ideal retreat for those wishing to rediscover the pleasure of country living, without giving up the comfort of a modern home that is ready to move into.

The property, completely renovated in 2022 from both a structural and aesthetic point of view, preserves intact the authentic character of traditional Umbrian rural architecture. Exposed stonework, ceilings with wooden beams and terracotta tiles, and the other features of tradition blend harmoniously with new systems, carefully selected finishes and tastefully furnished rooms.

The farmhouse is arranged over two levels for a total surface area of approximately 235 sqm. On the ground floor, through a large porch, you enter a welcoming dining room, connected to a beautiful eat-in kitchen with fireplace: A warm and convivial space, perfect for enjoying the home in every season.

On the same level there is a spacious bedroom, currently usable as an additional sleeping area but easily convertible, according to your needs, into a private gym. In the hallway leading to the internal staircase it is also possible to create a small wellness area with sauna, as shown in the design renderings. A bathroom with laundry area completes the floor.

The first floor, reached both by the internal spiral staircase and by a convenient external staircase, hosts a large living room with fireplace. From here there is access to a splendid panoramic terrace of about 30 sqm, one of the most evocative corners of the property, ideal for dining outdoors, entertaining friends or simply admiring the landscape.

The sleeping area includes a large master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and wardrobe. The floor is completed by a guest bedroom with independent entrance, private bathroom and a characteristic gallery, arranged to comfortably accommodate even a family of four. The particular layout of the spaces ensures privacy for guests and also offers interesting possibilities for hospitality use.

The interiors are enhanced by parquet floors, quality finishes and ceilings with exposed beams, joists and terracotta tiles. All rooms are in excellent condition, carefully furnished and immediately ready to be lived in.

Outside, the property is surrounded by approximately 13,000 sqm of land, comprising an exclusive garden, a large and well-kept vegetable garden, a small woodland and open land. Numerous trees enrich the landscape, including about 100 olive trees and several fruit trees. The dominant position offers a wonderful panoramic view over the surrounding hills and provides the possibility to build a swimming pool, creating an even more enjoyable space for the warm season.

The property is completed by a recently built annex, usable as a tool shed or garage, and several outdoor parking spaces.

The farmhouse is connected to the municipal water supply and the national electricity grid. Heating is powered by lpg, while a solar system provides hot water production. The electrical and plumbing systems were completely renewed in 2022.

An authentic and welcoming home, ready to be enjoyed, where the charm of Umbrian tradition meets contemporary comfort, surrounded by nature, silence and views capable of inspiring emotion every day.

State Of Repair

Privacy, refinement and quality are immediately apparent in the finishes of this farmhouse, where the restoration has enhanced authentic materials and a contemporary reading of the spaces. The overall condition is excellent, with well-kept, well-finished rooms ready for use, supported by an aesthetic language that combines rural tradition and modern taste.

The interior finishes show a consistent, high-level selection: Parquet flooring in the living areas and bedrooms, large light-toned gres surfaces in the transitional areas, plastered and painted walls in neutral shades, as well as sections of exposed stone and brick that add depth and character to the interiors. Ceilings with wooden beams and terracotta tiles, together with the brick arches, create a warm and architecturally legible whole, while the glass and wood inserts lighten the material palette with a more contemporary note.

The condition of the internal masonry is good, with regular plasterwork, uniform paintwork and well-maintained surfaces that convey a sense of order and solidity. The restrained, bright wall colors balance the exposed structural elements, creating a visual continuity that enhances the volume of the spaces. The quality of the restoration is also evident in the precision of the joints, the cleanliness of the finishes and the consistency between ancient elements and more recent details.

The kitchen is in excellent condition, with bespoke cabinetry, a central island, light worktops and integrated solutions that combine functionality and visual impact. The finishes are carefully balanced, the work surfaces harmonize with the setting, and the overall effect conveys a sense of easy, orderly use. The bathrooms are finished with contemporary taste, fitted with modern sanitary ware and fixtures, quality ceramic surfaces and details that maintain an elegant relationship between comfort and natural materials.

The windows and external doors demonstrate good craftsmanship: The wooden frames are in keeping with the character of the property, with regular openings and carefully finished closures, while the selected shutters and internal wooden doors contribute to an overall impression of solidity and stylistic continuity. Light filters pleasantly through the wooden frames, strengthening the dialogue between interior and exterior.

The floors are well preserved and differentiated according to the function of the rooms, with warm, tactile surfaces in the living areas and bedrooms, and more technical finishes in the service areas. The walls retain an excellent level of definition, with regular plasterwork and fresh paint, while the exposed stone and brickwork adds an authentic and refined dimension. The result is an elegant, solid and highly livable property.

The foundations and roof express a reliable structural arrangement, with restored load-bearing walls and a roof of traditional terracotta tiles well integrated into the overall design. The chimneys, roof slopes and the general condition of the roof confirm careful maintenance, while the neatly positioned technical elements preserve the architectural profile. The overall impression is of a well-cared-for structure, with a good balance between historical preservation and functionality.

Outside, the garden and surrounding areas are finished with a sober style consistent with the house: Orderly spaces, practical pathways, terracotta paving and natural surfaces well integrated into the setting. The portico and covered veranda offer true outdoor living spaces, with brick columns, exposed wooden beams, warm flooring and stone and brick details that define a welcoming and representative setting. There is no swimming pool, leaving the greenery and open spaces to play a central role in everyday outdoor living.

Overall, you will find a high-quality farmhouse, with modern finishes interpreted within a classic rural setting, good preservation and a restoration that has successfully enhanced materials, proportions and atmosphere with balance and restraint.

Utilities

You will find a complete and well-organized systems package, with services designed to support efficient daily management and comfortable use of the spaces. The electrical system, built from scratch in 2022, offers a recent and functional technical foundation, with an orderly distribution of lighting points and equipment consistent with the renovation. The plumbing system, carried out in the same works, also presents modern standards and good overall efficiency, together with a drainage network designed according to functional criteria; the sewer system is older, an element that encourages further checks in the event of future works.

Heating is provided by a gpl-powered system, integrated with radiators distributed throughout the various rooms, a practical and widely used solution for rural properties. Domestic hot water is produced through a solar system, a feature that adds efficiency to thermal management and helps contain consumption. Summer cooling is provided with essential features, while the presence of an indoor sauna introduces an element of technical well-being and prestige, perfectly in keeping with the material language of the house.

On the connectivity front, you have access to the national electricity grid, the municipal water supply and a systems layout consistent with a home ready to be lived in. Internet connectivity and TV connection can be easily arranged according to usage needs, thanks to the orderly configuration of the spaces and the presence of openings and technical passages already well distributed. There is also a video intercom, an alarm system, no elevator as the layout develops independently over several levels, and interior spaces served by a spiral staircase of strong architectural character.

The house offers very interesting support services for everyday living: The laundry area is integrated into the service spaces, the covered portico and the outdoor areas that can be equipped expand the possibilities of use, while the recent outbuilding that can be used as a garage or storage adds to the overall functionality. For internal mobility, the main rooms are arranged with a fluid distribution; services for people with specific needs are mainly ensured by the rational layout of the surfaces and the presence of access to the upper floor also from the outside. Completing the picture is an outdoor setup that includes parking spaces, lighting system and technical areas well integrated into the context.
