Property Description:
An unusual opportunity to purchase a medieval tower, c.1300, imposing enough to dominate the valley of the Carpina, with magnificent views of some 35 – 40km towards the Appenine Mountains, but at the same time small enough to be acceptable as a family home with up to 3 - 4 en-suite bedrooms.
The property is attached on two sides by caring friendly neighbours, one English family and one Italian. Useful from the point of friendship and security, to be key holders, and organisers of the hundred-and-one small tasks that neighbours share.
This property has now received local authority approval for its re-restoration, as it was previously restored and enlarged during the mid 1930’s, the Fascist period in Italy, and an outer wall bears evidence of this regime.
Close liaison with the prospective owners will be necessary in order to create an interesting, elegant and outstanding home, using the finest materials in order to recreate a warm and inviting atmosphere with all modern conveniences. A fully priced estimate of costs is available and all the necessary characteristics will be incorporated into a light and elegant design to create, a modern medieval tower.
Situated close to the medieval towns of Umbertide and Montone, both less than ten minutes drive, and Montone enjoys the reputation of being one of Italy’s top ten prettiest medieval walled cities. The E45 motorway between Cesena/ Perugia/ Roma, is some 8 minutes drive to either Umbertide or Promano junctions, the Ryanairport of Asissi/ Perugia is some twenty minutes drive, and the two large lakes of Trasimeno and Montedoglio are both within half an hour.
