Property description:
One quarter of a large two/three storey barn now fully rebuilt to the highest standards. When fully finished with tiled floors, chestnut beams and windows, old stone walls, under-floor central heating, double glazing etc and all the details, which, when combined, will create a beautiful home in certainly one of the most attractive, original, and architecturally interesting selection of buildings in this area.
Close to the highly acclaimed ancient walled town of Montone; one of Italy’s ten most beautiful; and only twelve minutes drive from the bustling city of Umbertide, and fifteen minutes from Citta’ di Castello. The property enjoys outstanding and extensive views over open countryside. Perugia, and its Ryanair airport and the E45 motorway are within easy reach some 30 minutes. Rome, Firenze, Verona, Bologna and the Adriatic sea coast are just 2 hours drive away, as are the Ryanair airports of Forlí and Ancona. Ten medieval cities, three golf courses, several riding schools and stables, two large lakes; and for light aircraft, clubs and landing strips; are all within easy reach. Restaurants, bars and cafes without number, good food, excellent wines and friendly natives all combine to create this wonderful area.
This hamlet is gradually being transformed into some eight individual properties, three of which are now sold. The project is underway and an adjacent field has been turned into private gardens, fully planted, maintained and equipped with watering systems, and work is in progress on a communal swimming pool, shaded terraces, drives, individual access, and private garages which is awakening this sleeping beauty and transforming it into an elegant and sought-after community. A management committee, owned by the residents, will be formed to undertake maintenance, and also letting, if required. The proximity of sharing, caring neighbours could provide companionship, interest and assistance for those times when it may be needed, someone to hold the keys, order the gas, welcome guests and generally share the reasons why the prospective final purchasers have chosen this part of green Umbria.
As it is becoming increasingly difficult to find reasonably sized houses in attractive locations in the Upper Tiber Valley of Umbria, this group of houses is being offered as one of the first hamlets to be fully converted to a northern European requirement. The first three units are now sold, and four are in a shell stage, with finished floors, walls and roofs.
If you are looking for a magnificent building, constructed to the highest standards, in the classical and traditional style by the oldest established designers/architects in the Upper Tiber Valley, (since 1983), in an elegant setting, in the heart of understated Umbria, then one of these buildings may be what you are seeking, but haven’t yet found. All the real or imagined problems of budgeting, planning, design, supervision and construction are being controlled and settled well in advance of your purchase. A complete worry-free package, key in hand, coffee on the hob, and the high, and increasing cost of houses in this area will ensure the protection of your investment.
