Full Description
Fully restored church property in a magnificent position overlooking the Pian Di Marte, where Hannibal marched his elephants to battle at Lake Trasimeno. The property is closely connected to the historic Church of San Bartolomeo, a small rural church dating back to medieval times, typical of the Umbrian countryside and known for its simple stone architecture and deep connection to the local agricultural community.
Extensive restoration was carried out about 15 years ago by the current owner using reclaimed or authentic materials to create a special environment, including the 64 square meter church and the ancient crypt cut out of the bedrock, which now makes the perfect wine cellar.
The church is attached to a 235 square meter house with 4 spacious bedrooms, two of which have ensuite facilities. The central entrance hall has an open staircase giving an elegant feel to this unique property. There is a fully fitted kitchen, split-level dining/living room, a study, storage and laundry room.
A short stroll leads down to the pool terrace, where there is a half-circular pool with outstanding views and plenty of terraced areas for relaxing, outdoor dining, and entertaining.
A walk through well-planted, manicured fragrant gardens brings you to the guest house, also fully restored and totally independent, including vehicular access. This too enjoys a stunning position and offers 3 bedrooms, a large 33 square meter living room with access to the front terrace, and a separate kitchen dining area with external access.
A timeless piece of history in the heart of Umbria, with 14 hectares of land including a ruined building of approximately 200 square meters in need of restoration.
