Villa Santa Lucia

Finely restored 5-bedroom farmhouse 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, and 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 along with mosquito nets, handmade terracotta floors, bathrooms with double stone sinks, and elegant and comfortable modern ware. On the ground floor a spacious open living concept hosts a sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace, a dining area and a stunning fully fitted country-style kitchen with travertine countertops and 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 master 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 some 50 plants, an orchard with apricot, cherry, pear, fig, walnut, almond and plum trees, and a lawn perfect for building an in-ground swimming pool. The hut, once used as a pigsty, has been restored for storage and warehouse use and can be converted into a guest house. A 'Belvedere' deck has been created in a corner of the garden to relax and soak in the infinite view dominating the property. For more than a century, since the second half of the 1800s, it was owned by a family of marquises as an agricultural and hunting estate; today is used both as a private residence and as a vacation home to host travelers and tourists. 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.
