Farmhouse for sale in Castel Rigone, Passignano Sul Trasimeno, Perugia, Umbria, Italy

Reduced from 2,200,000. In the 14th century on this site stood a watch tower that could possibly have witnessed Hannibal's elephants marching through the "Pian di Marte" towards lake Trasimeno to engage in battle. Over the centuries the upper part of the tower would have been dismantled and transformed into a habitation with additions over time to create, albeit accidental, an architecturally interesting farmhouse with varying roof levels each of which have a story to tell.
The current owners painstakingly restored this property using all the original and reclaimed materials to create an authentic rustic feel but with all the requirements of modern living. The arched entrance leading to the 37 square meter eat in lichen with a stone fireplace gives you a great feeling of welcome and warmth as the central hub of this exceptional property.
One can option on 3,4 or even 5 bedrooms depending on requirements. Currently some spaces are used as library and studios but easily converted to bedroom areas. The covered pergola is the perfect outdoor eating space for 14 plus people and the ex lemonia is a light airy reading room of 25 square meters.
Mature gardens with a planted arched walkway to an intimate pergola that takes in the sunset, olive groves, cypress trees and a gravel path to a 14 x 6 swimming pool with a shower room, open fronted lounging area and connections for a sauna. There is a storage area below the pool.
Altogether a perfectly maintained property with great character and a feeling of homely warmth.
