Villa for sale in Orvieto, Umbria, Italy

In an enviable position at the foot of the Orvieto cliff, in southern Umbria, a renovated luxury villa for sale. The property (over 600 sqm, now divided into four units) has been masterfully re-structured by the current owners, who have also chosen to equip the property with energy-efficient fixtures and fittings. The 2.9 hectares of land surrounding the villa are home to 100 olive trees and a photovoltaic system, with the possibility of building an 8 ´ 4 m swimming pool
The property is located just 1 km from a supermarket and less than a 15’ walk from the historic center of the town where there are shops, boutiques, bars and restaurants. In addition, Orvieto is located right next to the railway that connects Rome to Florence and therefore allows you to move easily throughout Italy. Many of the most famous historical towns in central Italy (Civita di Bagnoregio, Todi, Bolsena, Pitigliano, Assisi, Perugia, Pienza...) are within easy reach.

Description of the buildings
The villa (608 sqm – 6,542 sqft) is structured on three floors above ground and is divided into various apartments:
- Master apartment (304 sqm, ground and first floor): Living room with dining area, kitchen, three bedrooms with en-suite bathroom, large walk-in wardrobe with two closets/dressing rooms, study and service bathroom;
- Guest apartment A (97 sqm – 1,044 sqft, ground floor): Living room with dining area and kitchenette, two bedrooms with en-suite bathroom;

- Guest apartment C (73 sqm – 783 sqft, second floor): Living room with dining area and kitchenette, service bathroom and bedroom with en-suite bathroom.
The floors of the house are however connected internally by various staircases and one could comfortably use the building as one large private residence.

The building has been completely renovated in recent times (including earthquake-proof consolidation with micropiles), maintaining its original appearance but adding modern details and state-of-the-art installations, including underfloor heating/cooling, modern energy-efficient windows and an alarm system. A 23.1-kWh solar system supplies the house with electricity and enables the production of domestic hot water. Again, with a view to reducing costs, the property is supplied with water from a private natural spring Two underground cisterns allow for water recovery: One collects rainwater, the other water from the spring and the well.

Also part of the property is an old ruined building (80 sqm – 861 sqft) for which a reconstruction permit has been obtained. In addition, a project has been submitted for the conversion of an old agricultural pool into an 8 ´ 4 m swimming pool

exteriors
The villa is surrounded by 2.9 hectares (7.2 acres) of land, planted as a garden in the part surrounding the building and fully irrigated. On the gentle slope in front of the house, some 100 olive trees have been planted which, once they reach maturity, will produce an excellent olive oil. The property is reached by a short stretch of unpaved road (about 300 m in excellent condition) from the communal road.
The position of the farmhouse, just below what the locals call the Anello della Rupe, ensures an incredible view over the valley facing Orvieto, over which dominates the unmistakable silhouette of the dodecagonal tower, part of an imposing abbey complex dating back to the 12th century.
