Iconic Country House With Timeless Elegance And Panoramic Views

This charming country house, whose origins date back to the 19th century, enjoys a serene yet easily accessible location between Magione and Perugia, a short distance from Lake Trasimeno. Along the strada bianca (dirt/gravel road), the property is discreetly fenced and accessible via an electrically operated gate with a remote control. Once inside, the mature trees provide pleasant privacy and a peaceful, green setting. Yet the village of Agello, with all its daily amenities, is just a few minutes’ drive away. With a living area of approximately 320 sqm (3444,48 ft²), the country house offers spacious living areas that, thanks to the tasteful interior design, exude a warm and timeless charm. It is in excellent condition and is being sold partially furnished. The roof was completely replaced in 2000, the wooden window frames are single-glazed, and all technical systems function flawlessly. Heating is provided by radiators connected to a heating oil tank. The ground floor features two spacious living rooms, a study, and a spacious, inviting kitchen-dining area—the heart of the home—complete with a cozy fireplace and a large stainless-steel stove with two ovens. The kitchen opens directly onto a covered terrace facing northwest. From here, a sweeping view unfolds over the valley toward Perugia—a particularly pleasant spot in a charming setting, ideal for al fresco dining. The upper floor is accessible from inside the house and also has a separate entrance via the outdoor staircase. Here you’ll find the air-conditioned bedrooms: the spacious master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, a second bedroom, a small sitting area, and an additional bathroom whose shower is equipped with a steam cabin. The layout allows for a relatively simple expansion to four bedrooms. Furthermore, the property is secured with an alarm system and sensors. A septic tank is provided for wastewater disposal, and the estate’s water supply is optimally managed thanks to two private wells, an artesian well, and an installed water softener. There is also an irrigation system. Surrounding the house is a well-maintained garden of 6,360 sqm (1.57 ac), laid out in terraces with various fruit trees. As evening falls, the atmospheric lighting lends a warm and elegant ambiance to the garden and the home. Slightly lower on the property lies the heated, kidney-shaped swimming pool measuring 8 by 4 meters (26,25 by 13,12 feet), which is maintained at a pleasant temperature thanks to a heat pump and has a comfortable, uniform depth of 1.4 meters (4,6 foot). Like the other systems, the pool, heat pump, filter, and pumps are well-maintained and fully operational. Beneath the pool is a jeu-de-boules court. Close to the main house stands an outbuilding of approximately 60 sqm (645,84 ft²), currently used as a garage and small wine cellar. Thanks to the existing utility connections, it also offers the potential to be converted into a guesthouse. The property covers a total of approx. 10 hectares (approx. 25 ac) and consists partly of forest and partly of an olive grove. Some 200 centuries-old olive trees, which still bear fruit in abundance, provide an annual supply of the property’s own olive oil. On the higher part of the property , there is ample space to build a tennis court if desired. The presence of a caretaker and a trusted local team responsible for the daily maintenance of the home and the estate is a special asset and contributes to carefree ownership. The location combines absolute tranquility with an extremely convenient setting. “We love it.” With those simple words, the current owners sum up their connection to this place—a feeling that’s hard to describe, but all the more wonderful to experience.
