Chalet Montecastrilli

Casale Cerquotta is a charming historic property located in the heart of Umbria. It is situated in the countryside surrounding the municipality of Montecastrilli (TR), precisely halfway between Montecastrilli and the center of Avigliano Umbro, both 4 km from the farmhouse.

This area is well known for its beautiful nearby historic towns and natural landscapes. Casale Cerquotta is just 20 km from Todi, 28 km from Terni, 35 km from Spoleto, and the stunning Cascate delle Marmore waterfalls are less than half an hour away. Additionally, the beautiful city of Perugia is 70 km away, while Rome is 120 km away, reachable in under 1 hour and 30 minutes.

In short, Casale Cerquotta can be the perfect solution for those seeking a primary or secondary residence, as well as for those wishing to start a tourism business.

The farmhouse, with origins dating back to the 1200s, was completely rebuilt in 2002, fully compliant with the seismic regulations in force at the time. The structure was moved from its original position, but some historic details were preserved by recovering original materials. For example, the main door was restored and reinforced, and the arch above it was recreated using slats from the old stairs. The external stairs were also recovered and restored.

The courtyard surrounding the farmhouse measures 6,000 sqm, is well maintained, and enhanced by 50 productive olive trees. It is fully fenced with anti-hole concrete and equipped with lighting and automatic irrigation connected to the well. There are two wells: one artesian and one Roman that collects rainwater, in addition to the municipal aqueduct.

Two gates are available: one automatic and one service gate for garden maintenance and easy access to the LPG tank. A valuable addition is the regular wooden carport with photovoltaic system preparation.

Casale Cerquotta covers about 356 sqm over two floors, both with direct outdoor access.

On the ground floor, the spacious porch immediately stands out and can potentially be enclosed with glass. From here, one of the entrances leads to the ground floor, which includes:
- Large tavern with travertine fireplace and kitchen
- Two double bedrooms
- Bathroom with crystal shower

The flooring throughout the house is terracotta, reflecting the rustic essence typical of Umbrian farmhouses.

The first floor, accessible via internal or external stairs, consists of:
- Rustic Umbrian kitchen adorned with hand-painted Deruta tiles, with a built-in pantry and access to the panoramic terrace
- Large, bright living room with a fireplace rebuilt using original materials, also with terrace access
- Elegant bathroom with bathtub
- Three double bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom with shower and fireplace preparation

Heating is provided by GPL radiators, fireplaces, and air conditioning units for both heating and cooling. The heating systems are divided between the two floors for complete autonomy, with the first floor further separating the living area from the sleeping area.

The farmhouse faces south. A swimming pool can be built, and notably, no pesticides or chemicals are used in the surrounding fields—only natural products. The dirt road is communal, with an agreement in place for maintenance by the municipality.

The property is sold partially furnished, including fine details such as wrought iron wall lamps crafted by a local artisan.
