Maison Rurale à Todi

A short distance from Todi, in an enchanting setting, this wonderful property of about 850 sqm combines the sacred and the profane, surrounded by approximately 4 hectares of land.
Description:
The main entrance, connected to the ancient Benedictine church that houses an original fresco dedicated to the most important saint known in Umbria so far, and today transformed into an art gallery, immediately warms the environment with a majestic stone fireplace, a staircase leading to the upper floor rooms, and an archway directing to the large reception hall. The abbey was built in the 13th century, skillfully renovated in various phases up to 2014, and develops over three levels with entrances on each floor, including the beautiful inner courtyard paved in stone within its walls. There are three large living areas with fireplaces, one used as a restaurant room next to the kitchen with saloon doors, and the other two on the first floor. An additional 8 luxuriously furnished bedrooms, each with a dedicated boiler and bathroom, a full dwelling on the basement floor currently inhabited by the owner, and a roughly 200 sqm annex with autonomous heating located just above, complete the property.
External Spaces:
Surrounded by about 4 hectares of land, including 2.5 hectares of certified olive grove, as well as the lush garden and a 12-meter pool, there is a tennis court and a second outdoor stone tank with statues. On opposite sides of the abbey, there is a large terrace on the first floor and a veranda on the ground floor. The internal courtyard, enclosed by a wrought iron gate, can serve as a secondary entrance. There is also a tool shed and a boiler room.
Status and Finishes:
Renovations carried out over the years are of absolute high quality, and the windows have been replaced with double-glazed units to improve insulation. The pool and part of the garden require minimal restoration work. The municipal aqueduct and the cistern supply water, and heating is provided by LPG.
Potential Uses:
This is the house of dreams for anyone wishing to live within a wonderful historical context without sacrificing modern comforts, but it is also suitable as an investment for those wanting to create a high-quality hospitality structure.
Location:
The property is located just a few kilometers from the historic center of Todi and is well connected to Umbrian and Tuscan towns such as Città della Pieve, Castiglione del Lago, and Cortona. Perugia, the regional capital, is easily reachable in less than an hour by car.
