Eccezionale Residenza Storica Da Completare E Personalizzare Nelle Dolci Colline DI Spello

Set in the rolling countryside just 1.5 km from the historic centre of Spello, this distinguished country estate combines the character of an original Umbrian farmhouse with the elegance of an 18th-century villa, surrounded by centuries-old oaks, olive groves and panoramic views across the skyline of the village. Protected as a property of historical and cultural interest, the estate enjoys a private and elevated position within approximately 5.7 ha of land.

The property is currently undergoing a comprehensive restoration programme, with all major structural consolidation works already completed together with the installation preparations for the electrical and plumbing systems. The restoration has been conceived with great respect for the architectural identity of the house, preserving and enhancing original materials and period features including wooden beam ceilings, vaulted ceilings, terracotta floors, lime-rendered walls, decorative stucco details and traditional reclaimed roof tiles. The façades retain their elegant proportions with corner pilasters, framed windows and understated classical detailing typical of refined Umbrian country villas.

The main residence develops over several levels with a gross area of approximately 745 m². On the ground floor, the entrance hall with its original staircase and decorative stucco elements leads to a series of generous reception rooms including a large kitchen with fireplace, dining room, formal sitting room, additional lounges, a reading room and a covered portico conceived as a winter garden. A service level connected internally includes utility and storage areas. The first floor opens onto an elegant sitting room with ornate fireplace and distributes three bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom, one also featuring a dressing room, together with a TV room and games room. The upper floor accommodates a spacious bedroom suite with a sitting room and bathroom.

The estate also includes several ancillary buildings and agricultural structures, among them a former animal shelter of approximately 50 m² currently arranged with laundry and bathroom facilities, and a tool storage building of approximately 104 m². In addition, the living area may be extended by a further 100 m², in accordance with regional regulations.

The grounds are one of the defining features of the estate. The property is enclosed by double hedging and mature trees, creating exceptional privacy and a natural setting of remarkable beauty. The certified organic and DOP olive grove comprises approximately 1,500 olive trees, complemented by a fruit orchard with around 30 trees and an avenue of Bolgheri cypresses. Within the estate there are also historic cisterns for rainwater collection and a private authorised well.

The asking price refers to the property in its current state of restoration. A renowned architect together with a qualified multidisciplinary team is overseeing the project, including architectural, structural and engineering design, geological studies, construction supervision, cost management, site safety coordination, final certifications and habitability procedures. Professional fees will be calculated as a percentage of the overall construction costs of the works to be completed.
