Meticulously Restored Historic Residence With Swimming Pool

In the heart of Umbria, within the village of Castel Rigone, stands this prestigious property. Its origins date back to the 14th century, when the castle tower was donated to a soldier who valiantly defended Perugia. In the centuries that followed, the residence passed to the noble Bichi Ruspoli family-the same family as the nearby Reschio Castle-remaining their property until 2016. A meticulous restoration, lasting over four years and completed in 2023, masterfully blended history and modernity: terracotta floors, exposed beams, and original stone complement each other perfectly with state-of-the-art systems, underfloor heating, and air conditioning.

The building is currently divided into four independent units, ensuring maximum privacy. The portion for sale is the second largest, completely independent, and extends over three levels, with two entrances: one on the ground floor and one served by an elevator. The interiors are spacious, bright, and offer spectacular views of Lake Trasimeno.

The ground floor features a bathroom (ideal for the pool area), a living room with kitchenette, a second living room, and a utility room, perfect as a fitness area, children’s space, or a mini-guest apartment. The mezzanine level includes a study with a panoramic terrace overlooking the garden and pool, offering enchanting views of the lake. The first floor includes a large living area with a kitchen (currently under construction, as shown in the rendering), a dining room, a double living room-one of which features a majestic stone fireplace-and a bedroom with a bathroom. This floor offers access to the internal elevator, as well as a charming spiral staircase created in the medieval tower’s old stairwell. The second floor includes another study, three double bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, and a convenient laundry room. The property includes shared spaces: an internal courtyard, a chapel, a cellar (also ideal as a meeting room) and a comfortable garden with a stone swimming pool (4x10 m).

The hamlet offers a bar, restaurant, and minimarket, and is located just 9 minutes from Passignano sul Trasimeno and 25 minutes from Perugia, with its train station and airport. A unique residence, ready to be personalized and lived in, it invites you to rediscover the charm of a bygone era, where life moves slowly and the hours are marked by the tolling of church bells.
