Just 9 km from Todi, this approximately 707 sq m farmhouse offers 11 bedrooms, generous living areas, a swimming pool and over one hectare of land, and is divided into a main residence and a separate wing with independent access. Set in a panoramic and private position, the property requires some upgrading and restoration work and, thanks to its size and flexible layout, is ideally suited to both private residential and hospitality use.

State and finishing
The farmhouse, dating from the early 20th century, underwent a substantial structural renovation some years ago. However, following a prolonged period of disuse, it now requires a number of restoration, completion and modernisation works.

The renovation included the reconstruction in reinforced concrete of the ground-floor, first-floor and attic slabs, together with the entire load-bearing structure of the roof. A new roof covering with antiqued tiles was also installed, along with new chimney stacks and flues, internal flooring and staircases, as well as new internal and external plasterwork and decoration. As part of the renovation, the plumbing, electrical, heating and air-conditioning systems were also renewed, together with the domestic hot-water, TV, Internet and fire-detection systems.

The finishes include Monocibec flooring, Naxos bathroom tiles and wall-hung sanitary ware; the stair treads, window sills and entrance thresholds are in treated travertine, while the first floor features ceramic skirting boards.

The works still required for the restoration, modernisation and completion of the property include replacement of the primary water-supply pipes — while the remainder of the internal distribution network is reported to be intact — as well as the reinstallation of the two condensing boilers and the heat pump required to bring the heating and air-conditioning systems back into operation.

As regards the windows and doors, the external units on the ground floor have already been replaced with PVC frames with double glazing, while those on the first floor have yet to be replaced. The internal doors are currently missing.

External areas
The farmhouse is surrounded by over one hectare (11,353 sq m) of private land, including the footprint of the buildings, in an open and panoramic setting, with far-reaching views across the surrounding Umbrian hills and countryside.

Around the house lies the large garden, with numerous mature and tall trees, including pines, poplars, a lime tree and a horse chestnut, together with hedges and other planting that create more secluded and shaded areas. A particularly attractive feature is the large weeping willow standing in front of the farmhouse.

Set within the garden, slightly away from the main building and well integrated into the surrounding greenery, is the 14 x 8 m swimming pool, with a depth of approximately 1.50 m.

The garden is also equipped with an irrigation system supplied by a rainwater collection tank; some of the external components currently require reinstatement.

Use and potential uses
Thanks to its location, generous proportions and internal layout, the property lends itself to a variety of uses. Its proximity to Todi and its setting among the rolling Umbrian hills, one of the areas most highly regarded by international buyers, make it first and foremost ideal as a main residence or holiday home, with the possibility of accommodating friends and family in an independent section of the property, while ensuring a high degree of privacy.
Once the necessary upgrading and restoration works have been completed, the extensive floor area and the presence of eleven bedrooms would also make it possible to use part of the farmhouse as the owner’s private residence and part for guest accommodation, or, subject to the necessary authorisations, to develop a small hospitality business, such as a B&B or boutique hotel.
The property also represents an interesting opportunity as a holiday home to generate rental income during periods when it is not in personal use. Its location less than 10 km from Todi, the rolling countryside, the generous outdoor spaces and the swimming pool are all features particularly sought after in the holiday rental market, especially by international guests.
