The entire property offers interesting potential for restoration, ideal for those who wish to enhance an authentic historic complex, preserving its original charm and reinterpreting it according to contemporary criteria of comfort and efficiency.

External areas

The property enjoys a splendid hillside location, with views of the Umbrian countryside, a 5-minute drive from Bevagna.

The land, which covers 20 hectares, also includes a large olive grove that needs to be restored.

Around the villa and farmhouse there are large flat areas that are suitable for creating gardens, pergolas and even a panoramic swimming pool (subject to obtaining the necessary permits) with views of the hills.

The setting is quiet and secluded, surrounded by nature but easily accessible.

Use and potential uses

Thanks to its hillside location and proximity to Bevagna, one of Umbria's most characteristic and appreciated villages thanks to its authenticity, atmosphere and quality of life, the property offers multiple possibilities for use.

It could become a charming private residence, surrounded by nature but just a few minutes from amenities, or be transformed into a prestigious accommodation facility, enhancing the farmhouse as a guest annex and the villa as the main residence.

Its central location, which allows easy access to the main historical centres of Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio, makes it perfect as an ideal starting point for excursions and day trips to discover Central Italy.

Characteristics: 

Often called the “green heart of Italy,” Umbria enchants national and international buyers with its rolling hills, olive groves, vineyards and timeless medieval towns. Authentic and deeply spiritual, the region is ideal for those seeking privacy, tranquility and a slower pace of life—far from the crowds of mass tourism, yet always close to charming historic centers and cultural treasures.

Umbria is often considered the sister of Tuscany: a green and hilly land rich in vineyards, olive groves and artistic heritage. Perfectly placed in Central Italy, between Rome and Florence, it offers easy access to world-renowned art cities and enchanting medieval towns such as Perugia (home to an important international university), Spoleto, Orvieto, Todi, Assisi and Spello. Just 15 minutes from Perugia lies Lake Trasimeno, the fourth largest lake in Italy after Como, a favorite destination for sailing, outdoor activities and relaxation.

The climate is mild and pleasant all year round, with winters rarely falling below zero and summers averaging around 25°C. Beyond its landscapes, Umbria is also alive with major cultural events such as the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto and Umbria Jazz in Perugia, along with countless local festivals that, especially in summer, bring small villages and historic piazzas to life.

 

Property offer

Here, traditional stone farmhouses—very similar in style to those of neighboring Tuscany, yet often more accessible in price—are among the most requested properties. Many have been carefully restored, with private gardens, panoramic pools and mature parks. Perfect as a private retreat, they are also excellent investment opportunities thanks to the strong demand for luxury holiday rentals.

Umbria enjoys a strategic location: it borders Tuscany, is less than two hours from both Rome and Florence, and offers easy access to major art cities such as Perugia, Assisi, Orvieto, Todi and Spoleto. Beyond farmhouses, buyers are also drawn to historic villas, castles, monasteries and apartments in perfectly preserved medieval towns such as Spello, Trevi and Montefalco.

For those dreaming of a second home in Italy, Umbria combines authenticity, natural beauty, cultural richness and investment potential—making it one of the most appealing destinations for national and international buyers today.
