This period dwelling stands in an enchanting landscape, ideal for those in search of tranquillity, authenticity and character. The dominant position gives the property an idyllic view of the Valfabbrica lake shores that meander through the unspoilt hills, where the only architectural element is the medieval castle of Biscina. We are in the surroundings of Gubbio, on the valley of river Chiascio at about 5km from the facilities of Casacastalda, medieval village along Saint Francis' trail.
The property on 7 ha of woods and meadows, is the result of a state-of-art renovation from an ancient rural hamlet and consists on: 2 level farmhouse, independent dépendance, a swimming pool created from an ancient trough and a fountain, also salvaged. All of this is surrounded by an enchanting garden of splendid flowering bushes, 200 olive trees and 10 fruit trees that fits harmoniously into the gentle slope of the land: pergolas and gazebos, connected by stone paths and steps, offer corners for conviviality, contemplation and privacy, as well as a Greek-inspired open-air theatre.
The farmhouse (about 550 sq mt) represents a skillful rule-of-art restoration of an Umbrian antique farm, respecting its historical features, such as the longitudinal plan and external stairs. The interiors have been realized with the same criteria: exposed stone walls, contrasting with smooth surfaces in coccio pesto and wooden truss ceilings with exposed beams.
Much of the property will be delivered finished, divided into two independent flats: on the ground floor (A on the floor plan), 1 bedroom flat with a large living room with double exposure, kitchen with fireplace, shower room and two equipped outdoor areas; on the 1st floor (C), a two bedroom flat with a fabulous bright open-space and double exposure living room, an open handcrafted kitchen, dining area with fireplace. Each window gives an exciting view of the landscape, a natural picture for each room. A fabulous relaxation area with jacuzzi and guest bathroom (B) opens onto the garden, where an antique fountain transformed in an outdoor tub overlooks the lake.
The rest of the building shall be sold in shell finish, giving the purchaser the possibility of moulding it to his own requirements: a large room (D) of great character at garden level , next to a storage room (C); on the upper floor (F) immense spaces also with double exposure and splendid views to be planned and finished as wished.
