Elegant farmhouse with pool and view of Deruta

This beautiful farmhouse dating back to 1882 of about 375 sq. m consists of a main building on 3 floors and an adjoining apartment with its own entrance. It was completely renovated in 2017. The entrance to the main building leads us via an interior staircase to the first floor. Here we find a dining room with lounge and 2 original fireplaces, a fully equipped kitchen, a suite with spacious bathroom (walk-in shower) and a double bedroom also with en-suite bathroom. The dining room has a balcony and from the living room there is access to a panoramic terrace (35 sq. m) which is lovely from spring to autumn. A spiral staircase leads to the garden. On the second floor there is a storage room and 2 well-kept suites with spacious ensuite bathrooms (double washbasins, separate toilet and bidet). One bathroom has both a bathtub and shower. All bedrooms overlook the hilly countryside and the picturesque town of Deruta. On the ground floor we find an office, a laundry room, a bathroom, a multipurpose room and a technical room on one side of the staircase. On the other side of the stairs is the apartment with separate entrance of about 125 sq. m. It has underfloor heating and features a kitchen, a spacious living room, a study, a bathroom with separate toilet and walk-in shower and a double bedroom. The electricity supply and heating systems of main house and apartment are completely separate. There is air conditioning on the 1st and 2nd floors. There are mosquito windows everywhere, security window grills, wifi, an alarm system and video cameras. Next to the apartment there is a changing room with toilet on one side; on the other, a tool shed and a garage on which there are photovoltaic panels.

The house with lush garden and swimming pool is located on the slope of a small hill at the edge of the ancient and historically important village of Castello delle Forme, belonging to the municipality of Marsciano in Umbria, the green heart of Italy. From the rooms and the garden you can enjoy stunning views of the Tiber Valley and several surrounding villages and towns, including Deruta, one of the most important ceramics production centres in Italy. The land plot of about 1,900 sq. m is mostly fenced and includes a cosy English-style garden with a variety of plants and trees, including 7 centuries-old olive trees in production. The swimming pool of about 25 sq. m which stands out due to its round shape is bordered by a cosy terrace with barbecue corner and wood oven and a gazebo. Next to the house, a driveway leads to the private car park with 2 covered parking spaces and 3 open-air parking spaces with, behind them, another plot of land suitable for horticulture. In the vicinity of the farmhouse one has numerous amenities, bars, restaurants and wineries. The main places of interest in Umbria and southern Tuscany can be reached in less than an hour by car, including Perugia, Todi, Assisi, Lake Trasimeno, Spello, Spoleto, Orvieto, Gubbio, the Marmore Falls and Cortona. The location is thus very central in Umbria: just a few km from the motorway (superstrada) E45 connecting Perugia to Terni, Orte and the A1. The main airports are easy to reach: Perugia (Sant’Egidio) in 25 minutes, Rome (Fiumicino/Ciampino) in 2 hours, Firenze in 100 minutes.
