Il Casale della Scienza, literally nestled among the hills separating Perugia from Gubbio, is the ideal retreat for those seeking a slow, quiet lifestyle fully immersed in nature. The view opens to a breathtaking 360° panorama of rolling hills with woodlands, traditional Umbrian farmhouses, and rural terraces. Here, time seems to stand still, returning to an ancient and authentic way of life. The farmhouse of approximately 390 sqm is fully renovated, arranged over two levels; its spacious, welcoming rooms and multiple entrances allow for fluid and harmonious living far from the chaos. The property is completed by a manicured garden of about 1,600 sqm, over 36 hectares of land, a panoramic basin convertible into a bio pool, and 3 irrigation ponds.
The property is set in a commanding and panoramic position in the heart of Umbria, between Perugia and Gubbio, and is accessed via a private unpaved road of just 800 mt, ensuring privacy and tranquillity. The historic farmhouse, dating back to the 1700s, opens onto an extraordinary 360-degree view embracing rolling hills, woodlands and an endless horizon, offering a natural setting of rare beauty in every season.
The building is arranged over two levels with a total surface area of approximately 390 mq and fully retains the charm of traditional Umbrian rural architecture, with exposed natural stone walls and spacious, light-filled interiors. The internal layout is well balanced and includes a large living room with a traditional fireplace, now replaced by an efficient wood-burning stove, a dining room, five bedrooms and four bathrooms, two kitchens and a study. Although the structure has been reinforced with modern interventions, the interiors have been deliberately kept simple, giving the property a distinctive character that leaves visitors pleasantly surprised and enchanted. Given the level of renovation, the farmhouse today offers ample scope for customization according to the future owner’s needs, while also being immediately habitable, as it is connected to all utilities.
The property is completed by over 36 hectares of woodland, a private terraced garden arranged on three levels overlooking a breathtaking panorama, an additional outbuilding of approximately 22 mq easily convertible into a guest annex, a concrete water collection basin which, with a change of intended use, could become a striking panoramic bio pool, and three small lakes used for irrigation purposes.

Thanks to the generous size of the building, the extensive land, and the panoramic position, Casale della Scienza lends itself to multiple uses. It is ideal as a prestigious private residence for those wishing to live immersed in nature, as well as a charming hospitality property, agriturismo, or high-end holiday home. In fact, the two ground-floor bedrooms, both served by their own bathrooms and featuring independent access, have been used as a B&B by the current owners.
The 22 sqm annex located on the terrace that separates the farmhouse from the swimming pool, already prepared for an internal bathroom, can easily be converted into a guest dependance, gym, studio, or pool house.
The property is located in a quiet and private area in the hills of Gubbio, within a setting of great prestige and historic charm in the heart of Umbria. Access is easy and surrounded by greenery, far from noise and traffic, with the main transport routes approximately 11 km away.

Francesco d’Assisi” is just 30 minutes away.
