A breathtaking view of the center of Todi and the surrounding hills serves as the backdrop to this stunning stone farmhouse and its panoramic golf course. A spacious garden welcomes the heated pool and an ornamental pond. The land gently slopes down the hill and features a vineyard, approximately 400 olive trees, fir trees, and fruit trees. The main farmhouse is 322 square meters with 5 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms. It has been renovated with attention to traditional materials, such as terracotta tiles, wooden beams, and exposed stone.

At the peak of the land are the two buildings comprising the property, gently descending along the south-facing hill.

The heated pool is located just a few meters from the house, perfectly integrated into the landscape, offering stunning views from this vantage point as well. The entire surrounding area is paved with stone, leading to two ornamental ponds with water lilies and fish, along with a small and charming flower garden.
