Beautifully restored grain mill with guest house and pool near Todi in Umbria - ideal for keeping horses

Nestled in the picturesque landscape south of the medieval town of Todi, this unique property offers a rare combination of tranquil seclusion and easy access to some of Italy's most beloved locations. Accessible via a scenic 1.3 km "strada bianca" (gravel road), the journey to this estate is a gentle drive along an ancient Roman road, bordered by stately cypress trees and historic charm. The road is still part of the "Cammino della Luce" pilgrimage trail, adding an extra layer of cultural significance to this idyllic setting.

For equestrian enthusiasts, this property is a dream come true. The flat terrain around the house is perfect for horses, with open meadows, shady groves, and a creek bordering the grounds. There is ample space for riding, grazing, and the potential to build stables or paddocks, making it ideal for keeping horses or other livestock.

The estate comprises two distinctive residences, each offering its own charm and character. The first is a beautifully restored antique mill, rich with authentic details that transport you back in time. The original stonework, the preserved mill components, and the charming Romanesque arched bridge that leads over a creek to the property give this home a unique historical ambiance. Despite its storied past, the mill has been fully renovated to offer very good living-comforts. It features a spacious living area with a fireplace, a kitchen-dining room, four double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and two bathrooms, with an additional tower room that can be renovated to suit your needs.

The second residence, newly built in a traditional style, exudes a bright, airy feel reminiscent of a loft, with modern comforts and expansive views of the surrounding garden and terraces. This home offers an open-plan living area with fireplace, with a lounge and dining space, a modern kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The covered terrace ("portico") extends the living area outdoors, providing a perfect spot for relaxation or entertaining for much of the year. Part of the building also has a cellar and in this area there is a technical room and a hobby room.

The estate also includes a modern 16 x 7-meter swimming pool, discreetly nestled into the grassy landscape, and is available for use by both houses. With two wells providing drinking water, a solar and PV system for hot water and heating, and a sophisticated security system that can be monitored remotely, this property ensures modern convenience and sustainability.

While this estate offers peace and privacy, it is far from isolated. The bustling center of Todi is only 9 km away, providing easy access to shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Perugia and its airport are a mere 40 km away, while Rome's city center is just 130 km, and its airport is 160 km away.

Whether you are looking for a serene equestrian retreat, a family home, or a unique rental property, this estate offers a perfect blend of historical charm, modern comfort, and connectivity to vibrant Italian towns and cities. Enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful haven for horses and a convenient location close to everything you need.
