Restored 16th century church, vicarage and stone farmhouse in a beautiful setting just north of Lake Trasimeno

Set high above the rolling Pian di Marte, just north of Lake Trasimeno, this remarkable property offers a rare blend of deep history, privacy, and timeless Umbrian landscape. Surrounded by approx. 3 ha of land with sweeping views and complete tranquility, the estate includes a beautifully restored 16th-century church with its original crypt, a spacious main residence, and a fully independent guesthouse—each crafted with care to preserve the soul of the past while adding modern comfort.

Restoration was carried out with precision and restraint, using reclaimed materials and traditional finishes that highlight the architecture’s original character—terracotta floors, ancient stone walls, hand-carved woodwork, vaulted ceilings, and open fireplaces create an atmosphere of quiet elegance.

The church, with its soaring 7 m beamed ceilings, now serves as a dramatic reception room and connects directly to the main house. Beneath it, the ancient crypt carved into the bedrock has become an atmospheric wine cellar.
The main residence includes a grand entrance hall with central staircase, a fully equipped kitchen, a split-level dining and living room, a study, and utility areas. Upstairs are four generous bedrooms, two with en-suite baths, all with views across the surrounding hills. French doors open onto terraces and outdoor spaces designed for long meals and quiet evenings.

Just a short walk through aromatic Mediterranean gardens with lavender, rosemary, mulberries, and a small olive grove lies the guesthouse—completely independent with its own driveway and garden. It includes three bedrooms, a spacious 33 m² living room opening onto a panoramic terrace, and a separate kitchen and dining area with access to the garden. The two homes currently share the half-moon infinity pool (ca. 70 m²), which sits perfectly positioned for sunset views over the hills, though there is ample space to add another.

Additional land, inclusive of several ruins requiring restoration, is available for sale.

In an area steeped in history and natural beauty, this is a property of substance and atmosphere—private, spacious, and ready to live in or share.
