Stone farmhouse with independent guest apartment and pool for sale in Umbria

This restored stone farmhouse for sale is situated in a rural but central location in the gentle hills surrounding Collazzone, with fabulous views, perfect-sized garden and low-chlorine pool (5x10 meters). The house dates back to 1786 and was fully restored in 2002, maintaining the original footprint whilst lifting the ceilings and opening up the internal spaces to create generous, light living areas. The triad of original stone, hand-made terra cotta tiles and chestnut beams provides the classic context for cool living in summer and cosiness in winter. The house is on three floors. The current owners live on the top two floors and have been successfully running the ground floor as a holiday apartment rental for twenty years. (The business-side of things could be passed on to the new owners, if required.) The two parts of the house have independent entrances and are totally self-contained but could be combined to form one large family unit. The self-contained apartment on the ground floor is composed of an open space living/dining room with kitchen corner and fireplace, a hallway, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and storage under the stairs with washing machine. Also on the ground floor is a technical room. The owners' accommodation is composed of a hallway, a living room with fireplace and pellet stove, a fully fitted kitchen with fireplace and pantry, a study, a guest bathroom, a laundry room and a storage room on the first floor. The second floor comprises 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 storage rooms and a walk-in closet. The two level landscaped garden is perfect size: big enough for the pool, a couple of vine-covered pergolas and two outside patios, as well as 25 olive trees that are harvested annually to produce organic olive oil. But not too big to be a full-time, paid-labour requiring endeavour. Of course there are fruit trees and indigenous plants and a large vegetable patch. There is ample parking and there are many great walks and bike rides from the front door.
