Timeless Umbrian home near Antognolla Golf Club with olive trees and truffle grove

This remarkable former 11th-century church and adjoining farmhouse for sale is set within ca. 3.77 ha of private grounds in the gently rolling hills just north of Perugia, offering an extraordinary combination of history, character, and comfort.

The property has undergone a complete renovation, preserving the original architecture while incorporating high-quality finishes throughout, creating an elegant yet comfortable home. Stone walls, exposed beams, and terra cotta floors accentuate the character of both buildings, while modern amenities ensure practical, refined living.

The farmhouse extends over ca. 340 m² and includes eight bedrooms—six doubles, five of which are en-suite, and two singles—alongside an inviting sitting room with wood-burning stove on the first floor. The layout offers flexibility and privacy: the master bedroom features a fireplace, en-suite shower, and a private terrace accessed via an external staircase, while other rooms are thoughtfully arranged across both floors, with several enjoying their own terraces. All bedrooms have air-conditioning. All bathrooms reflect a consistent standard of understated luxury and are integrated harmoniously with the period architecture. The farmhouse also includes a practical laundry room and technical room on the ground floor.

The former chapel, measuring ca. 134 m², houses a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room with AC and wood-burning stove, and a spacious living room that retains a recently discovered small crypt. Large windows frame views of the surrounding countryside, and the interiors provide a tranquil setting suitable for entertaining or quiet relaxation. Doors lead from the dining area to a shaded terrace complete with a barbecue, perfect for alfresco meals.

The estate’s outdoor spaces are equally impressive. A cypress-lined avenue leads to a generous pool area with a wisteria-covered pergola, outdoor shower, and pool house with facilities. The gardens are meticulously maintained, surrounding the buildings with lawns, olive trees, vegetable plots, an orchard, and fields that include some 1,000 truffle trees. A small stream borders part of the property, adding to the serene ambiance.

Panoramic views extend to Monte Tezio, Monte Subasio, and Assisi to the south, with the castle at Antognolla, with its Robert Trent Jones Jr. eighteen-holes golf course, visible to the west and the wooded Apennine hills to the north. Access is via a gravel road, providing easy connections while maintaining a sense of secluded privacy.
