Umbrian country estate with annexe, garden and pool in a panoramic south facing location

This carefully renovated Umbrian country estate dates back to the 17th century and is composed of a main country house, an annexe building, a pool and a Mediterranean garden with cypress trees, olive trees, laurel hedges, and lavender and rosemary walkways. The extraordinary unspoiled panoramic south facing location with easy access to several popular towns and landmarks in Umbria makes this property special.

The upper level comprises a second living room with fireplace, which can also be accessed by an external second staircase, three bedrooms with beamed ceilings, a travertine bathroom with tub, and a storage room walk-in closet.
