Real Estate for Sale in Umbria – Umbertide Hamlet and Fixer Upper Property

This real estate for sale in Umbria is located on the hills above the historic centre of Umbertide, in a private and elevated position with open views. The property is a rural hamlet requiring restoration and comprises over 1,400 m² of buildings, including a 19th-century villa, two farmhouses, agricultural outbuildings, and storerooms. The estate offers significant potential for development, either as a private residence or as a hospitality business.

The main villa (471 m², five bedrooms, two bathrooms) dates back to the 19th century. It is notable for its symmetrical façade with a large arched doorway and interior staircase with original Art Nouveau railings. Inside, the residence retains historic details such as frescoed ceilings, terracotta and graniglia floors, and original cherry wood doors. The second floor includes attics with exposed beams, suitable for conversion into living space.

Adjacent to the villa is Farmhouse Marco (339 m², four bedrooms, one bathroom), originally used for agricultural purposes on the ground floor with the farmer’s accommodation above. Its spacious interiors and ceiling heights make it adaptable for residential conversion.
Farmhouse Andrea (260 m², up to four bedrooms and five bathrooms) retains traditional Umbrian rural architecture. The lower level, once housing stables, can be converted into living space, while the upper floors provide existing residential areas.

The estate also includes an animal barn (211 m²), a stable with an oven (44 m²), and a tool shed (121 m²), all of which could be restored and adapted for residential or guest use.

The land covers 8,300 m² of garden, suitable for landscaping and the construction of a swimming pool, along with 5.4 hectares of arable land and 2.5 hectares of woodland.

Known locally as Palazzo del Sole, the villa holds historic significance and has been in the same family since 1831. Its name derives from its position as one of the first properties in Umbertide to receive morning sunlight, a detail even recorded in a church fresco in the town. The estate also has historical importance, having been used as a German command post during World War II, though much of the upper floor and original architectural detail remain intact.

The hamlet is less than a kilometre from Umbertide, where services and amenities are available, and is within easy reach of the E45 motorway, offering quick access to the Tiber Valley, Rome, and Ravenna. This fixer-upper property presents an opportunity to acquire a substantial Umbertide, Umbria hamlet for sale with both residential and business potential.
