Cozy country home comprising a pretty 4-bed farmhouse built around a 17th century watchtower with lovely gardens and 550 tree olive grove with panoramic views over the Green Umbria countryside close to Amelia.

Pretty Home in Umbria

A very pretty and well-restored property with lovely gardens and 4.2 hectares (10.4 acres) of land. Not too far from town and facilities in a quiet and rural location.

Located in the rolling hills of Umbria near Amelia, this property offers stunning panoramic views. The home, in excellent condition,  has a surface area of 266 square metres (2,862 square feet) and features four bedrooms, making it suitable as either a private residence or a vacation home. It is set on 4.2 hectares (10.4 acres) of land, which includes a beautifully maintained garden and a centuries-old olive grove with 550 trees.

Amelia, a nearby historic town renowned for its well-preserved medieval centre, adds to the property’s appeal. The town is surrounded by oak forests, olive groves, and the Tiber River, and is enclosed by ancient walls dating back over a thousand years. The property is conveniently located near a small village (1.7 km) with essential services, while Amelia’s centre, just a 10-minute drive away, provides access to supermarkets, banks, and additional amenities. The E45 freeway is only five minutes away, allowing for easy travel to Rome in just over an hour.

The house, centered around a 17th-century watchtower, is arranged over two floors. A large porch with a peperino stone table and a wood-burning oven leads to the main entrance. Inside, the bright living room features a stone fireplace and views on two sides. Adjacent is a masonry kitchen with a fireplace, tiled accents, and ample countertop space. The living area connects to a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and private study, which in turn leads to a second en-suite bedroom.

On the lower level, accessible independently from the outside, there is a spacious cellar (usable as a rustic entertaining space), a technical room with a service bathroom, and two more bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bathroom. The independent access to these rooms is ideal for hosting guests while maintaining privacy.

The country home retains its authentic charm with original chestnut-beamed ceilings throughout. The surrounding land includes space suitable for adding a swimming pool, blending seamlessly into the natural landscape. Terraced gardens with ornamental plants and mature trees offer numerous spots for relaxation or outdoor gatherings.
