Equestrian Property Orvieto Umbria
Small farm property with a spacious farmhouse and equestrian amenities for sale in southern Umbria, halfway between Orvieto and Lake Bolsena. The 14.6-hectare farm estate is located just outside of a small medieval village and is centred around a refurbished stone farmhouse (306 square metres) that could easily be converted into two apartments (a 3 bed and a 2 bed) if desired. The property has an organic vegetable garden, a modest barn, and a horse pasture.
The local village (2km; 5′) provides all required facilities and is also within walking reach. However, the towns of Orvieto and Bolsena are approximately a 20-minute drive away and provide all of the facilities that the village does not. Other towns in Umbria and Tuscany are within an hour’s drive (Todi, Saturnia, Montalcino, Terni…).
The farmhouse has a surface area of 306 sqm – 3,293 sqft with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on two floors.
On the lower level are several rooms, some of which are pretty generous in size, that have been completely restored and renovated: currently unused, these spaces could be easily converted into a cosy apartment with a living/dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
On the upper level is the owner’s residence made up of a spacious living area with open plan kitchen and dining space, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The two levels are not connected inside and each has their own independent access from outside.
Not far from the house, a barn (40 sqm – 430 sqft) is used to shelter tools and horse equipment. One of the rooms is used as a tack room.
The farm covers about 14.6 hectares (36.1 acres) arranged mostly in a flat area. All around the farmhouse is a well-maintained meadow (about 6,000 sqm) on which a swimming pool (subject to obtaining the necessary permissions), could also be built.
Agriculturally, the farm follows the principles of biodynamics and deals with both cultivation (mainly vegetables and fruit) and breeding, with a specific focus on horses and ponies for which this area provides the ideal environment. Thanks to the pristine environment, the owners have also decided to raise bees in what has become a conservation “oasis”.
To raise awareness amongst younger children, the owners also organize training and educational events at the farm.
