Interesting lifestyle property opportunity near Lake Trasimeno in Umbria comprising a vineyard estate (13 hectares of vines) plus a large farmhouse (divided into 5 apartments, former agriturismo), dependence with one apartment and outbuilding. 18.0 hectares (44.5 acres) of land in total including woodland and ponds for irrigation.
Vineyard Estate, Possible Agriturismo Umbria
Just a short drive from a town with comprehensive amenities and close to Lake Trasimeno, this Umbrian estate offers an idyllic lifestyle opportunity with its 13 hectares of productive vineyards. At the moment it is not producing wine in-house, the grapes are currently sold to a local consortium that handles the winemaking process.
Strategically located, the property ensures easy access to a plethora of both Tuscan and Umbrian destinations, including Montepulciano, Cortona, and Città della Pieve, each approximately 30 minutes away, with further renowned cities like Perugia, Montalcino, Assisi, and Siena also within an hour’s reach. The area is well-served by several airports, with Perugia Sant’Egidio being the nearest.
Spanning three buildings, the main structure offers 518 square metres of living space across two levels, featuring five apartments. The ground floor includes a private cellar, communal entrance hall, two dining areas with kitchenettes, two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a technical room for the boiler. The upper floor hosts the majority of the accommodation facilities with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, additional dining spaces, and a living room.
Additionally, a 70-square-metre annexe has been converted into a charming guest apartment, previously utilised as a storage facility. A large 300-square-metre shed serves as a garage for agricultural machinery and storage.
Historically operated as an accommodation business until 2017, the estate has been dormant since, and although structurally sound, it requires some refurbishment to become fully operational again. Access is via an unpaved road leading to a modest parking area. The buildings sit amidst an informal garden with native trees and overlook 18 hectares of land, comprising 13 hectares of vineyards and 5 hectares of woodland, enhanced by two irrigation ponds.
10 hectares of vineyard were replanted between 2002 and 2008, while the remaining 3 hectares were first planted in the biennium 1998 – 1999 and not replanted since. The density of the newer vineyard is ca. 4,500 stumps per hectare with a spacing of 0.90 x 2.50 m. The old vineyard is much thinner, ca. 3,500 stumps per hectare, with a spacing of 1.00 x 3.00 m.
These vineyards present an opportunity for minor enhancements to maximise their potential.
This property, currently focusing on grape cultivation, lacks a commercial-grade winery, though it contains a small private cellar which could be easily converted into a bigger wine-producing cellar.
Ideal for those interested in hospitality ventures and viniculture, the estate offers extensive accommodation potential and could also house the owners on the ground floor, establishing a perfect balance between business and private residence.
