Villa 3 chambres, 250 m²

Piegaro, Pérouse (province)

Lac Trasimène

A 250-square-metre stone farmhouse on two levels, in need of renovation, with the potential for a 100-square-metre extension and views over the Umbrian hills REF. PIE365 There are buildings that have already done the hardest part: staying standing. Casale La Villa is one of these — a stone-built property with an intact tiled roof, solid perimeter walls, an external stone staircase and a mature olive tree guarding the façade, set in an open location overlooking the Umbrian hills with cypress trees on the horizon and woodland behind. You’re not buying a building site: you’re buying a property just waiting to be lived in. The 250 square metres of gross floor area are spread over two levels. The ground floor — with direct access from the surrounding grounds — comprises four rooms currently used as a storeroom, cellar and storage area; the first floor, reached via the distinctive external stone staircase, houses three larger, lighter spaces that will become the main living area. The final layout is entirely up to the buyer’s vision: beams, vaults, openings — everything is still open to decision. To further the possibilities, a 100-square-metre extension, already permitted under local regulations, offers concrete scope for those wishing to go beyond the existing structure.
