Description
Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Umbria, in the province of Perugia, lies a residence that both whispers of history and promises a future of tranquility. A mere 3 kilometers from the storied heart of Todi, this country home presents an opportunity to live a life richly steeped in Italian culture.
Allow me a moment to share with you the story of a home lovingly transformed over generations. This former farmhouse, originally constructed in the 1800s, stands not only as a testament to history but as a canvas for your future—a place where rustic authenticity meets potential. Cloaked in the characteristic wooden beams and terracotta tiles so symbolic of this region, the villa is ripe with opportunity for anyone ready to envelop themselves in the rural beauty of Italia.
With five spacious bedrooms and three bathrooms spread over 235 square meters, this is no small abode. It's where large families or visiting friends can easily find their space, yet still come together to share meals and stories in the open-plan living room that features a built-in kitchen and a delightful wooden fireplace. Imagination and clever design choices have preserved the property's timelessness, allowing you to settle in comfortably while you plan its future modifications—perhaps considering an expansion of up to 100 additional square meters.
Imagine sharing a glass of local wine with guests in the poolside guest cottage, a former barn made anew, complete with a porch that beckons you to sit down and enjoy the views—a bedroom here, a full bath, and kitchen—every corner crafted for hospitality. The property is also well-equipped with the essentials: reliable electricity, a comprehensive water system, and the warmth of oil-fired heating—ready to embrace its next chapter under your stewardship.
Todi itself is a vision of Italy that draws people from around the world to its medieval streets and vibrant piazzas. As a resident here, you'll find yourself in the midst of a town where every turn seems steeped in history—each cobblestone narrating tales of centuries past. Imagine mornings started with a coffee in the cafe, afternoons exploring ancient churches, or browsing the local markets where artisans proudly display their handcrafted wares. Just short drives from Perugia's airport and the bustling metropolises of Rome and Florence, you’re ideally placed for weekend adventures or welcoming guests from afar.
Umbrian life is enveloped in a climate that promises warm summers full of harvest festivals and mild winters perfect for fireside leisure. These sun-drenched days invite explorations of nearby vineyards where exquisite wines introduce you to the terroir, while olive groves offer tastes of liquid gold pressed from the fruits of their ancient trees.
For those seeking a life removed from the city's frenetic pace, there's something restorative about waking up to the sound of birds, taking a stroll among cypress trees, or tending a garden full of roses. It's an existence where the natural world lends its tranquility to each moment, inviting reflection and a slower rhythm against a backdrop of rolling green hills.
Given this countryside setting, daily tasks like heading into town for groceries become an enjoyable excursion rather than a chore, leading through paths lined with breathtaking landscapes. Here, life is enjoyed and savored, not simply lived.
In terms of facilities, the villa does not lack:

- Three well-appointed bathrooms
- Open-plan living and dining area

- Swimming pool with stone-paved sundeck

Owning this home means embracing both its current comfort and its future possibilities. Each creaking floorboard or elegantly weathered ceiling beam harks to past lives lived here, yet waits eagerly for the stories you and your loved ones will add. Thus, as your global agent with ties across cultures and countries, I can sincerely assert this: there are few places remaining in our busy world where one might live at peace with history while cradling the promise of tomorrow. Welcome, perhaps, to your new home.
