Unique residence in Mantignana with swimming pool for sale
A thousand-year-old residence of 1100 m2, converted into a refined agriturismo with 10 apartments and 20 bedrooms, a park, a swimming pool and a tennis court, is for sale in Perugia
On the border with Tuscany, just ten minutes northwest of Perugia, among charming historic towns including Corciano, considered one of the most beautiful borgos in Italy (just 6 km away), and not far from the picturesque shores of Lake Trasimeno with its islands (15 km), lies this exceptional residence Santa Maria.
This unique complex rises on a hill at an altitude of 280 meters above sea level, with a stunning view of the Kaina River Valley. It is surrounded by a private park of 2.3 hectares, completely fenced and immersed in greenery.
The history of the residence begins in 1100, when a defensive castle was erected on the site of a Roman fortification, elements of which can still be clearly seen in the massive natural stone facades that retain the shape of a bastion. Over time, the building underwent changes: in the 16th century, there was probably a monastery with a church and a refectory, and already in the middle of the 18th century, the building was transformed into an elegant four-story country villa, decorated with a magnificent three-arched colonnade overlooking the courtyard, paved with stone in the shape of a herringbone. The date 1759 and a ceramic image of the Virgin Mary with the baby have been preserved above the gate to the courtyard.
The interiors of the villa bear traces of a thousand years of history: vaulted ceilings, some with charming brickwork, others with natural wood beams in a traditional rustic style. The floors are entirely laid with hand-made terracotta tiles. In some rooms, ancient paintings, altars and niches have been preserved.
Following a careful and respectful restoration, the interior of the villa features eight apartments with 16 bedrooms, as well as a loggia, a spacious study/studio and utility rooms on the ground floor. In the basement, the former monastery refectory has been transformed into a magnificent banqueting hall with three brick arches and a fireplace - the perfect space for a tavern with a full kitchen, access to the garden and a bathroom.
Next to the bastion, a former barn has been converted into two more apartments, each with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
On the territory: a well-kept Mediterranean park, a large swimming pool, a well-kept tennis court, a small vineyard with white grape varieties and an olive grove. The residence is completely ready for living and receiving guests.
