4 bedrooms semi-detached house, 205 m²

Lisciano Niccone, Perugia (province)

Just a stone’s throw from the prestigious Reschio Estate (www.reschio.com), nestled in the hills of Lisciano Niccone, right on the border between Umbria and Tuscany, lies this tastefully turnkey renovated country house with a guesthouse and swimming pool. A spot not far from Lake Trasimeno where tranquillity, nature and comfort come together, surrounded by rolling hills, ancient olive trees and authentic villages. Lisciano Niccone is situated in the ‘green heart of Italy’, renowned for its beautiful countryside, culture, excellent restaurants, delicious local produce and exceptional wines.
Main house – the main house has been thoroughly renovated in recent years. On the first floor, it features three stylish bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as a kitchen adjoining a spacious sitting and dining room. The property (a semi-detached house) boasts high-quality finishes: atmospheric, peaceful and timeless, with a practical layout and a warm ambience. The ground floor space is currently partly used as a utility room and storage area; if desired, there is the option to convert these areas into additional living space (approx. 100 m²).
Guesthouse – the detached guesthouse is situated approximately 70 metres from the main house and has its own entrance and gate. It comprises a sitting room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom with toilet, washbasin, shower and bidet, and a utility room with toilet and washbasin. This makes it particularly suitable for guests, as family accommodation or potentially for letting, offering complete privacy and independence.
Swimming pool and grounds – the grounds, covering approximately 5,300 m², are laid out as a Mediterranean garden featuring 24 mature olive trees, cypresses, rosemary, sage and laurel bushes, grapevines, elderflower and fruit trees such as figs, persimmons, apricots, plums and walnuts, as well as flowering plants such as Tuscan jasmine, clematis, wild geraniums, verbena, grasses and various salvia plants. The garden and planting are mature and relatively low-maintenance. The beautiful 11 x 5-metre swimming pool offers a breathtaking view over the Niccone Valley. On the terrace by the main house, there is a 6 x 4 metre pergola covered in grapevines, a large outdoor kitchen complete with a wood-fired pizza oven, fridge and sink, ideal for long evenings outdoors. In the evening, lighting in the outdoor kitchen, by the swimming pool and in certain areas of the garden creates a special atmosphere. Next to the main house is another pergola, covered with leaves and grapevines, which is perfect as an outdoor workspace. There is excellent Wi-Fi in both houses, by the swimming pool and throughout the grounds.
Distance from civilisation (accessibility) – The property is centrally located. The villages of Lisciano Niccone and Mercatale are a 5-minute drive away, whilst the towns of Cortona, Perugia and Montone can be reached in 30 minutes. Montepulciano, Castiglione del Lago, Assisi, Gubbio and Arezzo are all less than an hour’s drive away. Despite its peaceful setting, access to airports and major cities is excellent: Perugia Airport is a 40-minute drive away, and Florence (90 mins) and Rome (150 mins) are also easily accessible. Florence and Rome are also easily reached from Cortona-Terontola railway station.
