VILLA “LIBRI D’AUTORE” (The Author’s Retreat)
In the municipality of Magione (Perugia), in the historic area of Agello, we offer for sale a masterfully restored period VILLA set within an enchanting private park.
This property served as the peaceful sanctuary for a world-renowned British author, who penned his most celebrated works within these tranquil walls.
The Layout
The villa spans two levels with a total surface area of approximately 320 sqm, complemented by a 100 sqm annex. The property is nestled within 2 hectares (approx. 5 acres) of private land, offering a secluded and intimate setting that remains conveniently accessible and just a short stroll from the local village.
Upper Level (First Floor): The main residence features a spacious hall with an authentic antique English fireplace, a cozy living area, a kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a large panoramic terrace overlooking the stunning Umbrian landscape.
Ground Floor: Connected by an internal staircase, this level opens into a large kitchen that leads directly to an expansive pergola, perfect for alfresco dining. The ground floor continues into a living room and dining hall, dominated by a second original antique fireplace imported from England. This level also includes a master bedroom, a bathroom featuring an original Finnish sauna, and a dressing room.

Versatility & Potential
The ground floor layout is designed for flexibility: it can be easily partitioned (using drywall) to create a self-contained guest apartment with its own existing independent entrance, comprising a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom.
Finishes & Features
The villa beautifully preserves the classic farmhouse aesthetic, featuring:
Traditional terracotta flooring (cotto).
Elegant marble bathrooms.
Ceilings with exposed wooden beams and terracotta tiles (pianelle).
These historic details are seamlessly integrated with modern comforts, including high-efficiency heat pump systems and double-glazed wooden window frames.

The Grounds
The property is partially fenced, featuring a lush garden filled with fruit trees, majestic tall trees, ornamental shrubs, and a fragrant rose garden. The estate is completed by a traditional wood-burning oven, masonry tool sheds, and a large carport.
