Ancient Benedictine Abbey for Sale in Spoleto, Perugia – Umbria



REF. PER108



Nestled within a vast estate of 221 hectares ( 546 acres), rich in centuries-old woods and with a view that seems endless, there is an ancient Benedictine abbey with a consecrated church and a guesthouse, for sale near Spoleto. Located atop the Monti Spoletini, at over 1,000 meters (3,280 ft) above sea level, this former abbey stands majestically, dominating an extraordinary landscape that stretches as far as Todi and Spoleto.



The surrounding land is characterized by ancient trees, some over 400 years old, and pastures that wind along a classic white road, leading to an untouched corner of central Italy. The structure dates back to the year 1000, built on the remains of a Roman temple, whose foundations are still visible and mark the contours of a glorious past. Although it suffered destruction over the centuries, in the 19th century it was transformed into a farmhouse and, after a careful restoration in 2003, today it presents itself as a splendid residence of 250 sq m, maintaining intact the stone walls and the enchanting rustic atmosphere of medieval buildings.



Inside, there is a large hall with ceilings over 6 meters (19.7 ft) high and a monumental fireplace. A balcony and a consecrated chapel make the house perfect for ceremonies and weddings. The property offers two large rooms both on the ground floor and on the first floor, ready to be customized.



The former agricultural annex has been completely renovated. It is now a rustic house with a porch, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and high-quality finishes.



The natural spring ensures water supply for domestic use and irrigation. There is a generator for electricity. It is possible to install solar panels and wind turbines. A swimming pool can also be built.



The Monti Martani separate the Tiber Valley from the Spoleto Valley. From here, you can enjoy unique views: about a dozen kilometers away you can see Todi with the bell tower of San Fortunato. The glimmer of Perugia and the Cathedral of Orvieto can be glimpsed beyond the Tiber gorge. In the distance, you can also distinguish Assisi, Montefalco, Trevi, Spello, and Spoleto.



Services and shops are in Massa Martana, just 6 km (3.7 miles) away.



This property is unique. It is ideal as a private residence in an isolated location. Perfect as a retreat in the green heart of Umbria or for events, weddings, and tourism. A rare opportunity to live or invest in an unspoiled corner of Italy.
