Farmhouse, 3118 m²

Todi, Perugia (province)

Nestled in the peace and harmony of the Umbrian hills, we offer for sale an extraordinary historic estate enjoying a commanding and strategic position, with unparalleled panoramic views over the city of Todi.

The property strikes the perfect balance between the utmost privacy of a countryside retreat and immediate proximity to the historic centre, skilfully combining the serenity of rural life with the area's cultural wealth, services and leisure infrastructure. It is an exceptional natural setting, where unspoilt countryside surrounds the estate, ensuring an atmosphere of refined and absolute tranquillity.

The villa is a true piece of history in the Todi area, with origins dating directly back to Roman times. In fact, the structure stands on the ancient concrete foundations of the legendary Palace of Trajan, as evidenced by valuable artefacts uncovered during restoration works, including a bronze coin of Caesar Augustus, mosaic fragments and worked travertine stone.

Documented since the 15th century, the property served for centuries as a spiritual retreat for the nuns of the ancient Order of the Lucrezie, who preserved within it a small private church dedicated to St John.

Restored to its former glory through meticulous renovation works begun in 1999 and further upgraded in 2024, the country house is now presented in impeccable condition. Architecturally, the residence retains its ancient soul through fine traditional finishes, including exposed stone walls, structural arches, ceilings with majestic wooden beams and terracotta tiles, and solid wood window and door frames.

The welcoming and exceptionally bright interiors flow seamlessly into the outdoor spaces, where a large, beautifully maintained garden, a magnificent panoramic swimming pool, and an agricultural park with olive groves and woodland create an ideal oasis for relaxation.

Modern technology blends harmoniously with history through advanced and sustainable features, notably a powerful photovoltaic system of approximately 37 kW, air conditioning, a perimeter alarm system, and dual water supply via the public water network and a private well.

This property is not only a residence of the highest prestige, but also a highly profitable investment asset of remarkable versatility. Already organised as an agricultural estate for tourism and hospitality purposes, it is perfectly positioned to meet the growing international demand for luxury tourism in Umbria.

The elegance of its interiors, the extensive private grounds and the evocative scenic setting overlooking Todi make it the perfect venue for exclusive ceremonies, cultural events and high-end food and wine experiences. Furthermore, the substantial photovoltaic system ensures a high degree of energy independence, dramatically reducing the operating costs typically associated with large historic properties and increasing overall efficiency.

Finally, its certified historical and archaeological value, spanning from the Roman era to the 18th century, makes this property a unique and irreplaceable work of arta safe-haven asset destined to strengthen and appreciate over time.
