4 bedrooms farmhouse, 245 m²

Orvieto, Terni (province)

Umbria, Orvieto - In the municipality of Castel Giorgio, in a peaceful, leafy setting within easy walking distance of the village and less than ten minutes from Lake Bolsena, we offer for sale Podere Scarabeo, a property full of authentic character comprising a historic farmhouse, a separate annex and approximately 1.1 hectares of level land.

The farmhouse, with a cadastral floor area of 245 sqm, was renovated just over ten years ago. It retains its original stone walls, exposed wooden beams and terracotta ceiling tiles, with the former stables incorporated into the layout. The renovation also included the windows and doors, flooring, electrical wiring and plumbing.

The main farmhouse comprises nine rooms arranged over two floors. The ground floor features a spacious entrance hall with a study area, a living room with a fireplace, a large kitchen opening onto a covered porch, a bedroom and a generously sized bathroom. This floor also includes a bright, glazed veranda with panoramic views, currently used as a sitting room.
The first floor accommodates a double bedroom with a terrace, a smaller bedroom, a bathroom and a second double bedroom with an en suite bathroom.

Beneath the farmhouse lies an atmospheric cave carved into the tuff rock, formerly used as a wine cellar and now fitted with lighting and accessible for use.

A short distance from the main building, the separate annex, with a cadastral floor area of 50 sqm, provides ideal space for guests or for use as an informal entertaining area. The ground floor comprises a large living room with an open-plan kitchen and a bathroom, while the habitable mezzanine accommodates up to six people. The building is equipped with a fireplace heating system and air conditioning for both heating and cooling.

The fully fenced, predominantly level grounds feature fine mature trees, oaks and an orchard area. Vintage-style outdoor lamp posts illuminate the grounds, creating a welcoming atmosphere in the evening. Two small wooden sheds provide storage for gardening tools.

The main farmhouse is connected to the mains water supply and has central heating powered by an LPG boiler with a dedicated tank.

The property does not currently have a swimming pool. A pool was included in the originally approved plans but was subsequently left unbuilt to prioritise an extension to the building. The completed extension used only part of the stated maximum allowance of 100 sqm. Any further extensions and the construction of a swimming pool would need to be assessed for technical feasibility and the necessary planning permissions.

A property combining the charm of a traditional country home with the convenience of nearby Castel Giorgio, a lively village offering all essential amenities. Ideal as a main residence or a country retreat to enjoy with family and friends.
