An enchanting property that began life as a watchtower and communication tower in 1200, positioned on a hill with panoramic views in all directions by virtue of its ancient function. It consists of an ancient body, the three-storey tower with Ghibelline merlons, and a later extension of over 400 square metres that makes it widely liveable and comfortable. The structure, built entirely of stone and with ceilings with wooden beams and terracotta tiles, fully respects the traditional building techniques of the period.
Inside we find large, bright and cosy spaces, rustic details that blend harmoniously with elements of comfort. The numerous windows allow natural light to flood the interior, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in every room.
On the first floor, the property has six bedrooms, four bathrooms and a main living room with an atmospheric fireplace, ideal for hosting family and guests. On the ground floor there is a large kitchen and a long living room characterised by two stone arches. Still on the ground floor are five more rooms with various possible uses. Going up, finally, we have a studio inside the tower, a small terrace and the tower's super panoramic terrace.
There are two outbuildings, an oven and an animal shelter, which are in good condition and can be used for various purposes. The property is accompanied by an extensive estate of about 2.5 hectares of land, consisting of one hectare cultivated for decades in organic mode, a valuable wood for wood, a terraced orchard and the upper part of the hillside cared for as a garden and olive grove. The presence of about 140 olive trees, cared for and in production, offers a harvest of about 1000-1500 kilos of olives per year.
Situated a short distance from the Orvietana, a scenic road connecting Todi from Orvieto along the Tiber and Lake Corbara, it is a reference point for a nature trail in the area. All necessary services are located a short distance away.
The geographic position and the altitude of 400 metres above sea level mean that the climate is always mild even in winter and definitely suitable for agriculture and in particular the production of highly prized olive oil.
