luxury property with panoramic view for sale Orvieto, Italy

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.

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.
