Stone farmhouse with garden, land and swimming pool for sale colse to Passignano sul Trasimeno, Perugia.

Superbly restored 16th-century stone country house with swimming pool for sale in Passignano sul Trasimeno, Perugia. Perched on Umbrian hills, at 350 meters a.s.l., just 2,5 km from Castel Rigone, as far back as the 1300s authentic records mention a watchtower that overlooked the Pian di Marte near Lake Trasimeno, only 8 km away. Over the centuries it was converted into a dwelling, spread over several levels, each with a story to tell. The central part dates back to 1500, a hedge section to 1769 and the tower, built for the processing of tobacco, to 1800. A meticulous restoration aimed at preserving the original materials involved the most skilled Umbrian craftsmen donating new life to all rooms boasting wood-beamed ceilings, terracotta floors, custom-made furniture, hand-painted tiles and exquisite wrought iron decorations. Through an ancient archway the main entrance takes into a homely kitchen forming the central part of the house, furnished with an Ilve cooker and a stone fireplace. The outdoor offers a pergola ideal for al fresco dining and comfortably housing 14 seats. A guest flat with separate access includes a living room with a kitchen and access to the terrace, a bedroom, and a bathroom. An external staircase takes to the first floor consisting of a sitting room with a fireplace, a library room, a walk-in wardrobe, a master bedroom with fireplace and a second bedroom with access to a terrace. A suite on two levels has also been created within the tobacco tower. The former stable room on the ground floor was been converted into a green room and winter garden becoming a fantastic light-filled reading space. The garden was designed by a landscape architect with harmonious paths leading to the swimming pool, a rose garden, aromatic herbs, shrubs, cypresses, and a blooming wisteria plant decorating the south façade of the house, surrounded by 60 olive trees. A gorgeous pool house faces the swimming pool and the surrounding landscape, boasting a lounge area, bathroom, the possibility to install a sauna, and the potential to become an in-house SPA. Beautifully maintained, with stunning finishes and unique amenities, Rose Garden Country House is a residence full of history and charm, ready to move in, ideal as a private residence or to host tourists for their holidays.
