Description of buildings

This property consists of a large farmhouse with a dovecote tower surrounded by over half a hectare of land.

The farmhouse develops over two floors, besides the other two floors of the tower and two semi-basements for a net saleable area of about 431 sq.m (100 sq.m of which for the garage).

On the ground floor, we find a living room with a bar, a large sitting room with a fireplace, and a dining room, all of which almost create a single light-flooded living area that stretches to a kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom.

An internal and an external staircase lead to the first floor, consisting of a living room with a fireplace, a nice kitchen also with a fireplace, a laundry room, a bedroom, and a bathroom.

The two floors of the dovecote tower both feature a bedroom with a private bathroom.

Finally, the two basements house the cellar and a 100 sq.m garage.

Two entrances (one on the ground floor and the other on the first floor accessed through an external staircase) allow you to separate the first floor from the rest of the building. This way, the property can be used by two families.

The measurements provided indicate the liveable surface area.
The liveable surface area is the same as the walkable surface area (which includes internal walls) plus 10% to take into account supporting walls.
The surface area occupied by stairs may only be calculated once.

State and finishing

Casale dell’Antica Torre was renovated about twenty years ago and is in good condition.

Its stone structure with a dovecote tower is a perfect example of Umbrian rural architecture. Inside, it features typical ceilings with exposed beams and tiles.

All bedrooms have parquet flooring.

The external window frames with shutters are made of top-quality wood.

External areas

A fenced lawn stretches towards the valley dotted with tall trees and walkways that lead to the lower areas before reconnecting to the main entrance.

The entire area around the farmhouse is paved with stone.

A sun-soaked swimming pool overlooking the valley towards Spoleto is the perfect place to relax and have fun.

And a wood-burning oven and barbecue will allow you to enjoy outdoor get-togethers in the portico near the main entrance during the summer.

Use and potential uses

Casale dell’Antica Torre is perfect both as a stable residence and a holiday home. Its position makes it excellent for those who want their privacy without ever feeling isolated. In fact, the property is just a few minutes away from Spoleto, a town that has plenty of services, attractions, and cultural events to offer. And it’s close to other major Umbrian towns, too, making it ideal for the international weekly rental circuit.
