Paradiso, Montone, Perugia, Umbria

Description

An immaculately restored farmhouse probably dating back 300 years and set in 11.7 hectares of land. Located four kilometres north east of Montone, the location is panoramic with beautiful far-reaching views. The main house measures approximately 270 square metres and is on two levels. The ground floor consists of a striking double height entrance hall, a kitchen, a dining room and a triple aspect lounge. Both of these rooms have wood burning stoves - one of them, in the dining room, is connected to the central heating system which is also fired with LPG stored in an underground holding tank of 1,400 litres. Also on the ground floor is a cantina/laundry room, a bathroom with shower and a technical room with all mechanical services including the central heating boiler. On the upper floor there are four glorious bedrooms, all with bathrooms en suite. With exposed wooden beams, a mixture of terracotta and wood flooring and high quality fixtures and fittings, this lovely property is not only beautifully restored but is immaculately maintained in every way and it is clear that every aspect has been thoughtfully considered.   There are two additional buildings; one, once a pig-sty of 45 square metres, has been transformed into a fabulous workshop with the added advantage of a working bread-oven whilst the 65 square metre barn is currently used as a car-port and wood storage area. Both of these buildings have planning permission to extend for a total 114 square metres. The water supply comes from two sources; a well with a 5,000 litre storage tank and a spring for the garden irrigation systems.Around half a hectare of the 11.7 hectares is fenced and landscaped whilst the remainder is let to a local organic farmer who uses the land for hay for his sheep; He maintains the fields and pays rent by way of logs for the wood burning stoves. Various seating and dining terraces surround the property, all of which have good views. The 10x5 metre saltwater pool has solar heating as well as underground plant room for the filter and chlorination equipment. This room also provides ample storage space for garden and pool furniture in the winter.
The whole property, with gated driveway, is incredibly private and not overlooked.
