Set against one of Umbria’s most evocative backdrops, where the tranquillity of the countryside meets the beauty of Lake Corbara’s waters, a residence of rare charm has taken shape: a former tobacco drying shed, now transformed into a refined and charming country house.
The skilful renovation, completed just a year ago, has breathed new life into the building through the use of high-quality materials and an almost tailor-made attention to every detail. The authentic spirit of the property has been preserved and, at the same time, enhanced through a refined balance between heritage, elegance and contemporary comfort.
The property spans two levels, covering a total of 287 square metres, and features a particularly versatile layout, with the potential to be organised into two separate residential units.
At the heart of the residence lies its privileged connection with the landscape. A picturesque panoramic veranda opens out towards the lake, offering an ideal space for outdoor living, indulging in moments of absolute relaxation and letting oneself be enveloped by the tranquillity of nature. Completing this atmosphere, a spectacular veranda, perfectly integrated into the farmhouse’s architecture, provides an elegant entrance to the second part of the property.
On the ground floor of the main house, there is an entrance hall, a spacious kitchen-diner, a large and bright living room with a dining area featuring a fireplace, and a bathroom.
On the upper floor, connected to the living area by both an internal and an external staircase, a cosy sitting room leads into the sleeping area, comprising a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and access to a magnificent panoramic terrace, two further bedrooms and a second bathroom, all within a warm and intimate setting.
The veranda leads to the other part of the residence, where the ground floor comprises a living room and a utility room. The first floor also features a second kitchen-diner, a double bedroom, a bathroom and a panoramic terrace, offering yet another prime vantage point from which to admire the surrounding landscape.
The entire property is the result of a restoration project carried out with sensitivity and care: every room has been designed to preserve the original character of the historic building, highlighting its distinctive features whilst meeting the demands of modern living.
The result is an authentic and sophisticated home, offering privacy, comfort and an extraordinary connection with the landscape. A place intended for those seeking more than just a residence: an exclusive retreat where the history of the area, nature and elegance coexist in perfect harmony.
A strategic location, in the heart of Umbria
Whilst nestled in the tranquillity and privacy of the Umbrian countryside, the property enjoys an extremely favourable location.
Orvieto is just 15 km away, whilst Todi is around 20 km away. The picturesque villages of Civitella del Lago and Baschi, which beautifully exemplify the authentic charm of this region, are also just a few minutes’ drive away.
Ease of travel is further ensured by the presence, just 15 km away, of both the motorway junction and the railway station.
A rare combination: the feeling of living in a secluded and unspoilt setting, whilst being able to easily reach some of Umbria’s most charming towns and the main transport links.
