Medieval castle with pool, tennis court and tree house

Nestled in the heart of Umbria, this enchanting castle commands breathtaking views over Umbertide and is just a short 20-minute drive from the illustrious Castello di Reschio. With its origins tracing back to the 14th century, this property retains a treasure trove of original medieval architectural features, including the tower's majestic battlements, protective bastions, surrounding fortress walls, and ancient dungeons nestled in the basement. Entering through the stately first tower, you are welcomed into an enchanting inner courtyard, which has historically hosted captivating concerts and theatrical performances. The main residence, sprawling over approximately 1,116 square meters (12,012 square feet), has been meticulously restored, preserving its rich historical essence while infusing a touch of modern elegance and sophistication. On the ground floor, the dining room opens onto a panoramic terrace, and includes a kitchen with direct access to the playroom and laundry facilities. Ascend to the first floor, where a grand multi-level living room offers sweeping views of the estate's expansive grounds—spanning 51.5 hectares (126 acres), featuring a hectare of lush olive groves, 27 hectares of fertile arable land, and 23 hectares of serene woodland. This living area boasts a dedicated piano nook and an inviting loft for relaxation. The first floor also houses a billiard room with vaulted ceilings and a distinguished library. On the second floor, the master suite is a true sanctuary, complete with a cozy sitting room featuring a fireplace, dual en suite bathrooms with both shower and bathtub, two spacious walk-in closets, two studies, and an additional guest bedroom. The third floor presents 5 bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom. A grand stone staircase, adorned with brick columns, elegantly unites the floors, flooding the expansive spaces with light. Altogether, the castle offers 9 sumptuous bedrooms and 12 luxurious bathrooms. Beyond the main residence, the estate includes two separate apartments—one with 3 bedrooms and the other with 1 bedroom. Additional potential awaits in three buildings requiring restoration, including two towers: one spanning 5 floors ripe for future development, and another currently housing a gym on the ground floor. An annex, awaiting renovation, offers potential for a spa or garage. The garden, traversed by a romantic pathway, provides extensive green spaces, manicured lawns, and a remarkable treehouse, perfect for hosting intimate gatherings. The property is further enhanced by a tennis court and a panoramic swimming pool, offering serene relaxation beneath the shade of olive trees in complete privacy. This captivating estate, while enjoying seclusion, ensures absolute privacy and is a 'ready-to-live' dream, comfortably accommodating up to 40 guests. An idyllic retreat for cool summer escapes or creating warm winter memories, the castle is conveniently located just 40 minutes from Perugia and Lake Trasimeno.
