Villa for sale in Orvieto, Terni, Umbria

A private access of 150 meters leads to Podere Il Monte, which from its hilly position dominates the entire surrounding valley, enjoying a spectacular 360 degree panoramic view, one of a kind. The property, thanks to its location, benefits from absolute privacy and tranquility. The historical heritage and architectural tradition of the manor house have been expertly and carefully preserved, integrated with the best of modern comfort and energy performance. The ancient Watch Tower from the 15th century was, in the following centuries, modified and enlarged to become a prestigious residence.

The underfloor heating system exploits the natural energy of a geothermal system.

The property consists of three independent units, with a total of 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. It has a large covered porch, two basements with a game room, a wine cellar and a pizza oven. Inside the property there is an ancient tomb of Etruscan origin which is used as a wine cellar. From the heated and fully automated infinity pool the view reaches as far as the Cathedral of Orvieto.
