   <title><![CDATA[Podere Pettirosso (EUR 985,000)]]></title> 
   <link>http://www.casambiente.com/viewlisting.php?id=188</link> 
   <description><![CDATA[This beautiful property comprises of two stone houses with spectacular views over the Arnata Valley and has approximately 12.5 hectares of land. The property is privately positioned and yet only 15 min from the medieval city of Todi. The approx. 350 m&sup2; main house, built on 3 floors, was completely and lovingly restored in 2009. The original materials and architectural features of the building, such as handmade terracotta floors and oak beamed ceilings were maintained, where possible, blending perfectly with the modern comforts which have been installed. The house is currently subdivided in 5 apartments. 4 of them have a living room with kitchen area, a bedroom and a bathroom with a shower. They are tastefully decorated and the kitchens are well equipped. All have many windows with beautiful views to the south across the tranquil, unspoiled Arnata Valley. They are heated by traditional wood burning stoves for those few days in the year when heating is necessary. These four smaller apartments are currently successfully operated as summer rentals and have an official status as an &lsquo;Agriturismo&rsquo;. &nbsp; The 5th apartment of approximately 130 sq.m, currently occupied by the owners, has a large living kitchen with a modern kitchen island, a large living room, a study and two bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom with shower and one with en-suite bathroom with bath and large walk-in shower. This house could be easily modified to become a family villa. The second house comprises 120 sq.m. on two floors. The ground floor is currently used as storage and workshop area and the first floor is a two bedroom apartment requiring some work. Both houses benefit from modern environmentally friendly technology including a photo-voltaic installation large enough to make the complex approximately cost neutral for electric power, a solar hot water installation large enough to supply free hot water for 12 people throughout the summer months. For the non-sunny periods both domestic hot water and water for the central heating system is provided by a high efficiency wood-burning furnace - currently run on wood taken from the estate. &nbsp; Completing the property is approx. 12.5 ha of land containing woodland, olive groves, arable land and pastures. The property has a private well and spring; it also profits from a town water supply. Drainage is through a modern septic tank and pebble bed filter that cleans the waste water sufficiently to allow it to be returned to the environment as surface water. The beautifully laid out gardens around the house include shady areas with tables and chairs and a number of benches where you can enjoy the views both over the Arnata Valley and up to the medieval village of Pesciano. There is also a&nbsp; sun terrace with a massage pool, a barbecue area, a bocce court and a giant outdoor chess board. Although the property is privately positioned the medieval city of Todi can be reached in only few minutes by car. Todi offers a wide range of shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants. There are several banks, a post office and a well-equipped hospital. Art, music and theatre are to be found in abundance throughout the year and a riot of village festas throughout the summer. The airport of Perugia, with regular flights to London Stansted and Brussels South (and shortly Amsterdam and Berlin) is 55 kms away. The airports of Rome and Florence are 170 km and 215 kms away. There is also the possibility to purchase another 1 ha approx. of olive grove upon which there is the possibility to build accommodation of approx. 80 m&sup2; above ground. The asking price for this piece of land is 80,000.00 Euro Energy Class: F ]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Casa degli Archi (EUR 385,000)]]></title> 
   <link>http://www.casambiente.com/viewlisting.php?id=184</link> 
   <description><![CDATA[Properties such as this are few and far between - this ancient semidetached town house, dating back to the 13th century, is a real gem. The stone building does not only have wonderful views of the historical centre of Assisi, its Rocca and the surrounding countryside, but what makes it an exclusive property, is that it disposes of a generous private garden. Casa degli Archi is built on two levels which at the moment form two independent apartments but which could be internally connected (there is an approved project). It has been fully restored only recently using top quality materials and preserving the original characteristics of the house (cotto floors, original doors, stone arches,&hellip;) On street level you enter the house in an inviting reception room with fireplace. A corridor leads to the back of the house, to a comfortable eat-in kitchen with the most wonderful views. Off the corridor you find a double bedroom and a bathroom. A pedestrian passage way brings you to the lower part of the house with a most spectacular living/dining room. This is the room that gave the property its name: it has the most amazing arched ceilings. Blending in is a modern kitchen corner. There is also a bedroom and a bathroom. The outdoor living can be enjoyed in the lovely peaceful split level garden where you can admire the castle of Assisi. The garden contains various mature trees and plants (nuts, figs, hazelnuts&hellip;) and lovely flower beds. From the house it is a five minutes walk to the main piazza and twenty minutes to the historic Basilica of S Francis. It is within reach of twice hourly busses to the railway station thence main line connections to Rome and Florence by fast inexpensive trains Assisi does not need any further presentation, the only thing worth to add might be that it is situated at only 15 km from Perugia&rsquo;s airport with regular flights to London Stansted and Brussels south. Of course it is also ideally situated to reach some of the other sought-after Umbrian sites such as Spoleto, Montefalco, Perugia, Spello, Bevagna &hellip; An exceptional property if ever there was one!

   <title><![CDATA[Podere Pischiello (EUR 1,400,000)]]></title> 
   <link>http://www.casambiente.com/viewlisting.php?id=183</link> 
   <description><![CDATA[All of Lake Trasimeno, mountains, beach towns, hill towns, pastures, forests, olives groves and vineyards sit quietly at your feet. The views are as varied as they are endless and beautiful. Aside from the birds, a breeze and the tinkling bells of the shepherd's passing flock, all you hear is nothing. This paradise was also the scene of Rome's historic defeat at the hands of Hannibal. Swords and arrows from a battle fought 2,222 years ago still surface throughout the area. In a gentler vein, Isola Maggiore, one of the three islands on the lake, gave refuge to St. Francis. Podere Pischiello is composed of&nbsp; two stone houses that have been beautifully and completely restored (between 1997 and 2000) maintaining all the original features; beamed ceilings, cotto floors, brick arches, etc. There is also a large independent garage. The main house (approx. 460 m&sup2;) is comfortable and quite spacious featuring on the ground floor a large dining/reception room with brick arches with access to the kitchen. Stairs lead up from the reception room to the first floor, to a covered loggia and a door leading to the caretaker's flat.&nbsp; To the rear with separate accesses are a workshop, laundry room and cantina. The first floor can be reached either by an internal staircase or by one of two external stone staircases.&nbsp; Here you can find an inviting living room with fireplace, a kitchen and a master bedroom with bathroom. There are furthermore three large guest bedrooms, all with lake views, and two bathrooms. In front but somewhat below the main house at about 25 meters, separated by terraced lawn and shrubs, is situated the guest cottage (approx. 115 m&sup2;). On the ground floor there are two bedrooms, a living room with kitchen corner, a bathroom and a study.&nbsp; External steps to the rear of the cottage lead up to an art studio with spectacular lake view. The infinity swimming pool, on a level below both homes, has the most wonderful views overlooking the lake. Passignano sul Trasimeno, with shops, beaches and restaurants is 5 km away. Cortona or Perugia are each under 30 minutes by car. Within an hour, you can be in Orvieto, Todi, Assisi, Arezzo, Siena or Pienza. Florence is 90 minutes away, and Rome about two hours.
