13th Century Tower Country House for Sale in Todi, Umbria

For sale, a farmhouse with medieval tower dating back to the 13th century located in the heart of Umbria, offering a spectacular panoramic view over the historic centre of Todi. This property, which exceeds 600 square metres, has preserved and enhanced all its original features through careful philological renovation, making it one of a kind. The exposed stone, perfectly maintained on all the facades, blends harmoniously with the surrounding greenery of nature. The building, which has been partially renovated, has the potential to be divided into several independent living units, each with its own outdoor spaces for guests. Surrounded by 8.3 hectares of woodland with truffle groves and cultivated fields, it also offers a platform already prepared for the construction of a panoramic swimming pool. This farmhouse is ideal for those seeking an oasis of peace and tranquillity, while remaining close to services and the centre of Todi, without having to give up contact with unspoilt nature and maximum privacy. Services are easily accessible in the nearby medieval village of Todi, about 15 minutes' drive away, while the proximity to the E45 motorway makes it easy to reach the main cities of Umbria (such as Perugia, Assisi, Deruta, Spoleto) and Rome in just 2 hours by car. The main part of the farmhouse, which extends over two levels, consists of a large entrance hall, a bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a laundry room, a cellar and three covered garages on the ground floor, while on the upper floor we find a double living room with an original fireplace, a relaxation area, a kitchen, two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a storage room. The secondary wing, which was built later and includes the tower of the old castle, is also accessible via a bridge room from the main part. This section, although consolidated, has remained in its unfinished state to allow the purchaser to customise the finishes to their liking. The careful restoration work carried out by the owners has preserved and enhanced the building's most valuable features, such as the exposed stone walls with medieval angles and decorations, the restored roofs with chestnut beams and recovered terracotta tiles, the original terracotta floors, the chestnut wooden window frames with insulating double-glazing, the solid chestnut wooden doors and the period fireplaces made of dressed stone. The underfloor heating, independently controlled in five zones, is supplemented by a pellet stove for optimal energy efficiency. The building is completed by a shed with a canopy, a medieval outdoor bathroom and a water tank used in the past for washing clothes. The vast surrounding land offers the possibility of enjoying nature to the full, with woods, truffle fields and cultivated fields, all with the splendid backdrop of the historic centre of Todi. In addition, a concrete platform has already been prepared under the house for the construction of a 10 × 5.5 m infinity pool, oriented towards the city to the north. Finally, baked stone walkways surround the entire house.
