Basques, Umbria 05023

This country house is an unusual home in an unusual place! The house needs structural interventions, all systems, finishes and fixtures, and so it can be customised to fit any taste at all! This is one of the rare opportunities to buy a property that:features an authentic building with the part of an ancient watchtower integrated in the buildingis located at the outer edge of a wonderful little town and at a very short distance of its historic districtat the same time enjoys a country life location with great plot of land and lovely viewsoffers a nice garden and olive grovehas delightful details like underlying rock showing in the floor and (future) wine cellar throughout the country houseIt is the mix of environments and possibilities that make this house such an interesting one. A 3 minute walk provides a cappuccino at the nearest bar but when at home the town seems instantly a distant memory. 8 Minutes take you one of the best restaurants of the area, with a beautiful lake view, but by adding a pool this property might as well be a country side retreat. The slogan best of both is definitely applicable here!The inside lay-out is more or less clear, but can still be altered as well. It makes sense to divide the ground floor space into living and open kitchen. Bathroom and storage space. The first floor can harbour two bedrooms and a bathroom, and the tower offers a third bedroom with en-suite bathroom.The covered porch can be closed in and the large terrace behind the house is a wonderful place to relax.The space next to the house which is currently visible as garage is connected to the main house by an internal staircase and could work out great as second living, games room, (independent) apartment, workshop, office space or other. Part of it could also be transformed into a stunning wine cellar with exposed rock.For work to be done we highly recommend our colleagues from Renovating in Umbria.
