In the heart of a timeless landscape, nestled in the quiet of Umbria and surrounded by centuries-old olive groves, stands a rare architectural jewel of extraordinary historical value: an ancient castle with a medieval tower for sale, recognised as a National Monument and featured in important historical cartographic records, including the famous Gallery of Maps in the Vatican Museums.

The property spans over 1,080 sq m and includes an impressive 35-metre-tall quadrangular sandstone tower spread over six levels, characterised by elegant ogival windows, ancient dovecotes, and refined architectural details that bear witness to its prestigious past. Next to the tower are the remains of the ancient castle, expertly recovered and enhanced through a major, already-approved restoration project. The origins of the residence likely date back to between the 11th and 12th centuries, while historical documents attest to reinforcement work on the walls as early as 1313, giving the property a unique charm and a historical significance of absolute prestige.

The interior layout of the rooms has been designed to maximise the historical charm of the property while ensuring high standards of comfort and liveability. In the lower parts of the castle, corresponding to the basement and ground floor, there is the main entrance, a cloakroom, an atmospheric indoor swimming pool, a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, the kitchen, a cosy living room, a second bedroom with a private bathroom, as well as utility and service rooms.
Moving up to the upper levels, between the ground floor and the first floor, there is a refined living area consisting of an kitchen-diner, a wine cellar, a characteristic loggia, a splendid panoramic terrace, a dining room with an attached kitchen, and two elegant bedrooms, both equipped with en-suite bathrooms.

The first floor houses an additional two bedrooms with private bathrooms, one of which is enhanced by an exclusive terrace with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

The majestic medieval tower, on the other hand, hosts a succession of unique rooms: on the second level, a kitchen; on the third and fourth floors, two magnificent panoramic lounges, ideal as reception spaces or relaxation areas. The fifth level includes a connecting hallway, a bathroom, and a laundry room, while the sixth and top floor is dedicated to an extraordinary master bedroom that dominates the surrounding landscape, offering unparalleled views of the Tuscan hills.

Outside, the property is surrounded by approximately 6,500 sq m of private land with an olive grove containing about 300 olive trees, ensuring absolute privacy and a natural setting of rare beauty.

Thanks to its dominant position, historical prestige, and architectural uniqueness, this property represents an extraordinary opportunity for those desiring a private prestige residence, a historical home of the highest level, or an exclusive investment in Italian real estate. An unrepeatable property, where over nine centuries of history meet contemporary luxury, giving life to one of the most fascinating and prestigious residences in Umbria.
