Description

This former Benedictine 'abbey' is set amidst fields, usually of golden sunflowers, with views across rolling Umbrian hills. The large farmhouse and apartments, set in extensive gardens, have been carefully renovated to preserve many original features such as beautiful beamed ceilings and terracotta floors. The 13th century chapel has been restored by local craftsmen and has been incorporated visually into one of the bedrooms by means of French windows at first floor level. The main living room has a huge fireplace, beamed ceilings, terracotta floors and opens out onto a large terrace. The cosy living room has a wood burning stove. The entire property has charm and character as you would expect from a building which dates back 900 years. The layout lends itself to easy conversion into one single family house if so desired. The adjacent tobacco tower would convert into a fabulous guest house, studio or other accommodation. The tastefully laid-out grounds of about 5,000sq.m are fenced and include a 6m x 12m swimming pool. La Badia offers elegant living with the opportunity to earn rental income or simply enjoy a spacious and beautiful property yourself. The further opportunities offer great potential and the price has been set realistically to sell.
