The building (330 sqm, 5 bedrooms) has been finely restored in recent years and maintains all of its charm while offering all the modern comforts. The 4,000-sqm garden, well maintained, houses a 10 × 5 m swimming pool with a stone-paved sunbathing area. Basic services are available in the nearby town of Monte Santa Maria Tiberina (restaurants, post office, grocery shop) and Gioiello (supermarket, pharmacy). The first city with all the services is Citta di Castello (16km; 25') but several centers of Tuscany and Umbria can be reached in less than two hours by car (Citta di Castello, Anghiari, Arezzo, Perugia, Cortona, Assisi, Montepulciano, Siena, Florence:). The country house (330 sqm - 3,551 sqft, 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) is the result of a careful renovation of an old rectory attached to the church of St. Lorenzo, no longer consecrated. During the renovation only reclaimed materials have been used to recover the old building, only replacing the missing ones with high-quality modern replicas that closely resemble the original. The result is a stunning and charming country house that retains its original look with wooden beams, terracotta floors and original stone fireplaces while also being provided with the best modern comforts such as a fully equipped kitchen and generous bathrooms tiled in marble. Heating, fed by LPG, is located under the floor offering better energy efficiency and a uniform temperature inside the building. The church, no longer consecrated, has been fully restored and still exhibits parts of the original frescoes on the walls. At the back end of the hall is still the original wooden altar, fully restored and valorized as a fundamental part of the church. From a door at the corner of the country house, one finds himself into the entry of the building with a stone staircase leading to the upper floors. Right in front of the entrance door is an office space with a bathroom, a room that could easily be converted into a fifth bedroom. On the left, beyond the staircase, one enters the spacious living room made up of a kitchen with pantry and a living/dining room with a fireplace. On the right side of the entry is a cozy reading room that leads in turn to the old church (45 sqm - 484 sqft) that has been converted into a very welcoming living room. With separate access from outside, on the poolside, is a technical room and an oven. Back to the entry, the stone staircase leads to the upper floor where one can find the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a second bedroom with a private bathroom and two more bedrooms sharing a bathroom. Going further up the staircase one can reach the lofts (85 sqm - 915 sqft), technically non-habitable but easily convertible into a series of playrooms for both children and adults. Outside, the country house is surrounded by a well-maintained 4,000-sqm fenced garden with a graveled avenue and a pool area. On the rear of the building is a spacious dining area, covered in gravel, ideal for pleasant outdoor moments and dinners in the welcoming summer climate of Umbria. The 10 × 5 m swimming pool is located on the left side of the country house, surrounded by a stone-paved sunbathing area and partially shaded by the surrounding trees. The pool is equipped with a heating system and salt depuration. All around, the property boasts further 5.5 hectares of land, half of which is covered in mixed and coppice woodland (2.9 ha) while the remaining surfaces are registered as arable and grazing land (2.6 ha), albeit nowadays partially covered in trees and bushes. Access to the country house is granted by a well-maintained unpaved road (roughly 2 km) that keeps going after the property to reach only two more properties, ensuring great privacy and little to no traffic.
