Santa Maria – Historic fortified residence with resort, swimming pool and park, for sale near Perugia

In a dominant position 280 meters above sea level, among the Umbrian hills, just 10 minutes from Perugia and on the border with Tuscany, Santa Maria is a prestigious historic property dating back to the 12th century, now transformed into a charming resort with an agritourism license, immersed in a private park of approximately 2.8 hectares.

Once a defensive castle built in 1100 on the remains of a Roman fortification, Santa Maria has passed through the centuries, first transforming into a convent in the 16th century, then into an elegant country villa in the 18th century. The internal courtyard, paved in herringbone terracotta and embellished with a colonnaded portico, still preserves the tile with the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus and the engraved date of 1759, authentic testimonies of its noble past.

The interiors preserve original architectural details: vaulted or wooden beamed ceilings, handmade terracotta floors, frescoes and ancient altars, expertly restored and integrated into a complex now divided into 10 apartments for a total of 20 bedrooms.

The main villa houses 8 apartments (16 bedrooms), a loggia, a study/office and various technical rooms; in the basement, the ancient refectory has been converted into a welcoming tavern with banquet hall, fireplace, equipped kitchen and direct access to the garden.

The former barn, in a slightly detached position, has been transformed into 2 additional apartments, each with two bedrooms.

Outside, the fenced park of 2.8 hectares embraces the property offering an olive grove, a small white grape vineyard, a panoramic swimming pool in a sunny position and a tennis court, all with a splendid view of the Caina river valley.

A timeless property, perfect as a private residence or charming accommodation facility, close to the services and the artistic and natural wonders of Umbria and Tuscany.
