Unique Residence in Mantignana with Pool for Sale

A thousand-year-old residence with an area of 1100 m2, transformed into a luxurious agritourism complex, includes 10 apartments and 20 bedrooms, a park, a swimming pool, and a tennis court, is for sale in Perugia.

On the border with Tuscany, just ten minutes northwest of Perugia, among charming historical towns such as Corciano, recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy (only 6 km away), and not far from the picturesque shores of Lake Trasimeno with its islands (15 km), lies this exceptional residence named Santa Maria.

This unique complex rises 280 meters above sea level on a hill, offering stunning views of the Caina River valley. It is surrounded by a private park of 2.3 hectares, fully fenced and immersed in greenery.

The history of this residence dates back to 1100 when a defensive castle was built on the site of a Roman fortification, elements of which can still be seen in the massive natural stone facades that retain the shape of a bastion. Over time, the building underwent changes: in the 16th century, it likely housed a monastery with a church and a refectory, and in the mid-18th century, it was transformed into an elegant four-story country villa adorned with a magnificent three-arch colonnade overlooking a courtyard paved with herringbone-patterned stone. Above the gates to the courtyard, the date 1759 and a ceramic depiction of the Virgin Mary with the Child have been preserved.

The interiors of the villa bear traces of a thousand years of history: vaulted ceilings, some with charming brickwork, others with natural wooden beams in a traditional rustic style. The floors are entirely laid with handmade terracotta tiles. In separate rooms, antique frescoes, altars, and niches have been preserved.

After a careful and respectful restoration, the villa has been equipped with eight apartments featuring 16 bedrooms, as well as a loggia, a spacious office/studio, and utility rooms on the first floor. In the basement, the former monastery refectory has been transformed into a majestic banquet hall with three brick arches and a fireplace—an ideal space for a tavern with a full kitchen, access to the garden, and a restroom.

Next to the bastion, the former barn building has been converted into two additional apartments—each with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The grounds feature: a well-maintained Mediterranean park, a large swimming pool, a well-kept tennis court, a small vineyard with white grape varieties, and an olive grove. The residence is fully ready for living and hosting guests.
