A stone manor house with an Etruscan cave and spring, private grounds and views of Monte Cetona, just a short walk from Citt\u00e0 della Pieve REF. CDP331 A few minutes\u2019 walk from the historic centre of Citt\u00e0 della Pieve, following a roughly 2 km dirt track that winds gently upwards through olive groves and the Umbrian countryside, you reach Casale La Grotta, situated 400 metres above sea level, in a completely secluded location with unobstructed views over the valley and the slopes of Monte Cetona, the Tuscan sentinel visible on the horizon. The main stone and brick farmhouse, built in 1900 and partially renovated, spans three storeys covering approximately 295 square metres, plus 45 square metres of terraces and loggias, and an external annexe of approximately 80 square metres requiring renovation \u2014 bringing the total floor area to approximately 379 square metres. The building is surrounded by a lush private park with tall trees and ornamental plants that ensure maximum privacy, creating an oasis of tranquillity nestled between the village and the countryside. On the ground floor, accessible via two separate entrances, lies the large living room with a wood-burning fireplace and large French windows that bathe the space in light and frame the landscape. It is here, in the adjoining kitchen, that the most extraordinary and unique feature of this property is found: an Etruscan cave with a natural spring, integrated into the building\u2019s structure \u2014 a historical artefact of the rarest kind within a private residence, which transforms every moment spent in the kitchen into an unrivalled experience. New flooring on the ground floor, recommended to manage the natural moisture seepage from the spring, is the only work required to bring the farmhouse up to full comfort standards. There is also a bathroom on the ground floor. A beautiful staircase leads up to the first floor, where three bedrooms and a study provide generous, well-proportioned spaces. On the second floor, a further two bedrooms complete the living layout, bringing the total to five bedrooms and four bathrooms. The detached annexe, measuring approximately 80 square metres and to be renovated to suit your needs, offers considerable additional potential for guests, staff or short-term lettings. The property is connected to all utilities: electricity, mains water, independent LPG heating, a telephone line and ADSL broadband. Offering the perfect blend of proximity to the medieval village and immersion in the most authentic Umbrian countryside, Casale La Grotta is a property of exceptional character \u2014 ideal as a permanent private residence, a holiday home or a small guesthouse, in one of the most charming corners of Umbria on the border with Tuscany.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
