Villa 5 sovrum, 456 m²

Piegaro, Perugia (provins)

Lake Trasimeno

Contemporary country house of approximately 456 square metres with a spa, heated swimming pool and 10 hectares of land in Piegaro, energy efficiency class A1 REF. PIE371 On the border between Umbria and Tuscany, in a private yet accessible location close to Città della Pieve, Castiglione del Lago, Perugia, Cortona and Montepulciano, La Veranda Country House tells an unusual story: that of a derelict building transformed in 2013 into a high-end contemporary home, designed to be enjoyed in every season with an energy rating of A1 – a standard rarely found in a building of this type and size. The architecture is spread over three levels, designed with total comfort in mind. The ground floor is dominated by a single large open-plan space of approximately 140 square metres that flows seamlessly between the living room with a fireplace, a lounge area with a glazed veranda overlooking the garden, and a fully equipped designer kitchen — from which a pergola-covered terrace with a barbecue opens out onto the surrounding countryside. The dining room, with its long wooden table and direct access to the garden, completes the living area. A bedroom and a bathroom complete this level. On the first floor, four bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, ensure privacy and tranquillity; on the lower level, the farmhouse reveals its more contemporary side: a private spa with sauna and hot tub, a fully equipped fitness room, a laundry room and a spacious double garage, flanked by a state-of-the-art utility room with a heat pump. Around the house lie some 10 hectares of land: meadows, woodland, fruit trees, olive trees, an avenue of cypresses that marks the landscape and the changing seasons, and two hectares entirely planted with lavender — an aromatic and colourful presence that transforms the property into something visually extraordinary during the flowering season. The 12×6-metre swimming pool, lit for evening swims, is elegantly set amongst the greenery. The water supply is provided by a well with an integrated treatment system, supplemented by a cistern for collecting rainwater. A newly installed 7 kW solar panel system, air conditioning and an alarm system complete the technical specifications; the automatic irrigation system serves the garden, the orchard and the embankment surrounding the house, with all its plants and flowers, ensuring well-maintained greenery in every season without any manual intervention. On the land there is a pigsty of approximately 70 square metres, for which an extension plan has already been approved to increase its living space to 200 square metres, with a further 200 square metres of storage and utility rooms — a development that offers those running the farm a real opportunity to create a farm annexe or a second home, significantly expanding the farm’s capacity and versatility. The property is sold fully furnished, in a contemporary style consistent with the architecture, to the very highest standard.
