A winding road climbs the hillside through a corridor of ancient trees, revealing a timeworn stone villa that has watched centuries unfold from its panoramic perch above the Nestore Valley. Villa dell’Antica Torre, a rare 17th-century treasure, invites restoration and revival—offering dreamers and preservationists a chance to bring new life to an extraordinary piece of Umbrian heritage.
Anchored by twin circular towers, one rising high to hold a 360° panoramic terrace, the villa exudes the stoic romance of a bygone era. Here, wood-beamed ceilings and worn terracotta tiles tell stories of simpler times. Though weathered by age, the soul of the property remains intact, waiting for the right hands to shape its next chapter.
Spread over four levels, the villa’s 220 m² layout includes:
- A basement kitchen and woodshed with independent entrance
- A ground-floor living room and bathroom
- Two upper floors featuring 5 bedrooms and 2 additional bathrooms
- A spiral staircase winding through the tower to a petite terrace with uninterrupted views over olive groves, forests, and medieval rooftops
Beyond its walls, 5 hectares of private land roll gently across forested hills and open clearings, offering ample space for gardens, orchards—or even a swimming pool, pending permits. A 2,000 m² formal garden area near the villa provides the perfect backdrop for alfresco dining or quiet mornings among the olive trees.
Highlights:
- Historic 17th-century architecture with original terracotta floors and wood-tile ceilings
- Private 5-hectare estate with forest and potential for a pool
- Just 30 minutes from Perugia and Lake Trasimeno
- Quiet countryside setting, yet only 5 km from everyday amenities in Compignano
- Convenient access to Umbria’s and Tuscany’s most celebrated hill towns
Whether you envision a private country home, a boutique hospitality project, or a refined rental escape in the Umbrian hills, Villa dell’Antica Torre holds the potential to become a sanctuary of timeless beauty—steeped in culture, kissed by the sun, and poised for reinvention.
