CASALE BATTIFOLLE

Casale Battifolle is a 145 sqm farmhouse, renovated with excellent materials in 2019. The Casale sits on a ridge with a splendid panoramic view, with striking glimpses of the historic villages that dominate the surrounding hills. The property is accessed via a well-maintained gravel road of just 150 metres. Once inside the wooden gate, your gaze is immediately caught by the beauty of the Mediterranean garden, set in the 2,000 square metres of outdoor space, which also includes paved paths, a green lawn and fruit trees, in a swirl of colours and scents. The garden overlooks the panorama, offering evocative views. The hydro-massage swimming pool is located on a higher terrace, to ensure greater privacy; small in size, it recalls, in terms of characteristics and design, an ancient Roman pool. A pergola surrounded by climbing plants offers a panoramic outdoor living space and a natural connection with the interior, leading directly to the kitchen. The living room immediately impresses with the cosy atmosphere it instils, with the suspended staircase in solid wood providing a design touch. A fireplace in typical Umbrian style is positioned in the lounge. From the living room, there is access to an outdoor porch, perfect for al fresco dining (20 sqm), which can be closed off with glass windows to make it an additional living area. On the ground floor there is also a bedroom/study, with ensuite bathroom completely redone with top quality materials. Going upstairs, a charming corridor leads to a first double bedroom, perfect for guests. The second, larger double bedroom has a traditional fireplace inside and independent external access via the traditional external staircase. The bathroom on the upper floor, which is larger, has the same finish as the one below. With access from the outside, there is also a storage/laundry room at the rear of the farmhouse, the technical room and the traditional outdoor bread/pizza oven, located near the front pergola. The property can be extended by a further 100 square metres; a project to enlarge the living room, already approved at a previous time by the municipality of Todi, is available.
