Originally built as the coach house for the magnificent Villa Cardinale, Torre di Cardinale has, over the years, been transformed from a utilitarian building to a wonderfully eccentric, at least externally, home.

Restored by its present owners, the main house offers 3 double bedrooms, each with ensuite or adjacent bathrooms, modern kitchen, large dining room and spacious sitting room. There is also a useful laundry/utility room. In the tower, which is accessed independently, a granny flat is nearing completion. For those who don’t suffer from heights, a climb to the top of the tower will be rewarded with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside.

Within the fully fenced grounds, there is an attractive barn that could be converted to create a guesthouse, and a modernish stable block. The land amounts to some 1.7 hectares on which there are over 100 mature olive trees.

A 12x6 mt. swimming pool is planned, and the construction and completion, including landscaping of this is included in the asking price.

Domestic water is supplied from a spring at present, but mains water will be connected in the very near future. A supply of water for garden irrigation can be obtained from a large lake close by as the owners have rights of extraction.

The property is centrally heated and a telephone line is connected.

The access is excellent. Perugia is just 20 minutes away by car. The E45 and the Perugia/Bettole (for access to the A1) motorways are also minutes away. Local shopping would be Mantignana or Perugia itself.
