I Tramonti di Guardea is a beautiful, recently built villa, combining a traditional Umbrian style with attention to the environment and energy saving. Positioned on an enchanting panoramic hillock, 5 minutes’ walk from the village of Guardea, this property is a rarity to be found in today’s real estate market. With large, bright living spaces, 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a studio, a room in the walk-out basement and a spacious, easy-to-maintain garden, it is a ready-to-live-in solution, in excellent condition and with good rental potential.
Sitting and admiring the magnificent panorama in front of this villa is a very rewarding activity for the eyes and the spirit.
Located no more than a 5-minute walk from the village, Tramonti di Guardea is a property that was entirely rebuilt in 2013, with anti-seismic and energy-saving criteria.
The portion in exposed stone, which echoes the outline of the original old farmhouse that once existed, rises on two levels above ground, while the remaining rendered part of the building is on a single level (in addition to the basement area), making the house well usable even for those who do not like too many stairs.
On the ground floor (170 sqm including walls), there are: entrance hall, two bedrooms, bathroom, study, guest restroom, kitchen, dining room, outdoor porch (30 sq m), living room with fireplace; on the first floor (50 sqm including walls) lies the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom (tub and shower); in the walk-out basement (80 sqm including walls), there is the utility/laundry room and a further room, which currently houses a double bed, with an ensuite bathroom.
The external grounds, of about 3500 square metres, are kept as a lawn, with about twenty olive trees. There is an outdoor hot water Jacuzzi, to enjoy moments of intense relaxation while staring at the wonderful view. It is possible to obtain permission to build a swimming pool.
State of repair
The farmhouse was built from scratch in 2013, using traditional finishes combined with modern, energy-saving systems and installations; it is in excellent condition.
It has chestnut wooden window frames with double glazing and mosquito nets, handmade terracotta floors, beamed and terracotta tiled ceilings, handcrafted chestnut internal doors with latch, travertine bathroom tiles.
