La Dimora dei Sogni is situated in a dominating and spectacular position, immersed in the lush Umbrian countryside, offering enchanting views of woods and gentle hills. It is an impressive stone building (800 sqm) constructed in the early 1900s, featuring rather unique architecture for the area. It is located between Gubbio and Umbertide, both about a 25-minute drive away.
The farmhouse includes a total of 11 bedrooms, 4 additional attic rooms, 16 bathrooms, a spacious kitchen, and a wonderful 120 sqm hall. It is also suitable for tourist accommodations and events. The property is surrounded by approximately 2 hectares of private, enclosed land, with ample flat areas ideal for the construction of a swimming pool, a biopond, a tennis court, or for planting fruit trees or a truffle orchard.
The stunning Dimora dei Sogni is located in the most mystical part of Umbria, between the unspoiled hills that separate Umbertide from Gubbio, in a high and very panoramic area. The impressive farmhouse was built in the early 1900s using locally sourced stone blocks, each carved by hand; it spans three levels and possesses beautiful architecture that is unique to the area.
Situated in a very private location, the farmhouse stands in the center of a fenced property of approximately 20,000 square meters, which includes a wooded area with ancient oak trees (with the presence of black truffles) and a large flat area maintained as a lawn, where it would be possible to create a swimming pool, a lake, a tennis court, or other sports facilities. The land also features some olive trees and fruit trees.
The main entrance door to La Dimora dei Sogni is located at the center of the building. Walking down a corridor to the left of the entrance, one is immediately captivated by the beauty of the enormous living room of 120 square meters, with a spectacular wooden truss structure, also characterized by the unique circular copper fireplace; connected to the living room is the spacious kitchen – with a wood-burning pizza oven and a thermal fireplace – from which you can access the pantry and the laundry room. The rest of the ground floor includes, to the right of the entrance, a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a bathroom serving the living area, and additional six bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, as well as a separate technical room.
On the first floor, there are another four bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms; two of these are actually family suites, with an additional connected room. Also on this level, there is a small study.
Finally, on the attic floor, there are four spacious attic rooms, each with its own bathroom.
Overall floor space exceeds 800 square meters.
