PRATARELLE RENOVATION PROJECT
Perugia-Cannara-Umbria

As the saying goes, “you can change your house, but you can’t change the location,” and this property proves it perfectly. Set atop a hill and immersed in nearly ten hectares of private land with several hundred olive trees, Progetto Pratarelle enjoys breathtaking views over the Umbrian valleys, stretching as far as Assisi and Spello.
The main villa, measuring approximately 380 sqm plus 110 sqm of porticos and 30 sqm of terraces, requires a full renovation. Its exceptional 150 sqm living room, surrounded by French windows on two sides overlooking the valley, is a remarkable feature that truly deserves to be enhanced.
A short distance from the villa there is a wooden annex, rooms below used as a garage and storage room, a swimming pool, and a large shed for agricultural use.

Progetto di ristrutturazione Pratarelle
At the heart of the estate stands a villa originally built in the 1970’s by a local architect. Although the property requires a full renovation, the existing volume – 380 sqm plus a magnificent 110 sqm porch – and the location offer exceptional potential, a rare opportunity in such a privileged setting.
The villa currently features a spacious living area on the ground floor (150 sqm), with a separate kitchen, entrance, and bathroom. The upper floor includes four bedrooms and three additional bathrooms.
The estate also includes a distinctive chalet-style outbuilding – in need of renovation – with a wooden structure. This building houses a one-bedroom unit with living area, kitchen, and bathroom.
The lower level provides ample space for storage or multi-purpose use, with the possibility of conversion into a garage or workshop.
Additionally, the property benefits from a large 100 square meter canopy/barn and an existing swimming pool, which currently requires a complete renovation.
The approximately 10-hectare land – 25 acres – is beautifully varied, featuring several hundred century-old olive trees, gentle lawns cascading down the slope, and a wooded area, creating an ideal environment for both relaxation and small-scale cultivation.

State of repair

Pratarelle has a mixed load-bearing structure of reinforced concrete and masonry, with construction dating back to the 1970s. A complete renovation is required for the structure, systems, and finishes, both on the main building and the ancillary structures as well as the swimming pool.

Utilities

All systems require complete refurbishment.
The property is served by electricity, with a private well as water supply.
