La Diga Farm Estate, Città di Castello, Perugia – Umbria
A 148-acre farm estate set in a quiet and uncontaminated area, with 1450 sq m/15607 sq ft of farm buildings to be restored, for sale near Città di Castello, Perugia. Dominating the upper Tevere valley, La Diga farm estate is located at the footsteps of the Apennines on the border between Tuscany and Umbria and its ground consists mainly of irrigated arable land, an extensive coppice forest and a chestnut orchard. The land still conserves the remains of a 19th-century manor farm, which witnessed an important episode of the Resistance in the Second World War, deeply felt and remembered by the local population. Partly preserved, it shows stone facades in natural local stone and arch doors, and some interiors conserve the original serena stone fireplaces and floorings paved with old handcrafted terracotta tiles. The property consists of a farmhouse with three annexes, in a flat area, and a farmhouse with two annexes in a hilly position. The farmhouses once served as stables on the ground floor and living quarters on the upper floors. Within the property is a dam that ensures an inexhaustible water supply. The suggestive location between valleys and hills, forests and open fields makes the La Diga farm estate an excellent property to be developed and transformed in a charming tourist accommodation or as a private residence to live with family and friends.
