Traditional stone former farmhouse dating back to the 1800s, perfectly restored, with a hay barn, truffle-ground and olive grove for sale in San Leo Bastia, Perugia. A short distance from the border with Tuscany, 320 m above sea level, San Leo Bastia is an ancient medieval place, surrounded by unspoiled woods, overlooking the Pierli valley, with local community activities all year round with its truffle and mushroom festivals, the Carnival Masquerade and the Palio delle Torri organised by the village youths. With private access and surrounded by 4 hectares of private land with woods, centuries-old oaks, olive groves, a walnut grove and even a truffle reserve, Casale Le Pietre Vive is a former farmhouse dating back to the late 1800s, magnificently renovated into an elegant country residence where the raw stone of the façades, the natural stone of the stairways and loggias, the courtyard and all door and window frames, create a rustic and charming atmosphere. The old stable has been converted into a living room with an imposing brick arch and a stone fireplace opening onto a large porch overlooking a landscaped lawn garden. On the ground floor is an independent residence with direct access to the garden, while the two staircases with loggia on opposite sides of the house lead to two further apartments on the first floor with rooms full of natural light. All residences are different in style while preserving the original structure, and feature wooden double-glazed windows and French doors, living rooms with stone fireplaces, hand-made terracotta floors, and high ceilings with exposed wooden beams. The old barn has been converted and boasts typical brick walls and wall-size windows overlooking the terrace and garden, it consists of an open room with a fireplace and private bathroom. With the possibility of building an in-ground swimming pool, the garden has been bordered by cypress trees, fragrant plants, and landscaped with an interesting exhibition of the ancient equipment used over the centuries by local farmers. Due to its enchanting location, Casale Le Pietre Vive is an oasis of peace and quiet, ready-to-move-in and perfect to live with the family or to host tourists for their holidays discovering the best of central Italy.
