About La Magione

A 16th Century elegant Villa immersed in a 4 hectares of land not far from Magione, from Perugia, from Lake Trasimeno. The property has two accesses from the paved road, so no white road to get to the gates, and is completely fenced. As one drives through the main gate a short path leads to a small courtyard on which are located the main annex and the Villa itself. Besides the two buildings just mentioned the property also includes old buildings used as storage and lately also as lemon-house and a cellar where wine was ones made and stored, plus a more recent building dedicated to storing agricultural equipment and vehicles. Overall about 2,000 sqm. of buildings. Of the 4 hectares, 1.5 is a productive olive grove. In general, the remaining land has been partially abandoned as the property is currently not utilized by the owner. The utilities need re-connecting. On the property there is also a swimming pool in need of a complete do up.

Building(s)

The Villa is a three floors building of about 1,000 sqm. The original elegance of the place can still be felt in the house’s rooms with their high ceilings, their old, but smart finishes, their light. Indeed the place suffers the general state of neglect and although structurally sound it requires renovation works including the roof. On the ground floor in one of the corners there is a small chapel. Most of the land develops sloping down from the Villa which had a beautiful garden ‘all’italiana’ now abandoned near which a few decades ago a swimming pool was built. At the back of the Villa a thin and long one floor building once housing storage and lately a lemon-house. This building has an approximate area of about 100 sqm. All the other buildings are located at the back of the Villa. There is recently restored casale in good conditions completely independent of about 350 sqm. which used to house the property guardian. Next to this building there are a big old cellar where once wine used to be produced of about 330 sqm. and a storage for agricultural equipment of about 200 sqm.
