Countryhouse/Farmhouse for sale in Umbria, Te
Casale Le Macee, nestled in the heart of the Tevere Valley Natural Park, between the enchanting towns of Todi and Orvieto, is a 19th-century rural architectural gem. With unique characteristics, it stands as one of the few properties of its kind—just about a dozen—in the area.
The estate has undergone a meticulous and elegant restoration: initially revived in the 1980s by an art gallery owner, it was completely refurbished in 2011 by the current owners with great sensitivity, honoring the history of the location while seamlessly integrating modern comforts.
The main house extends over three levels, featuring three spacious master bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms. The two-story guesthouse offers two additional bedrooms, also with private baths. A charming courtyard—transformed into an intimate and atmospheric terrace during winter—separates the two buildings.
The interior spaces exude timeless charm: the ground floor of the main residence, once used as a stable, is now a bright and expansive area with high ceilings, exposed beams, stone arches, and a grand fireplace as its centerpiece. On the first floor, a cozy living room with a fireplace and three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms provide warmth and privacy. The guesthouse boasts an inviting open-plan living area with kitchen and a terrace commanding breathtaking panoramic views.
The landscaped garden is a serene paradise designed for peaceful moments and social gatherings: blooming courtyards, shaded pergolas, secluded corners, and open views of the surrounding countryside. The pool area, styled like an old fountain basin with a travertine edge, complete with a Jacuzzi and pergola, invites total relaxation.
