A Restored Medieval Village on 91 Acres in Umbria, Italy Listed for €12.5 Million
Set between Umbria and Tuscany, this restored medieval village has been reimagined as a private country estate with remarkable potential.
Located just five minutes from local amenities and within easy reach of Perugia, Città di Castello, and Cortona, the estate lies in one of Italy’s most quietly coveted regions. Often called the green heart of Italy, Umbria offers the rolling landscapes and golden-stone villages one associates with Tuscany, but without its seasonal crowds.
Estates such as Reschio, on the Tuscany–Umbria border, have redefined the region’s appeal to well-heeled buyers—millennia-old farmhouses restored to architectural perfection, complete with equestrian centres, organic farms, and discreet service. Its success underscores why this property is so exceptional: Umbria offers the design-rich, heritage-estate formula of Tuscany—without the tourist footprint.
Whether envisioned as a multi-residence retreat, boutique resort, or private family compound, this Umbrian hamlet represents a rare opportunity to own a living fragment of Italian history—where ancient architecture and modern infrastructure meet under the Umbrian sun.
Spanning more than 75 acres in the Tiber Valley, the property encompasses a 9th-century settlement with a Romanesque church and nineteen stone houses, each with private gardens, set along cobbled lanes and intimate piazzas surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, and truffle-rich woodland.
Seven of the residences have been fully restored using authentic materials and modernized with environmental awareness, while the remaining structures await interior completion—offering flexibility to shape the design and function to one’s vision.
Highlights include a shared infinity pool and spa area overlooking the Umbrian hills, a tennis court framed by cypresses, and two private lakes that support irrigation across the extensive grounds.
The restoration preserved the borgo’s medieval integrity through anti-seismic reinforcement and the reuse of historic stone and cladding. At its center, a 12th-century church and stone turret still mark the heart of this once-fortified village—now reborn for the 21st century.
