Unique 600-year old watchtower in Umbria close to Spoleto and Assisi for sale. Umbria, Italy's green heart and sibling of close-by Tuscany, has preserved its nativeness, art treasures and outstanding cuisine. The watchtower is situated in panoramic setting on a mountain ridge in a side valley of famous Valnerina and offers breathtaking views towards the mountains and the valley below. The tower's living area stretches on four floors. The building was thoroughly and elaborately restored, incorporating the historic preservation agency's guidelines and features very-well preserved walls in natural stone. While restoring, the tower's statics were renewed, taking contemporary guidelines into account. An extension in natural stone adds considerable flexibility. Well-thought-out interior design created two independent apartments with separate entrances. Now, the property is ideal to be used for holidays or permanent habitation with friends or guests.
