Antique country home with watch tower in Massa Martana

Nestled in the picturesque countryside, just a short drive from the charming market town of Massa Martana, you'll find Torretta Martana. This meticulously restored home boasts a captivating blend of architectural allure and modern comfort. The property offers breathtaking panoramic views of rolling hills, with Todi, one of Umbria's hidden gems, on the horizon.

Crafted in the traditional style with stone walls and a terracotta-tiled roof, this residence seamlessly combines historic charm with contemporary amenities.

As you step inside, you'll be welcomed by the entrance hall, a space cleverly designed from a former bread oven, preserving its captivating 'bee-hive' vaulted ceiling. This room forms the base of the tower section of the house. It leads into a spacious, brilliantly lit sitting room, featuring a unique glass roof that provides an intriguing glimpse of the tower. The room also includes an inviting open fireplace and offers direct access to a covered terrace, perfect for enjoying "al fresco" living. The modern and functional kitchen/dining room is conveniently adjacent to the sitting room and provides direct access to the gardens.

Towards the rear of the house, all on the ground floor, you'll discover three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite facilities, along with a generously sized family bathroom. (One of these bedrooms currently serves as a studio).

The first floor is accessible via a staircase that leads to an anteroom, off of which is the master bedroom with its en-suite bathroom and access to the two small rooms in the tower. While these tower rooms offer some 'temporary' sleeping space, they are not practical for permanent accommodation. Nevertheless, they contribute to the house's charming and idiosyncratic architectural character.

The property's restoration has been executed with great care, using traditional materials throughout. In some areas, you'll find original ancient wooden ceilings thoughtfully integrated.

Surrounding the house is a beautifully landscaped garden, complete with decorative flower and herb beds, as well as numerous fruit trees. On a lower terrace, a stunning infinity pool beckons you to take a refreshing dip. The property's extensive fenced land covers over 1.75 hectares and features approximately 500 olive trees along with untouched woodlands.

Access to this tranquil retreat is via a well-maintained white road. Massa Martana, the nearest town, is approximately 1.6 kilometers away and offers all the essential amenities.
