Casa Fontanacce
Located in a historic Umbrian town, Casa Fontanacce looks out over olive trees to the wildlife sanctuary at Lago Alviano—a last gathering point of the Tiber before Rome.
Region
Umbria is Italy’s green heart: ancient hill towns, winding roads, dappled light, olives and grapes. Rome and Tuscany are accessible in an hour or two, as are famous beaches like Porto Ecole. Umbria’s ancient towns are full of history and culture, offering an authentic escape for hikers and cyclists. The countrysides are full of spectacular landscapes and restaurants. Architectural attractions abound, incuding Sacro Bosco, La Scarzuola, castles and cathedrals.
Home
Casa Fontanacce is a three-bedroom stone farmhouse with a grand fireplace. It is located a short walk from a grotto where San Francesco slept and beneath an ancient castle which was home to historical figures like Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia. The valley is home to hundreds of olive and fruit trees and an array of wildlife. Exceptional restaurants can be found in the neighboring towns of Guardea, Amelia, Lugnano in Teverina, Orvieto, and Alviano. It includes a dozen olive trees with the opportunity to purchase more.
Price
Casa Fontanacce is being furnished and will be offered at $150,000 or 50% fractional ownership with Progetto for $75,000.
The three-bedroom home projects annual rental revenue of $30,000 after Progetto’s management fee.
Community
The spectacular hillside has a thriving international community of ex-pats and locals, across the picturesque small and mid-sized towns from Orvieto to Amelia. Your neighbors homes are ensconced in their own olive groves, each with hundreds of trees. Once you make some friends, countryside pools and wisteria-covered dinners await—there are ample opportunities for friends and family to visit and rent nearby.
