Imagine waking up every morning to a view of the Umbrian hills, just minutes from a vibrant and authentic city. It's not a dream—it's Casale Sambuco.
Built in the 19th century as a hunting lodge and completely renovated in 2020, this authentic stone farmhouse sits on 1,6 hectares of private land with incredible panoramic views, just 2 km from the center of Città di Castello—reachable in just a few minutes via a paved road. There's no compromise between the peace of the countryside and the convenience of everyday life.
The internal spaces
The property offers a total of 256 square meters of living space, divided into four independent units—three in the main farmhouse and an annex—for a total of six bedrooms and five bathrooms. The main farmhouse is divided into three units—two on the ground floor and one on the first floor—each with a living room with kitchenette, private bathroom, and one or two bedrooms. The delightful 36 square meter annex, fully equipped with a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, is ideal for guest accommodation or short-term rentals.
The layout is extremely flexible: with minimal intervention it is possible to create two larger units or a single large master residence—perfect for those looking for a spacious family home without sacrificing the possibility of generating income.
Materials and systems
Original exposed beams, stone walls, and terracotta floors coexist with high-efficiency heat pump heating, thermal insulation, and completely renovated and certified electrical and plumbing systems. The ancient soul of Umbria, without sacrificing modern comforts.
The outdoor spaces
Outside, over 200 square meters of stone-paved courtyard with a barbecue area invites you to enjoy long summer evenings al fresco. The 1,6-hectare private land extends directly in front of the farmhouse, open and charming, also suitable for equestrian or agricultural uses. A renowned equestrian center is located nearby—a discreet yet distinctive added value for those who wish to have animals without having to manage them directly.
A high potential investment
The Città di Castello area is experiencing growing demand on international platforms like Airbnb, fueled by a slow, high-quality tourism trend seeking authenticity, nature, and unique experiences away from the mass tourism. The property, with its independent units, is ideal for flexible and profitable hospitality management.
A distinctive and rare feature is its proximity to a renowned riding stable, a hub for equestrian enthusiasts from across Europe. Horseback riding through the Umbrian hills is an increasingly sought-after experience for international tourists—and having this opportunity literally steps from the property transforms Casale del Sambuco into a destination, not simply a place to stay.
For those seeking a real estate investment in Italy that combines income, lifestyle, and long-term appreciation, this farmhouse represents a real opportunity that is difficult to replicate.
Why Città di Castello? Central Italy's best-kept secret—surrounded by Tuscany, 50 km from Perugia, 100 km from Florence, and 2 hours from Rome.
