Elceta Project

Nestled high in the Umbrian hills, this expansive property offers a rare opportunity to create a bespoke country villa in an unrivalled setting.

Elceta Project is a large estate in the Umbrian hills that includes a traditional stone farmhouse, an outbuilding currently in ruins, and 34 hectares of private land dominated by a mature, terraced olive grove.

This is a significant restoration project for investors and dreamers alike, offering a blank canvas to create a custom-built country retreat with unparalleled privacy and spectacular valley views. Perched at an elevated vantage point, the property commands sweeping uninterrupted views that stretch to Perugia, Mount Subasio and Assisi.

The main building is a classic, two-storey stone farmhouse featuring a traditional, terracotta tiled roof and charming green shutters. While the structure retains its authentic character, a comprehensive restoration is required to bring it in line with modern living standards. The footprint offers ample space for a generous family home or a boutique country villa.

There is a second building just behind the main farmhouse. While currently a ruin with just a footprint of stone and brick walls and a partially intact roof, this structure offers an incredible opportunity to create an annex that could be used as a guest cottage, an artist’s studio or a pool house.

The olive grove is the jewel in Elceta’s crown: meticulously terraced, the trees cover a large area of hillside, hugging the contours on the way up to the house. This offers guaranteed privacy and a stunning evergreen landscape, as well as an opportunity to produce your own private-label olive oil.

The starting price of EUR 2.0 mio includes the total cost of a turn-key project: construction (renovation, restoration or building from new, as applicable), all finishes (including tech and service systems, a swimming pool, landscaping and planting), technical fees (such as architect, engineer, surveyor), all interior and exterior furniture and decoration; to quote SpecialItaly project & design services.
