Podere Sassone

Built on the remains of a 17th century Umbrian farmhouse, this unique modern villa respects the past while embracing the future

Podere Sassone is a newly built, four-bedroom, five-bathroom country villa. Designed by a well-known modern architect, it sits on the site of a 17th century farmhouse in the countryside near Marsciano.

The house respects traditional Umbrian architecture while the interior, with its double-height reception room, is finished in a light, modern style. Each detail has been carefully considered and the sight lines through the property offer exceptional framed views of the surrounding landscape. Three of the bedrooms are on the ground floor with doors to the terrace, while the principal suite is on the first floor.

The infinity pool sits in front of the house, putting the view front and centre, to be enjoyed from a lounger or at the table on the veranda.

The property’s location, just off a quiet country road that leads from Marsciano to San Vernanzo, offers both easy access and guaranteed privacy. Marsciano has a good choice of shops and restaurants and Todi, a beautiful medieval town, is only ten minutes further on.

Kitchen

The modern-style kitchen is on the ground floor and has double doors out to the veranda. Expertly equipped - there's even a professional slicing machine - there is lots of cupboard space and a central island that houses the gas hob. There is a chimney on the veranda which includes an open oven, perfect for roasts.

Living rooms

The open-plan sitting and dining room are connected to the kitchen. Part double-height, the modern design includes a large corner fireplace that can also be used to cook on in the colder months.

Outside

Podere Sassone is surrounded by olive groves, woodland and rolling fields. Set back from a quiet country road, the drive curls round a hedge and opens up in front of the house where there is plenty of space for parking and electric charging points. From the other side of the house, the well-maintained garden is bordered by mature trees and blends into the surrounding fields. A saltwater, heated infinity pool (5.5m x 11m) with a paved surround sits in front of the main terrace where there is a chimney with a raised fireplace for cooking. There are uninterrupted views from the sitting room, kitchen and bedrooms over the pool to the hills beyond, in the centre of which is Rotecastello, a medieval hamlet that is beautifully lit at night.
