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 interiors—centred around a striking double-height reception room—are finished in a light, contemporary style. Every detail has been carefully considered, with long sight lines throughout the home creating exceptional, framed views over the surrounding landscape.

Outside, the infinity pool takes pride of place in front of the villa, putting the panorama front and centre—equally enjoyable from a lounger or from the veranda’s dining area.

Importantly, Podere Sassone is currently rented out with excellent results, making it not only a beautiful private home but also a proven, income-generating asset. It offers a genuine opportunity for hassle-free ownership, with the option to continue the successful rental activity and further enhance the property’s positioning over time.

The location—just off a quiet country road connecting Marsciano and San Venanzo—combines convenient access with guaranteed privacy. Marsciano offers a good selection of shops and restaurants, while Todi, one of Umbria’s most beautiful medieval towns, is only ten minutes further on.

Outside

Podere Sassone is surrounded by olive groves, woodland and rolling fields.

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.
