This is very much a ruin, but the condition of the property is reflected in its asking price. Once restored, it’ll provide a compact house with a nice sized garden and fine views over the Umbrian hills. The town of Pietralunga is a mere 9 km away along good flat roads so the site has easy access for all the necessities of life.

What you get for your money currently is not even four walls, however given the limited availability of unrestored case coloniche these days, it’s not to be wondered at. It sits at the centre of its land, which is not always the case, and has superb potential.

Pietralunga is an unspoilt town in the north-east corner of Umbria, centrally located between Roman Città di Castello and medieval Gubbio. The perfect city of Urbino is just 65 km away across the hills. This is truffle country and, unsurprisingly, Pietralunga has a truffle festival every October. Highly recommended!
