For sale cottage in countryside Massa Martana Umbria

Ancient Abbey and land for sale a few kilometers from Massa Martana, Perugia. The property is located in the green heart of Italy, on the top of the mountain of the Umbrian Apennines. The property is located in a well-known area full of history, between the Montemartano mountains, between the Val Tiberina and Spoleto. An ancient monastery was built, with panoramic views over the valley and extensive grounds with ancient woods and trees. The panorama extends from the Val Tiberina and then the areas of Perugia, Todi and Orvieto to the cities of Assisi, Spoleto, Foligno, Spello and Trevi. The Abbey, built in that area thanks to its strategic position, was built before the year one thousand on the ancient remains of a Roman temple, destroyed and renovated several times. After the First World War, the monastery (now almost destroyed) was bought together with the land by a well-known family, who renovated the property while keeping the original materials intact. The main property, which is spread over two levels, consists of the Chapel, a large room with a beautiful fireplace from the ancient Florentine Renaissance and details of the Gothic style. The property has all the typical features of the Umbrian style, such as exposed wooden beams, ancient fireplaces and exposed façades.
