The Umbrian hills around Città della Pieve continue to attract buyers seeking a rural lifestyle paired with easy access to services. In this overview we present two distinct country properties located a short drive from the historic town: one larger stone casale with a productive uliveto (olive
grove) and a separate dependance to renovate, and a second country house with an existing pool, guest accommodation and a compact productive plot. Both options blend traditional materials such as stone facades and terracotta floors with opportunities for modernization.
Each property comes with different starting points in terms of surface area, agricultural yield and renovation needs, so they suit different buyers — from families looking for a private country residence to investors
aiming to develop short-stay hospitality. Below we break down the main features, outdoor resources and technical aspects to help you evaluate which estate matches your plans, whether you envision an intimate private retreat or an agritourism project leveraging a working olive grove.
Property highlights
The two listings share a rural setting, privacy and historically inspired architecture, yet they diverge in scale and ready-to-use amenities. One property is offered
under reference CP437 at €690,000 and emphasizes a larger landholding with a high number of productive olive trees and a sizeable stone-built main house. The other, marketed as CDP3187 at €495,000, presents a partly restored country house with a swimming pool, guest apartment and several useful outbuildings on a smaller plot. Both are within convenient distance to Città della Pieve and appeal to buyers prioritizing landscape views and seclusion.
Casale CP437: larger estate with extensive olive grove
The first property, listed as CP437, features a main stone-and-brick casale of about 300 m² spread over three levels and retains traditional finishes such as exposed stone, terracotta flooring and wooden beam ceilings. Interior highlights include a spacious living room with a classic fireplace, a dining area opening onto a covered portico, and an antique external wood-fired oven designed for convivial outdoor meals. The land totals roughly 2 hectares and includes roughly 100 mature olive trees in production, combining private garden areas, hedges and a pocket of woodland. A separate dependance of about 70 m² needs complete renovation and can be converted into guest accommodation; the plot also allows for installing a swimming pool to enhance appeal.
Country house CDP3187: compact estate with pool and annexes
The second property, reference CDP3187, comprises a principal stone farmhouse of approximately 217 m² over two floors plus annexes bringing the total built area to about 315 m². The estate sits on about 4,120 m² (roughly one acre) and contains 7 olive trees in production. Outdoor amenities include a 72 m² swimming pool with Roman steps and two separate outbuildings: a former agricultural hut partly converted into a one-bedroom guest apartment and storage rooms, and a smaller building housing a garage and cellar. The property is partly restored but still requires modernization; heating is provided by LPG and fireplaces, and utilities include mains water, electricity and an Imhoff tank for waste.
Land, outbuildings and agricultural potential
Both estates present agricultural and leisure potential. The larger casale with its approximately 100-plant olive grove offers a meaningful annual yield of quality oil that can support private use or be integrated into an agritourism model. The smaller property, with fewer trees but an existing pool and guest apartment, is immediately suited to holiday rentals after updating. Outbuildings on each property permit flexible conversions: guest suites, staff accommodation or additional hospitality services. Fencing, lighting and existing garden structuring simplify immediate outdoor use while leaving scope for expansion.
Condition, utilities and purchase considerations
Condition varies: the CP437 casale is generally sound but benefits from targeted upgrades to optimize comfort and systems, while CDP3187 is described as partly recovered and needs further modernization. Technical installations differ: CP437 has diesel-fed radiators supplemented by a wood-burning thermocamino, while CDP3187 relies on LPG heating plus fireplaces; both properties have mains water and electrical connections. Energy performance is noted as class G for one listing, so buyers should factor renovation and energy improvements into budgets. With asking prices of €690,000 and €495,000, respectively, each estate offers a distinct balance of land, built fabric and immediate income potential for private buyers or investors seeking rural Umbrian properties near Città della Pieve.
