A 250-square-meter casale, renovated with its roof, attics, and load-bearing structure to earthquake standards, is located in the village of Catinelli, in the heart of the ancient Terre Arnolfe, in the hills between Spoleto and Terni. The farmhouse extends over three levels and has three entrances, offering buyers the opportunity to personalize it with a bespoke renovation, using materials and systems that reflect the owner’s personality.

This casale is currently unfinished, with a massive exposed original stone structure and chestnut beams that lend the whole property a timeless atmosphere.

An ideal solution for those who want to leave the daily grind behind and indulge in moments of relaxation far from the hustle and bustle of cities and modern civilization.

Catinelli is a place of unique beauty; it must be seen to understand and absorb its magic. It is an unreal place that seems to belong to a rocky, lunar planet, a haven for the soul where you can immerse yourself in nature. Once here, everything fades away, reality fades, and your gaze soars beyond the clouds, over the bell tower of the little church perched on the rock, atop the white rocks that terrace the final stretch of mountain.

Around, a concert of cicadas mingles with the scent of mint and wild herbs, amidst endless pine forests, chestnut groves, and truffle grounds. Here, even the houses are built of stone, drawing lifeblood and beauty from it, right down to the rooms that preserve the farmers’ mangers and wall pantries.

Few people know Catinelli, especially foreigners in love with these remote places and hikers who, on foot, horseback, or mountain bike, devour kilometers of marked trails and itineraries. But not only that, because caving enthusiasts come from all over the world to explore the Chiocchio Cave, a true highlight for lovers of the earth’s bowels. Once you’re here, you’ll never want to leave, for fear of breaking the spell of simplicity and magic that transports you centuries back to another world, where, through a strange alchemy of the senses, you long to stay, or at least return.

The casale for sale, perched on a rocky outcrop, features a private courtyard surrounding it, offering the possibility of creating open spaces to fully enjoy the breathtaking views of the woods and valleys of the Umbrian hills.
