&Nbsp This
Charming ancient abbey with a natural Etruscan spring is a complex of historic buildings
surrounded by 3-hectare fenced park   with
a swimming pool and accessible by 4 gates and includes additional 3 hectares of
agricultural land and woodland.  A
magical and peaceful place, where 
history and nature are combined sublimely.  Set in
an astonishing location on top of a hill with a panoramic view over the lake
and just an hour's drive north of Rome, from the Etruscans to the Romans, this
property has been an important landmark for almost more than 2500 years as
shown by the Etruscan caverns discovered underneath the villa.Most of
its precious findings are currently exposed in a museum in Orvieto.  The
hand-made terracotta floors in contrast with the white monastery walls, the
high ceilings with exposed wooden beams, and the magnificently restored
original stones, some preserving amazing century-old marks, create a charming
contrast throughout. &Nbsp The
Property has been recently equipped with solar panels, a gym, and a sauna and
it offers two separate residencies within the ex-monastery and tower housing with
beautiful living areas with fireplaces and a total of 6 bedrooms along with a
separate one-bedroom cottage. The
Property includes also a pigsty and warehouse stone barn to be restored with a
large potential use. The
Plot of land surrounding the building boasts a garden landscaped with fountains
and water springs, trees, Mediterranean shrubs, a panoramic terrace facing
stunning views of the surrounding countryside, and a modern rectangular shape
swimming pool featuring a stone wall waterfall and a sun deck.A
five-seat carport roofed with solar panels and a separate building with garage
and hobby rooms are also included. The
Private land consist of an orchard with 
olive trees, hazelnut trees,woods, and arable land, partly fenced,
suitable for horse paddocks and tracks. &Nbsp Thanks

Architecture
and history of the abbey:
Thanks to its strategic
position, the site was initially inhabited by the Etruscans. In Roman times the
Cassia directly crossed the property. In the Middle Ages a mighty defense tower
marked the border between the Papal State and the Medici sphere of influence in
Florence. The
Ancient 5-storey fortified tower is today only 2 storeys high, but is clearly
recognizable by its 1.5 m thick walls and barrel vaults. In the years preceding
the Council of Trent a monastic complex was built. After
Secularization the buildings were used for agricultural purposes and came into
the possession of the noble Bracci/Testa-Secca family. In 1980
the Bega architecture studio of Milan renovated the buildings that exist today,
having been purchased by the sister of the famous architect Melchiorre Bega.The
current owner purchased Santa Maria della Concezione in 1997. Over
The years the technical standards have been constantly updated but without
changing the signature of the Bega house.
