THE TORRE DELLA JACCERA
One of the property's most valuable features is the historic Torre della Jaccera, a remarkable medieval tower that stands as a testament to Torgiano's rich history.
Its name recalls an ancient icehouse, likely linked to its exposure towards the Apennine Mountains, from where the coldest winter winds would arrive.
The tower is an authentic historical and architectural treasure. It currently requires careful restoration, offering the opportunity to further enhance one of the property's most distinctive and fascinating features.
PROPERTY CONDITION
The residence is fully habitable and reflects the characteristics of a property renovated during the 1980s, while preserving its original charm and historic character.
To fully realise its exceptional potential, the interiors would benefit from a programme of modernisation, allowing the future owner to tailor the property to contemporary standards, whether as a prestigious private residence or a luxury hospitality business.
An important added value is the roof, which was completely replaced approximately 15 years ago, providing a solid foundation for any future enhancement project.
