Description
This charming country house, measuring 485 sqm (5220.5ft²) and recognizable by its striking blue shutters and authentic wooden arched doorway, is situated on a sprawling estate covering no less than 16.7 hectares (41.267ac). The location offers a rare combination of absolute privacy, tranquility, and easy accessibility. The estate is accessed via a private driveway lined on both sides by olive and fruit trees. The house offers an abundance of space. The ground floor (approx. 260 sqm - 2798.6ft²) is accessible via multiple entrances and includes a large entryway, a living room with a fireplace, a cozy kitchen, a dining room, and a library (with a tiled stove that heats both rooms), a restroom, a laundry room, and three practical storage rooms. The guest room (approx. 32 sqm - 344.45ft²) with its own bathroom and terrace is accessed via the courtyard. On the first floor, which measures approximately 225 sqm (2421.9ft²) (accessible via the wooden interior staircase or the stone exterior staircase), there are four more bedrooms with plenty of natural light, three bathrooms—two of which are en suite—and an additional study. In addition, this floor features two beautiful rooftop terraces offering sweeping views of the estate. Finally, the basement (approx. 35 sqm - 376.74ft²) features a cool room (“Cantina”), which is ideally suited as a storage area or wine cellar. The authentic charm of the interior is accentuated by the carefully preserved natural stone and brick walls, the authentic wooden ceiling beams, and the characterful terracotta and tile floors. The surrounding grounds offer a variety of opportunities for outdoor activities and relaxation, with beautiful hiking and horseback riding trails and challenging mountain bike routes. Surrounding the house are comfortable terraces featuring distinctive paving made of terracotta in a classic herringbone pattern or irregular natural stone. For lovers of delicious pizza, a brick wood-fired oven is available. Thanks to the favorable southwest-facing location, you can enjoy the sun here all day long. The estate also features a 14 x 7 m (1054.9ft²) covered swimming pool (2.6 meters - 8.53 foot deep) with an additional shower area and a small pond with an artesian well. From the terraces by the pool and around the house, you have a sweeping and beautiful view of the private grounds, which include an olive grove, meadows, and woods. The estate is particularly well-suited for horse lovers, thanks to three full-sized horse stalls and a paddock of approximately 160 sqm (1722.2ft²) that also features a sauna. Adjacent to this are the parking area and the covered garage (3 parking spaces). The estate is also well-equipped with all the essential technical amenities for modern and comfortable living. The central heating system with radiators is connected to a 900-liter gas tank, while solar collectors provide hot water. Drinking water is pumped from the property’s own well (21 m – 68.90 foot) deep) and purified by a filtration system; wastewater is disposed of via a septic tank. Finally, a fast and reliable internet connection can be easily established at this location via a satellite connection (Starlink).
