Bauernhaus Zu Verkaufen

In the Municipality of Tivoli, but in the immediate vicinity of the A24 Castel Madama motorway exit, just 30 km from Rome, Christie’s International Real Estate - Rome Exclusive - is pleased to offer for sale a one-of-a-kind property. It is an estate with a surface area of approximately 5 hectares within the area of the ancient Roman aqueduct ”Anio Novus”, with an overlying stone farmhouse of approximately 500 internal square meters plus accessories and characterized by the presence of a bio-lake suitable for swimming.

The ”Anio Novus” (”New Aniene” from which it takes its name), also known as the Aqua Claudia aqueduct, was built by Caligula in 38 AD and completed by Claudius in 52 AD and collected the waters of the entire Aniene valley.

The farmhouse, dating back to 1400 and partly adhering to the structure of the aqueduct, was completely renovated in 2013, using materials and finishes that integrated as much as possible with the historical and naturalistic context of the place.

The exposed stone facade and the external travertine flooring in fact recall the typical materials of the area. Inside we find rooms characterized by double heights, exposed wooden beams, large windows with glimpses of the aqueduct and the bucolic context.

Currently the farmhouse, arranged on 4 levels and served by an internal lift, is used as a location for large events as it has a large professional steel kitchen perfectly organised and equipped with food racks on each floor, two ovens (gas and wood) and all the necessary high-level equipment as well as 5 restaurant rooms for a total of approximately 250 seats between the ground floor and the first floor.

On the S1 floor there is a second kitchen with a technical room and a wine cellar, while on the P2 there is a suite with an internal bathroom. In the paved area in front of the farmhouse it is possible to accommodate an additional 300 seats. The property also includes a second building of smaller size, developed on a single floor above ground, of about 55 square meters that can be used, depending on the needs, as an outbuilding or as a warehouse for equipment reserved for the outside.

The peculiarity of the vast outdoor space surrounding the property is the presence of a bio-natural swimming lake, whose water is pure without the use of chemical agents as it is naturally fed by the water of an ancient Etruscan spring, whose replacement occurs naturally through a phytodepuration system and the flow of excess water towards a tributary of the Aniene that flows nearby.

Since the lake is perfectly integrated into the natural context of the place, a biodiversity ecosystem has been naturally recreated, characterised by flora and fauna typical of lake areas.

The property is currently ready to be used as a location for large events, also considering the current intended use (D/10) and given the large size of the internal and external spaces, but at the same time it can easily be restored to its residential use in order to be used as a high-level residence.
