A spacious stone farmhouse (740 sqm – 7,962 sqft, up to 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms) dating back to the 18th century is located not far from the main complex. The building has been structurally restored, while the roofs have all been replaced and renewed. Electric lines are already been brought to the house, as well as water, and there are plumbing and tubes ready for other systems if needed.
The idea was to convert the building into another guest accommodation, creating a beautiful spa with common areas, while on the upper floors there would have been six generous bedrooms for the guests. Alternatively, the three floors are all accessed from an outside staircase and there is then the possibility of creating three spacious apartments, one on each floor (respectively 305 sqm, 240 sqm and 195 sqm).

EXTERIORS
The property is further enriched by a 9,300-sqm garden, laid over multiple terrace and decorated by colorful flowers and hedges. A short distance from the manorial villa, in a retired but very panoramic position, is the 12 × 6 m swimming pool with terracotta-paved sunbathing area. The buildings are separated by graveled walkways and, walking through the property, it seems like going back to the Middle Ages.
The property then goes beyond the park of the villa and covers a total of 12.1 hectares (29.9 acres), half of which made up of woodland. The remaining area (5.6 ha) is covered in meadows and fields (ideal for vineyards and/or other crops) and includes approximately 290 olive trees that produce excellent olive oil.
The building is the perfect venue for weddings and ceremonies, but is also a good investment for someone looking to buy a private property that doesn’t involve giving up on comforts and amenities.
