Elegant Farmhouse For Sale In The Castelli Romani Area

Adjacent to the archaeological site of the ancient Latin city of Gabii, a significant protohistoric center of Latium Vetus, and a stretch of the famous Via Francigena (adjacent to the property), in the municipality of Monte Compatri, just 20 km from Rome, Christie’s International Real Estate – Rome Exclusive is pleased to offer for sale a fully renovated farmhouse with an adjoining wooded park of approximately 2 hectares. The ancient settlement of Gabii played a strategic role in controlling the Aniene, Sacco, and Liri valleys, establishing itself as an important political and cultural hub before the rise of Rome. Today, it is one of the principal archaeological sites in the Municipality of Rome, with approximately 70 hectares of suburban archaeological park characterized by an exceptional state of preservation of the ancient structures, favored by the lack of construction since the site was abandoned in the 11th century.

The property, elevated above the driveway and with a direct view of the archaeological site, is currently used as a venue for large events and weddings. The interior is divided as follows: on the ground floor, with direct access from the paved courtyard, are two large, interconnecting living rooms with two large stone fireplaces, currently used as a restaurant with two bathrooms. On the first floor, accessible via two separate external staircases, are two completely independent apartments, perfectly mirrored in each other. They are arranged on two levels and each internally divided into: a living room with fireplace, built-in kitchenette, two bedrooms, two bathrooms on the entrance level, as well as a large attic bedroom with bathroom and a mezzanine living space accessible via a convenient wooden staircase. The property underwent a thorough and complete renovation and structural consolidation, completed in 2012. The finishes and materials used, all top-quality and of the highest quality, include: terracotta flooring throughout, natural stone cladding, double-glazed wooden window frames, mosquito nets, iron gates and grilles, hot/cold air conditioning, a burglar-proof and volumetric alarm system, cobblestone paving, an automated outdoor lighting and irrigation system, etc. Outside, the property features a brick oven and a meticulously maintained garden with a lawn, mature trees, ornamental plants, and approximately 50 highly productive olive trees. At the property’s driveway, there is a large parking area (approximately 60 cars) as well as a dedicated helicopter landing pad.

Please note that all materials and finishes used were selected to maintain and safeguard the historic character of the location where the property is located, integrating perfectly with the context.

The property is ready to continue being used as an event venue, given the striking view of the archaeological park’s ruins, making it a one-of-a-kind property. It could also be used as a prestigious villa, with the possibility of renting out one or more apartments within.
