This is a rare opportunity to invest in an extraordinary property featuring six independent homes, each steeped in history and charm, and perfectly positioned with a 360° panoramic view of the lush Valley of the River Vigi.

The Property
The estate comprises six antique residences that were reconstructed by the owner as part of a vision to create a tourist accommodation. While the houses have been completely restored, work ceased before completion due to personal reasons.

Three homes were rebuilt from the foundation to the roof between 2001 and 2006, featuring roofs and ceiling beams crafted from chestnut wood.
A medieval tower dating back to the 1200s was meticulously reconstructed with the support of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, preserving its original structure stone by stone.
Renovated homes built to modern earthquake standards, showcasing characteristic features such as stone façades, chestnut beams, and shuttered windows. These homes are 95% completed, with inspections finalized in 2006.
One remaining structure of 100 m² is yet to be restored, offering further potential for expansion.
In total, the properties span an average surface area of approximately 660 m².

A Region Rich in History
Sellano, situated in the valley of the stream Vigi-a tributary of the Nera River-was founded by the Romans in 84 B.C. Throughout history, it served as a strategic hub, falling under the rule of the Duchy of Spoleto, the Papal State, and the Collicola family. This rich tapestry of influence is woven into every stone of the hamlet, imbuing the area with a unique allure.
