Description

In the heart of the historic center of Pietragalla, Basilicata, right next to the Mother Church, a charming 18th-century building, originally a monastery, is for sale. Located at Via Roma 15, this historic building represents a rare opportunity for those wishing to invest in a property of great architectural value, nestled in a tranquil and authentic setting, just a few kilometers from Potenza and surrounded by pristine natural landscapes.

The property, spread over multiple levels, has undergone a high-quality conservation project that has successfully combined respect for history and original materials with the addition of comfort and contemporary design. The imposing and noble entrance hall welcomes you with a large wood and marble door, topped by a four-meter-high wooden ceiling that lends a spacious and solemn atmosphere to the space. From here, two staircases branch off, leading to the three apartments that comprise the building. To the left of the entrance is the basement room, located on the ground floor, and the cellar.

The first apartment, located on the first floor, measures 50 square meters and consists of a single space combining a living room and kitchen, a double bedroom, and a bathroom. Fully furnished with prestigious pieces, the apartment is enhanced by perfectly restored exposed wooden beams and a large fireplace that doubles as a thermo-fireplace. This unit can be expanded to 100 square meters using a currently unfinished portion of the building.

The second apartment, spread over two levels, extends over a total area of 80 square meters. The living area, on the second floor, includes an entrance hall with a living room and a spacious eat-in kitchen featuring an elegant brick fireplace. A small balcony overlooks Via Roma. The sleeping area, on the third floor, includes a double bedroom, a large walk-in closet that can easily be converted into a second bedroom, a bathroom with a large shower, and an anteroom. There are two balconies with different views. This apartment boasts a magnificent 45 sq m panoramic terrace, overlooking the village on three sides and offering a privileged view, as the building is second in height only to the bell tower of the Mother Church.

The third apartment, completely unfinished, occupies the second floor and measures 100 sq m. The windows and doors have already been replaced with new ones. This space connects to the second apartment, allowing the two units to be combined to create a single, large 180 sq m apartment, or to maintain the independence of each room.

On the ground floor is a charming 50 sq m rumpus room with a separate entrance on Via Nazario Sauro. Renovated with great attention to detail, the rumpus room is composed of two rooms equipped with tables, capable of hosting banquets for over 20 people. A large fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen allow for the preparation of traditional Lucanian dishes in a convivial and authentic atmosphere. The space is completed by a bathroom and a splendid 7-square-meter wine cellar, custom-fitted for storing wine and food, thanks to its naturally constant temperature year-round. This space also has the potential to be expanded to 110 square meters using a currently unrenovated portion.

The exterior of the building was completely restored in 2022, with hand-crafted cleaning and re-lining of the stone walls, restoring the property to its original charm.

The location is central yet secluded. The building is just steps from the village's main attractions, including a municipal library, an osteria renowned for its local cuisine, and, of course, the majestic Mother Church. The building is accessible by a small car that can drive up to the main door, ensuring privacy and tranquility, away from traffic and urban chaos.

Pietragalla is one of the most characteristic villages in Basilicata, nestled in a hilly landscape offering evocative views and an atmosphere suspended in time. Famous for its historic architecture, well-preserved traditions, and the genuine hospitality of its inhabitants, the town is the ideal choice for those seeking an authentic and peaceful life, without sacrificing essential services or proximity to Potenza.

This property is a perfect solution both as a private residence and as a charming accommodation, such as a B&B or vacation home. A solid and charming investment, in a place where time seems to have stood still.
