Description

Nestled in a peaceful woodland setting, this charming stone farmhouse enjoys an exceptionally private location, surrounded by nature and its own land. A true countryside retreat offering complete tranquillity, privacy, and the opportunity to embrace a slower, more sustainable lifestyle.

The property is located on the outskirts of Castiglione Messer Marino, a lively mountain village in the heart of the Abruzzo region. The village offers all essential amenities within walking distance, including cafés, bars, a bakery, grocery shops, a pharmacy, a bank, a post office, a medical centre, and more.


The farmhouse measures approximately 133 sqm, is entirely built of stone, and is arranged over three floors. The thick stone walls naturally help regulate indoor temperatures throughout the seasons, creating a comfortable living environment while reducing the need for excessive heating and cooling.


The main entrance opens onto a charming private courtyard, creating a peaceful outdoor space ideal for dining, relaxing, and enjoying the sounds of the surrounding woodland. Inside, the ground floor features a traditional kitchen with a fireplace, a wood-burning oven, and a window overlooking the land. Adjacent to the kitchen is a versatile room currently used as a recreational space, which could easily become a bedroom or a cosy sitting room.


A traditional stone staircase leads to the first floor, where there is a spacious room offering excellent flexibility and the potential to suit a variety of needs. This floor also includes a comfortable bedroom with lovely views over the surrounding countryside.


On the semi-basement level, there is a bathroom with independent external access, together with a water storage tank. The property is supplied with water from a natural spring, a valuable feature for those seeking a more independent and environmentally conscious way of living. As is typical of many rural properties, the house is not connected to the public sewer network, with wastewater managed through a private cesspit.


At the side of the house, there is also a traditional stone cellar with vaulted ceilings.


An additional stone annex attached to the property is currently not habitable and requires complete renovation. It offers excellent potential to expand the living accommodation, while preserving the authentic character of this traditional farmhouse.


Outside, the property benefits from approximately 13.000 sqm of land and woodland offering endless possibilities for creating a vegetable garden, planting fruit trees, keeping animals, or simply enjoying a peaceful retreat immersed in nature. This is an ideal property for anyone looking to reconnect with the outdoors, enjoy greater self-sufficiency, and experience the authentic rhythm of rural life.

OUR APPROACH TO RESTORATION AND TECHNICAL SURVEYS

Many of the properties listed on our website need restoration or renovation.

Abruzzo Rural Property has a completely different approach to restoration projects. We do not have an in-house architect or surveyor as this would be considered as a conflict of interest here in Italy.

When a client buys a house in need of restoration we can start working together with them to find the best estimates from local building companies. We compare prices, availability to complete the works on a given timeframe, skills, ability to understand the client, etc…There are many skilled builders in the Abruzzo and Molise regions, it is not necessary to limit yourself to just one building company either.

We have the same approach with surveyors, architects, technical engineers; we always select local people and we tend to work with those who provide the best services and have great past track records.

Over the years, Abruzzo Rural Property has established trusted contacts with the most reliable professionals such as notaries, surveyors and contractors; we work with different companies in order to be able to always provide excellent services at the most cost-effective prices.

Every client is unique, each comes with individual needs, dreams, concerns or apprehensions. We endeavour to customize our services according to our client’s specific needs and personalities.
