The Farmhouse
Located at the top of the estate with easy access from the road, the farmhouse is composed of two adjacent buildings, totally independent, both built in stone and developing over different levels for a total gross surface of 310 sqm.
The main house is circa 190 sqm (gross) and was fully restored back in 2000. The restoration was carried out on the whole structure and the foundations to comply with anti-seismic regulations.
The house offers circa 150 sqm living space (net) over two floors. On the ground floor, there are two entrances. The front door leads into the hall and from there directly into the living room on one side and to the upper level with the kitchen-dining room on the other. The dining room can also be accessed directly from the front patio. Near the kitchen and by the rear entrance is a cloakroom.
A staircase leads from the hall to the second floor, which hosts a large livable space on the landing, currently used as a study/spare bedroom, three bedrooms and a bathroom. The second floor features wood ceilings and top-quality parquet flooring throughout.
All services are connected, whilst heating to the house is provided by a pellet stove and a LPG central heating system. In addition, solar panels for electricity supply and a solar water-heating system were installed in 2013. The solar panels have a nominal output of 4.5 Kw and provide an income of circa €450 per annum from sale of electricity of circa 3200Kw.
The second building is circa 120 sqm (gross) over two floors and is in need of total restoration. All the original materials (stone and wood) are still there, providing the opportunity for a restoration in keeping with traditional rural architecture.
The Outbuildings
The property also includes a stone outbuilding of circa 24 sqm, fully restored and currently used for wine production equipment. Such equipment would be left with the property.
On the grounds of the farm are also two horse stalls and a wood fence with drinking trough.
