Description

An exceptional property, this traditional stone-built Emilia Romagna farmhouse, with attached large barn, plus an enormous independent stone and brick barn/stables lies in one of the most prime positions to be found in this area.  Located in the comune of Carpineti, an area of outstanding natural beauty and famed for it’s links with Matilda of Canossa and the beautiful and historic Carpineti Castle, the farmhouse lies approximately 4 kilometres outside the large township of Carpineti, where most civic and personal amenities may found, including shops, supermarkets, restaurants, hotels etc.  Lying in the middle of a large estate of 120,000 sq. mtrs (30 acres approx.), comprising mostly lush mountain meadowland, though some woodland is included, the farmhouse is reached via a long private track at the top of which lies the farmhouse and barns.  Occupying a dominate position and overlooking the valley below, the views are not only breath-taking, but very panoramic, encompassing as it does the small villages below through to the magnificent high peaks of the distant Apennine mountain range.  

The main house, nominally showing as having 3 bedrooms, is in excellent condition, though requires internal input (mainly upgrading and decorating), in order to bring up to full potential.  Stone-built, with the warm honey-coloured stone work fully exposed on the exterior walls, the house is very substantive with all of the rooms large, light and airy.  It has recently had the benefit of a new roof (as has all of the other buildings), while throughout the windows are fully double-glazed.  The attached barn, so typical of an Emilia Romagna farmhouse, is also in excellent condition and could very quickly and easily be converted in extra living accommodation, effectively doubling the available living area.  On two floors, the lower floor could be utilised as a superb ‘taverna’ (with fantastic views), an exceptionally large family room or as a very large relaxation room.  Above there is ample space to convert this area in 4 to 6 extra bedrooms. 

As part of this property is the second independent barn.  Of simply enormous proportions and of more recent construction, this barn is mostly stone built , with the stone matching that of the main house and attached barn.  With decorative and practical additions of red brick, this building is in truly superb condition and could easily be transformed, offering a wide range of uses and possibilities.

An outstanding property with a wealth of potential, this property is one not easily found in this area and offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire not only a magnificent home but, if wanted, a superb investment and business opportunity at a very realistic price.
