The farmhouse and the guest house

It can be accessed from the ground floor and the back of the first floor.

The second floor has four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

Volume to be recovered

This offer also includes the possibility of recovering an old volume dating back to the 1700s that does not produce income to build an additional 150 sq.m building for residential use. The plan has already been approved by the Town Council.

The measurements provided indicate the liveable surface area.
The liveable surface area is the same as the walkable surface area (which includes internal walls) plus 10% to take into account supporting walls.
The surface area occupied by stairs may only be calculated once.

State and finishing

This 1800s farmhouse has been renovated and is in good condition.

The exposed stone exteriors blend in with the surrounding landscape.

The airy and light-flooded interiors feature large windows overlooking the valley and a few typical elements, such as the stone fireplaces and the exposed wooden beams in the living area.

External areas

The 4-ha plot of land (including the building grounds) is fenced with chestnut stakes. Moreover, the farmhouse is surrounded by a garden and an olive grove producing about 300 litres of oil per year.

Building a swimming pool is an option (you need to ask for the required authorisations, though).

Use and potential uses

Despite being immersed in nature, Casale Soleluna is less than an hour and a half from Rome and its airports. It’s perfect as a second home where to spend long holidays. Another option is to rent it on a weekly basis when not used.

The volume that can be recovered makes this property ideal for a B&B or a small accommodation facility.
