4 bedrooms farmhouse, 310 m²

Corvara, Pescara (province)

Stunning detached property for sale in an excellent location on the beautiful and sunny hills of Corvara, a small medieval village of extraordinary beauty in the heart of Abruzzo and the Parco Nazionale del Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga.
The ancient farmhouse is in fairly good condition but needs some renovation work and is arranged on two levels; the ground floor, once used as an oil mill, is currently used as a cellar with a still-functioning wood-burning oven and garage; the first floor, used as a dwelling, consists of a kitchen with a fireplace, a living room, four bedrooms, a bathroom and a large, panoramic terrace.
A small garden and an exclusive courtyard complete the property.
The property retains all the characteristics of typical houses in the area, with old floors, old brick vaults currently plastered, old wooden window frames, solid wood roof, stone portals; with a wise renovation it can be restored to its former glory.
The house is located near the historic centre of the village of Corvara, where you can admire the ancient fortified house-walls and a breathtaking view, a true plunge into the extraordinary past of authentic Abruzzo, made of shepherds, sheep and wolves. With the proximity to the Majella and Gran Sasso mountains, the atmosphere in this village is unique. Just 13 km away is the village of Torre de' Passeri where you can find supermarkets, a pharmacy, bars, schools, a swimming pool and other shops as well as a health centre. The town is very active, a gathering point for the smaller neighbouring towns, strategically located near the A25 motorway exit that connects the town to the capital in just over an hour and in just 30 minutes you can reach the ski resorts and the golden beaches of the Adriatic Sea. There is also a bus stop in the area for buses that take you to Rome in just a few euro and the railway station.
