Horse farm in Northern Italy

At an altitude of 550 meters on the northern side of the Apennine mountain range, we find this charming horse farm with 12 hectares of land. A very successful agriturismo (Oak Wood Ranch) has been run on the farm since 2017 and the business consists of horses, sheep and chickens as well as own crops.
The ancient stone house from 1900 consists of three floors. On the lower level we find a large, very charming living room where a large number of people can fit along the classic long table. On the lower level there is also a fully equipped restaurant kitchen, two rooms that are used as a bedroom/storage room and a TV room and adjacent to these a bathroom. The large hall can be separated with a retractable glass wall.
On the upper floors there are a total of four double rooms, all with genuine and rustic details preserved. All bedrooms have an en-suite bathroom and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the garden and overlooking the valley.
The farm offers an indescribably beautiful panoramic view of the valley and is truly an oasis of greenery, peace and harmony.
Below the house there is a very nice spa area with a 220x220 jacuzzi, sunbeds and a wood-burning sauna with a panoramic window towards the valley.
The farm is secluded and is perfect for those looking for peace and quiet and closeness to greenery and nature. The surroundings are perfect for those who want to engage in horse riding, hiking and other experiences close to nature.

On the farm there is a small stable with four outdoor boxes, a saddle room and a riding track of approx. 20x40 m.
There is a total of 7 hectares of fenced pasture, a large number of fruit trees and woodland. The farm has both its own water well and municipal water.
Heating takes place via pellet stoves, gas and electricity.
The seller primarily wants to find a buyer who intends to continue the business and take over the farm's inventory such as horses, machinery and other equipment. The farm is also sold fully furnished inside.
It is also the seller's intention to assist the buyer with all the necessary information for him to be able to run the agriturismo according to the bureaucratic rules that apply in Italy. This is a unique opportunity for those who dream of running a farm/agriturismo in Italy.
The Oak Wood Ranch business was started in Sweden in 2009 and moved to Italy in 2017. The business has been profitable and successful ever since it started and is basically fully booked throughout the season, which runs from mid-March to mid-November.
In the price is included furniture, equipment for the farm and for riding, stables, about ten horses, sheets and hens.
The seller can discuss to sell the estate and the land without the animals for a lower price.
