Description

An unusual and exciting property.  Exceptional five-bedroom farmhouse, originally a typical Emilia Romagna stone farmhouse (it just needs the external rendering on this part to be removed in order to reveal the mellow honey-coloured stone underneath), it has been enlarged at some point in order to provide a superior and very large dwelling.  Fully finished internally, with full central heating, double-glazing etc. the property provides, as well as five excellently sized bedrooms (one of which, the ‘master bedroom is approx. 20ft x 20ft),  three bathrooms, two substantial kitchens, two living rooms, an enormous (approx. 25ft x 35ft) open-plan ‘taverna’ on the bottom floor and an equally enormous attic area, reached via it’s own entrance and ready for full conversion into a fabulous ‘living/relaxation’ area.  From this room the whole of the surrounding area can be seen, from the distant mountains, rolling hills and wide spaced open valleys to the famous ‘Pietra di Bismantova’ (the Bismantova Plateaux), giving one of the most breath-taking panoramic views to be found anywhere in these parts. 

Externally, the property comes with it’s own private land of 37,000 sq. mtrs (3.7 hectares / 9.14 acres), currently mostly meadow, though some woodland is included (providing a ready supply of logs for burning in the open-plan fire-places in the house).  Located in the small hamlet of Montecroce, it is part of the Comune di Toano, and is a couple of kilometres away from the main township of that name, Toano.  Here you can find all of the usual amenities such as shops, supermarkets, restaurants, weekly open-air market etc, as well as the civic administration offices and amenities such as the superb, open-air public swimming pool, games area for football, athletics tennis courts etc. 

A superb farmhouse, fully equipped and ready to live in as it is, this property offers a wealth of possibilities, from an exceptionally large family home (two families can comfortably live in the house) to agro-tourism as the size, locality and structure lends itself perfectly for use as a B & B, guest-house etc.

An exceptional property and early viewing is strongly recommended.
