Description

Located in the small village of Vidriano,  the “Corte”  is near Ciano d'Enza, Reggio Emilia, in the province of Emilia Romagna.  I have attached a small map giving the location of Ciano d'Enza (the Corte is only a couple of kilometres away), and as can be seen the property is very convenient for reaching and getting to either Reggio Emilia or Modena.  As well, it is even nearer to the main junction of the Autostrada, making visiting other Italian cities, such as Florence, Rome, Milan easy and convenient.

An exceptional property, the “Corte” is very historic (as is the whole of the village) and is full of character and charm.  Set in an area steeped with history and dotted with castles, palaces etc. the “corte” is near the Castle Rosanna and is deep in the Matilde lands.  Historically and originally built as a “Court” for landed and regal patrons (the equivalent of the traditional Baronial houses in central England) evidence of it’s ancestry can be seen all around and it is replete with a wealth of traditional features, such as hand-carved stone window and door surrounds, stone archways etc. (there is even a traditional interior water well, with perfectly acceptable drinking water in one of the buildings).   Comprising of three main living areas and several integral barns/stables (plus a couple of barns that are separate), the property presents an imposing and self-contained unit and would be eminently suitable for transforming into an agro-tourism business.  Fully stone built throughout the property, as a whole, is in surprisingly good condition and it should not take too much input in order to bring up to the same standard and condition as all the other buildings in this attractive village.  The property is served with electricity, water and sewage and one of the living areas is currently habitable (although it must be pointed out, only at a basic level).

Externally, the property is set in the outskirts of the village and currently is listed as coming with 2,855 sq. mtrs of land, most of which is laid out with vines.  However, extra land is available if required as the vendor of the Corte owns most of the land around and he has indicated that if more land is wanted this would be accommodated.

A beautiful and unusual property, the price of €295,000 is very reasonable given the property’s exceptional and unique qualities and early viewing of this unique property is strongly recommended.
