Description

An unusual and exciting property with tremendous business potential on offer.  Set in a quiet village on the outskirts of Castelnovo ne’ Monte (the capital of the Apennine Mountain Community) this property represents a difficult to find opportunity to provide either an extremely large personal and private family home or a very substantial agro tourism business, such a B&B, guest house or even an exclusive hotel.

Comprising of various structures, barns, stores and tool sheds and a large three-story house, the complex in total offers in excess of 700 sq. mtrs of floor space.  Built and adapted over a long period of time (some parts of the house and attached barn/stable was built pre-1800), nevertheless, structurally and internally, the main house is in excellent condition and is habitable as is, while all of the remaining barns and stables are also in excellent condition.  The house, as is the attached barn, stable and connecting archway, is fully stone-built in the local mellow honey-coloured stone of the area.  On three floors, the lower ground level mainly comprises of cellars, store rooms and attached sheds.  The first floor allows for a large kitchen, living room and ancillary rooms, while the second or upper floor provides the four substantial sized bedrooms.  All of the rooms in the house are of very generous proportions, giving the house the potential for a large family home.  Internally, the house just requires minor adaptation and modernization in order to bring it up to perfect standard.

Externally, the property is reached via an exclusive and private driveway at one end and a common entrance (which can be closed off) at the other end, with very large red-brick barns and stables to one side (all of which can be readily converted into living accommodation if desired).   Totally enclosed and centrally placed within the land boundaries, the property offers an oasis of greenery in the middle of the village, with the land, while not extensive, nevertheless being sufficient to landscape and make into an attractive feature. 

Although located in a small village the property lies on the outskirts of Castelnovo ne' Monti. The regional and administrative centre of the mountain region, Castelnovo contains all the services and facilities of a large major town, such as hospital, shops, supermarkets, restaurants, sports and sporting facilities, cinemas and restaurants etc.  A thriving and bustling town, Castelnovo is ideally placed as a major tourist centre, providing many historical, cultural and natural attractions.  Lying in the shadow of the famed and mysterious Bismantova Plateaux, in itself a powerful draw, Castelnovo is also very well placed for any tourist wishing to explore this beautiful region, with the historic cities of Reggio ne’ Emilia and Parma only 26 and 33 miles away, while entrance onto the main A1 Autostrada, which runs the full length of Italy, is only 21 miles from the property.
