Casa Pietro

Two stone farmhouses side by side.  One stone house for demolition: left hand facing on photographs ~ approx  300 sq mts.  One stone house for restructuring: right hand facing on photographs ~ approx. 300 sq mts (not including the attic).  Volume for outbuildings, about 50 sq mts in addition to above.
Rooms:  Stone house for renovating: The current internal room structure is intact.  The attic has 2 big rooms both with wooden beams. There are approx. a further 7 rooms which include 2 bathrooms and a living room.  About 100 sq mts make up the cow sheds, the ground floor of the building.
Land: Substantial amount but needs to be confirmed.
Position: Lovely position on a little white (stony) road with no other houses close by. Peaceful and private location.
Electricity: Will need to be connected
Access: Via a white (stony) road off a main road

Description:  These two stone farmhouses belong to one family which explains why they have been built so close to each other. One house is derelict and will most certainly require rebuilding, it is built entirely of beautiful old stone which can be re-used in the rebuild. The other stone house is not immediately habitable (used only for farming at present) and will require complete renovation. Beautiful setting with wonderful views.

Comments: The problem here is that you have two houses so close together that it isn’t viable to sell them independently. It would be very costly to rebuild/renovate both houses and you probably would not be able to move the volume of one after demolition, to another site. On the plus side, the price for both houses is around the asking price for one property in a similar condition. So you could renovate one house and, since there are new regulations about increasing volume you could use all the stone from the other in the renovation ie to build new loggias, walls, barbecues, gates, pool house etc. It’s so difficult to get hold of enough old stone for renovations and when you can it’s costly, that it makes good sense to take advantage of a ‘double whammy’ offer like this.  If you are particularly looking for a house to renovate, then these two are worth a view.  The location is a dream, secluded and tranquil.
