3 Bed Property for sale
Atri, Teramo, Abruzzo, Italy
Full Description
Wonderful property for sale perched on a hill, with an incredible 360° view of the Adriatic Sea and the mountains of the Majella and Gran Sasso, consisting of: an old building (part of which dates back to the year 1700, as per the tile dated 1705) and approximately 13,000 square metres of land around it. The building, in need of renovation, was used, according to historical records, as a convent and later as a country house. The property is located 4 km from the historical centre of Atri, considered one of the most beautiful cities of art in Abruzzo, and precisely in contrada Cona, a small hamlet whose history begins in the Middle Ages, with the hospice of S. Giorgio and the various convents scattered in the hills. Arranged on three levels, it still retains the ancient rose windows, the watchtower used to sight invaders arriving from the sea and in one room traces of paintings dedicated to the ‘Virgin Mary’. The land is partly agricultural and partly buildable, which makes it possible to extend the building, even with a renovation with all today's comforts (including a swimming pool), leaving the imprint of the Middle Ages. It is also ideal for use as accommodation thanks to its excellent location and the possibility of expanding the current size.
The project envisaged an entrance hall, kitchen, living room, laundry room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor as well as a garage; a bedroom with bathroom and terrace-solarium on the first floor; a cellar in the basement. Naturally, the design can be changed to suit your needs.
The splendid location makes it possible to reach the sea in a few minutes and the mountains in just over half an hour. Just a 3-minute drive takes you to the historic centre of Atri, where you can find all the essential and non-essential services: bars, restaurants, shops of all kinds, fruit and vegetable shops, butcher shops, farms that sell their products, open-air markets every Monday and Friday, where you can buy all zero-kilometre products, as well as clothes and local gastronomic products. In Atri there are also excellent schools up to high school level and an excellent hospital.
