This expansive property is situated on the outskirts of the picturesque hillside town of Atri. Positioned in the centre of a large olive tree filled hillside plot, it offers breathtaking views extending to the sea. The property features six impressive bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two reception rooms. Currently used as a private holiday home, it previously operated as a local B&B, drawing numerous visitors to Atri with its stunning sea and mountain views. Located only 12 km from the fabulous beach of Pineto and a stone's throw from Atri, this house is ideally situated for enjoying beaches, town life, or simply the peace, beauty, and tranquility of the area.
It's worth noting that the private road down to this secluded house is in need of some repairs. This is reflected in the current price, but is also negotiable with the seller.
Accommodation comprises:
Ground Floor - New kitchen/dining area (2017). Accessible bedroom. Bathroom (with washing machine). Two reception/sitting rooms.
First Floor - Five bedrooms, three with en suites. Shared family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have balconies. External, covered stairs.
In 2017, the house underwent renovation to enlarge the ground floor windows, increasing the amount of natural light, and received new thermally efficient windows and doors, partial re-wiring, and damp-proofing. A new eco-pellet boiler and photovoltaic system were also installed to provide environmentally focused heating and hot water. The renovation work was managed by a local architect and engineer.
Outside - The villa is fenced and features solid terracing all around. It includes an outside sink/preparation area and rear access to the boiler plant room. There is potential to add a swimming pool in front of the house. The property spans 1.4 hectares of land, boasting many green olive trees and a variety of fruit trees (oranges, persimmons, apricots, nuts, cherries, etc.). This is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in producing their own produce and olive oil (approximately 30L per year). The property also offers views of both the sea and mountains and is near one of Abruzzo's most beautiful coastal resorts, Pineto.
Additional features include a garage and an outbuilding for storing gardening tools and built-in pizza oven. The private road leading to the house requires some maintenance work.
