This meticulously restored country property, whose origins date back to the early 18th century, currently consists of one bedroom, open plan living and kitchen and dining areas with beautiful handcrafted fireplace, one and one half baths, artist’s studio and full separate studio apartment with separate bathroom, located on the border between Tuscany and Lazio. All rooms feature beautifully restored open beam ceilings.

Totally and lovingly restored over a period of several years and completed in 2007, it is located in a tiny and peaceful medieval hamlet of six residences, two of which are offered here, sitting on a knoll with breathtaking views of the Tuscan hills. The borgo sits between the two lovely villages of Proceno and San Giovanni della Contee, less than fifteen minutes from Acquapendente and less than 1 hour from Orvieto.

All tiles, flooring and sinks used in the restoration have been reclaimed from ancient castles and villas in the surrounding area. Many doors are hand crafted from old wood and their hardware is of an authentic style. The restoration itself has been lovingly carried out, using only the finest materials.

The property is equipped with all the modern conveniences, including: central heating with gas, double pane windows, new appliances, new floors and a new roof. The house is equipped with high speed internet and satellite TV (SKY).

The house is South facing and includes wonderful outside garden areas with a stone barbecue, fruit and olive trees.

The artist’s studio on the ground floor of the house has a separate entrance and a spiral staircase connecting it with the upper floor. This floor can easily be reconfigured into a separate suite.

The property is far enough from the town of Proceno of just about 700 inhabitants to insure tranquility, yet convenient to nearby Acquapendente, which sits on Via Cassia (SS2) about an hour North of the Provincial capital Viterbo. The property is on the border between Tuscany and Lazio. It is about 45 minutes from Orvieto which is an entrance point to the A1 Napoli-Milano autostrada and has a major train station. Siena is about 1 hour North. It is about 2 hours to either Roma or Firenze airports.

Price: Euro 325,000, plus commission, taxes, closing costs.
