Prato, Lerchi, Monte Santa Maria Tiberina

This attractive property is situated in the valley as it used to be an old mill, probably milling chestnut flour as there are beautiful chestnut woods nearby. The land included amounts to approximately 4,000 sq mts bordered by a brook on one side and a field generally used for the cultivation of sunflowers on the other. The situation is very pretty and tranquil, there are cherry, walnut and apple trees in the garden and in the hot summer months the brook will refresh tired feet! At present the garden is a rather ugly building site! Access to the property is good via tarmac road from Citta di Castello and a further 1 km of white top road to the property. Closeby there is the 9 hole golf course of Caldese and their riding centre.

Accommodation comprises, entrance to a large sitting room, dining-room, kitchen with large store room off, a further room which could be used as a study with the staircase to the 1st floor, a WC/cloakroom and a laundry room. Upstairs (access via the external staircase with loggia or internal staircase) there is a large room with a wooden stairway to a mezzanine, one bedroom with bathroom en suite, two more bedrooms and a bathroom. From the 2nd floor mezzanine there is access to a further studio room.

The restoration has been carried out to a high standard, using old terracotta tiles and chestnut beams for the roof and ceilings. Floor tiles have not been laid yet but will be the same.

There is mains electricity, it is possible to attach to the mains water supply or drill a well (the builders have been using water from the brook). The telephone lines run close by.

The property is presently undergoing extensive restoration but the owner is prepared to sell it ‘as is’ although he is continuing the works and will complete the house with window and door fittings, central heating plant, electricity plant etc for an increased price.

Price: Euro 258,000
