Nestled amidst the serene landscapes of Abruzzo, Italy, this delightful villa offers a harmonious blend of tranquility and comfort. Situated in Civitella Messer Raimondo, this 3-bedroom home is perfect for those yearning to embrace the Italian lifestyle while savoring the breathtaking views and nearby amenities. As a busy real estate agent, it’s my job to balance capturing the charm of this property while also making sure everything is practical for prospective buyers like you, especially if you’re considering relocating from overseas.
The villa stands proudly among a collection of other villas, cultivating a delightful neighborhood spirit—perfect for anyone who desires the benefits of community living while still retaining privacy. Imagine yourself in this charming abode, where your day could begin with a morning stroll by the nearby Sant Angelo Lake—just a brief five-minute drive away—and extend into an evening of alfresco dining either in the village or your own spacious garden.
Living here, you are never far from the essentials. Casoli is just a ten-minute drive, and it boasts a variety of shops, restaurants, and cafes, where you might just pick up the best espresso around. And for days when the Adriatic calls your name, its sunny beaches are a mere 41 kilometers away, offering you various sandy stretches to explore.
The villa itself is a robust 300-square-meter structure that has managed to endure the test of time remarkably well. The home doesn't show any unsettling signs of structural issues, ensuring that it’s ready for you to move straight in and begin your new adventure in Italy. Approaching the villa, you'll notice the immaculate condition of the facade, complemented by the allure of a wholly flat garden spanning 700 square meters. Various trees grace this garden, including olive and fig, embodying the essence of Mediterranean life.
The main entrance door opens to a large, welcoming hallway, setting the tone for a home that exudes warmth and comfort. The ground floor boasts a cozy yet ample kitchen, imbued with the rustic charm of a traditional Italian home. It features a large fireplace with a wood-burning stove and an authentic wood-burning oven—you'll feel inspired to recreate classic Italian dishes amid the aroma of wood-fired cooking. The double-window design ensures the kitchen is bathed in natural light and offers a peaceful view of the garden outside.
The ground floor continues to host a formal dining room with a double exposure, enhancing its airy ambiance. A little further down the corridor, the living room beckons with its original cotto flooring, which can take one back to Italy’s storied past. Cozy up by the fireplace in the evenings, or slide open the glass doors to take in the oasis that is your garden.
A single bathroom on this floor complete with a tub offers convenience, while the substantial utility room connecting to the garden brims with possibilities—it could become a secondary bathroom or even an extra bedroom.
Head upstairs, where the upper floor unfolds to reveal peaceful living quarters. From the master bedroom to an inviting double bedroom, and a guest bedroom—the spaces all enjoy double exposures, offering light and mountain breezes. Each day here can culminate in relaxation on the large terrace, which offers jaw-dropping panoramic views. Part of the terrace enjoys shade under a wooden veranda, perfect for spring, summer, and autumn lounging, while an uncovered area is ideal for sunbathing.
The practical household tasks are simplified by the ample storage space, including a large attic and a spacious basement. Let your imagination guide how you use these spaces. Exploring the garden, you find a barn that awaits a new roof; a thoughtful restoration could see it serve as a guest suite or a hobbyist workshop.
The property enjoys full re-wiring, a gas central heating system, and charming original wooden shutters. The internal condition of the windows and shutters enhances the rustic yet polished feel of this abode, ensuring it keeps cozy even during the cooler months.
Living in Civitella Messer Raimondo means you enjoy both the local pleasures and broader Italian adventures: from skiing at Passo Lanciano just 47 kilometers away to catching a flight via Pescara airport at 61 kilometers distance. The moderate climate of Abruzzo—with hot summers and mild winters—makes it comfortable to experience the great outdoors most of the year.
Moreover, life in a villa translates to both the luxury of space and the charm of pastoral tranquility; you will find that social gatherings or peaceful solitude, whatever completes your lifestyle, are both at home in such a setting. As a busy real estate agent, it's always a joy to pair individuals with a property that isn't just a house, but a home where memories await to be made. Property in this area is in high demand, so don't hesitate to envision yourself in this slice of Italian paradise!
