Description
This pretty 4 bedroom farmhouse has been fully restored preserving all of the original features, with large reception rooms and bedroom suites it is an ideal second home or rental property but its unique position is its best selling point. Situated on the side of a hill high above the UNESCO World heritage site of the valley of the ‘Calanchi’, clay, moon-like dunes interspersed with fields and woodland that make for a dramatic and breathtaking sight on arrival at the property. The sale includes a further guest cottage, pool, stables for at least 7 horses, a large cow shed and hay barn, around 31 hectares of land and woodland. Has to be seen to be believed.
N.B The property is also available with 4 hectares of land and without the stables and barn.
