Detached house for sale in Farindola

🏡 149 sq m stone farmhouse with garden, courtyard, and panoramic loggia – your opportunity to create your own bespoke home in Abruzzo   MAIN FEATURES: Located in the green heart of Abruzzo, in the Vestina area and at the foot of the Gran Sasso National Park, we offer for sale a stone and masonry property of 149 sq m (cadastral weight: 1,000 kg), spread over two levels and comprising a total of 8.5 rooms. The house is strategically located, adjacent to the historic Church of San Quirico, a small rural church in the Vestina area, steeped in local traditions and rural religious architecture. Given its layout, green spaces, and quiet location, this property represents an excellent opportunity for international buyers seeking a conservative restoration project to create their own vacation home or a real estate investment in Italy.   The structure of the house includes: Ground floor: Accessory rooms/cellars with internal hallway and stairwell providing direct access to the upper floor. The ground floor spaces open onto a covered portico below the loggia. First Floor (Living and Sleeping Area): Eat-in kitchen: Spacious space featuring an impressive rustic brick fireplace and French doors that open directly onto the view of the tree-lined hills. The windows are predominantly single-glazed aluminum, with some featuring the original double-framed wooden frames. Bedrooms and hallways: Large rooms featuring original terrazzo and light-colored tile floors, aluminum window frames with wooden or aluminum exterior shutters. The upper floors feature sloping ceilings with dark exposed beams along the white ceiling. One room features a single-glazed aluminum window paired with wooden exterior shutters, while another room is furnished with a single bed in wrought metal. First Bathroom (Vintage): Windowed room with aluminum frames, equipped with a bathtub with integrated wall-mounted shower, floor-standing sanitary fixtures (toilet and bidet), sink, green square tile flooring and partial wall coverings in decorative tiles with geometric-floral motifs in shades of yellow and brown. Second Bathroom (Renovated): Large attic bathroom with a sloping ceiling and dark beams, wooden window frames and white fixtures (close-coupled toilet and floor-standing bidet), a walk-in shower area with sage green wall covering, and a vintage dark wood vanity unit with drawers and a light marble top topped with a wooden-framed mirror and side wall sconces.   Outdoor Spaces and Garden: Private garden and green area: The property includes a private landscaped garden to the rear/side of the building, featuring a large pine tree and lawn, bordered by a chain-link fence and perimeter walls. This outdoor space is perfect for a sunbathing area, a vegetable garden, or an outdoor relaxation area. Access courtyard and gate: Access square in front delimited by a metal driveway gate with a brick wall and space for parking cars or outdoor dining. Loggia and Balcony: A long panoramic loggia covered by a metal canopy with translucent panels, bordered by a decorative exposed brick parapet, overlooks the surrounding hills and adjacent stone buildings. The loggia is accessible directly from the interior via a partially glazed entrance door and from the exterior via a large monumental staircase with a brick parapet. There is also a room with a French door that opens onto an additional outdoor balcony.   OTHER FEATURES AND RESTORATION POTENTIAL: The property requires a comprehensive renovation. While the exterior stone structure and tiled roof provide a solid foundation, the interior requires a complete overhaul of the heating and plumbing systems, replacement/modernization of the windows and doors (currently mostly single-glazed aluminum with some original wooden frames), and targeted masonry repairs (some first-floor walls show signs of damp and peeling plaster). This property represents the ideal blank canvas for international buyers wishing to preserve the original historic features—such as the traditional fireplace, stonework, perforated bricks, and period floors—while integrating the utmost in modern comfort.   LOCATION AND ATTRACTIONS: The property is located in the Vestina Area, an Abruzzo region renowned for its DOP olive oil, vineyards and historic villages, strategically positioned a short distance from both the Apennine peaks and the Adriatic Sea.
