Villa to be restored in the heart of Emilia Romagna Price on request

It’s no secret that building a new house in Italy or restoration of the old building (so-called “rustico”) may be delayed for years due to a complex Italian bureaucratic system, as well as lack of understanding of the local laws, regulations and Italian language. The uniqueness of this project lies in the fact that the project is already fully approved by the local planning committee and it comes with a full package of the construction documentation.

Full restoration of the property should take no longer than 9-15 months (with a break for the winter months), and buying the house at this stage will allow you to realise your designer ideas and personality in this property. This project is not only an opportunity to build your dream home, but it also could be a very good investment, as the prices for a similar already restored and finished properties are much higher than the purchase and restoration costs of this building. Plus it is also worth mentioning the fact that according to the experts the property prices in Emilia-Romagna will only continue to grow and this province is anticipated to be the next Tuscany in the near future.

Casa Saldoni is a traditional Villa built in 1902 by Italian family, Saldoni, from local limestone of beautiful golden colour. The roof of the property is tiled with terracotta tiles typical for this region. The finished property will have beautiful oak windows with solid shutters, heavy wrought-iron entrance oak door and it will comprise of 4 spacious bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 3 living rooms (2 with fireplaces), office, utility room were all the systems(i.e. heating, security etc) will be fitted, and spacious terrace which can be accessed directly from the kitchen and one of the living rooms. The heart of the house, of course, is going to be a spacious kitchen-dining room with a spectacular high vaulted ceiling. The building has been designed in a such way that the ground floor can be absolutely self-contained, allowing you to be completely independent from your guests and your guests – from you and giving you an opportunity to rent it out and generate some rental income if required.
Total floor area of the building is approximately 360 square meters (excluding terrace). The house sits on a beautiful plot of 1.5 hectares, hidden from the eyes of curious townsfolk, on the border with the national park Giganti. The house is accessed through a private drive and surrounded by woods, inhabited by wild boars and deer. Apparently there are black truffles and other mushrooms growing in these woods and this area is a dream for hunters or wild nature lovers. The land comes with its own spring sufficient to provide all the needs of the house (including swimming pool).

The house occupies a panoramic position of approx. 800 m above the sea level. So once the woods are cleared on the northern side of the property, then amazing breathtaking views open out of the windows of an underlying valleys, towns and villages. The house is virtually surrounded by small towns and villages scattered around the valleys. For example Montemolino or Pianoroso are literally only couple of minutes away from the property whilst larger towns , such as, Palagano, Polinago or Lama Mocogno are in 5-15 minutes drive (these towns have hospitals, police, restaurants,pharmacies, beauty salons, shops, traditional Sunday markets and other attributes of urban life).

Parma – 101 km
Florence – 118 km
Pisa – 130 km
Milan – 250 km
