Cosy stone house with garden in mountain hamlet

This splendid tower house with its timeless charm, typical of medieval hamlets, stands in the heart of a mountain village and welcomes us with its exposed stone façade and its ancient outdoor wood-burning oven to enhance its historic character. Built around 1600, the house has kept some of its original elements intact, such as the suggestive vaulted cave carved out of the rock, although it was expertly renovated in the 1990s to ensure modern safety and comfort. Crossing the small outdoor courtyard that houses the stone oven, we enter the main entrance; on the ground floor we find a cozy dining area with a fireplace, a masonry kitchen perfect for enjoying typical meals in a convivial atmosphere, a bathroom, a hallway and a large versatile room that can be used as a living room or double bedroom. From the kitchen, an open staircase leads to the upper floor which houses the two bedrooms and a second bathroom. A few steps from the house are two independent rooms that are also part of the property: a technical room and the charming stone cellar, ideal for storing wine and seasoning products. The jewel in the crown is the large, completely fenced-in private garden with fruit trees in production: an ideal retreat for relaxing immersed in nature. This unique property is perfect for those who want a house in the mountains to enjoy a relaxing holiday without giving up the proximity of services. Far from the chaos of the city, but not isolated, this solution also represents an excellent opportunity for those who wish to move to an environment surrounded by peace and serenity, immersed in the green and pure air of the mountains, in a perfect combination of history, nature and modern comfort.
