Type: Countryside Homes
Price: EUR € 700,000

A beautifully restored country house that has been completely refurbished to a very high standard during the past 3 years by its current owners.
“Casa Gialla” is approached via an impressive driveway with electrically controlled wrought iron access gates and comes with almost two hectares (approx 5 acres) of olive groves and fruit trees of which approximately one acre of land has been completely fenced in around the house to create landscaped gardens, affording both privacy and security.
The property enjoys 360 degree panoramic views. The unspoilt vistas directly to the Gran Sasso & Maiella mountain ranges are particularly appealing and impressive.

The house itself is generously appointed. Your enter via a large hallway leading into a spacious “American style” wrap around kitchen with breakfast bar…this in turn leads into a lovely light “day” room with an artisan built brick and oak fireplace and surround, which encloses the “Termo Camino” wood burner/water heater. 
The downstairs of the property also enjoys a large dining room which will comfortably seat 8 persons and a further large reception room - which is currently used as an office/study, enjoying terrific views of the Gran Sasso mountains.
On the ground floor level there is also a spacious and beautifully appointed family bathroom with a very big bath, shower, WC, bidet and sink unit.  
Off the hallway is a further doorway leading up to a very large and impressive marble stairway providing access to the upstairs hallway of the property.

On the first floor there are 3 large double bedrooms. One of which is the master suite.
This enjoys its own en-suite bathroom, “walk-in” wardrobe and double patio doors leading onto a balcony which again has spectacular views and is large enough to enjoy a leisurely breakfast taken “al fresco”.
The ensuite bathroom features a new and very modern hydrotherapy and sauna shower cabinet, together with a well proportioned sink, WC & bidet.

There is a further good sized single bedroom and another large room which is currently being used as a TV and leisure room. It has double patio doors leading onto a further balcony which is so generously proportioned it is possible to use for family dining and again, affords spectacular views over the mountains and local countryside.
This room could be used as a further double (or treble) bedroom if preferred and hence the property can easily be said to be a five bedroomed, 3 reception roomed residence. 

On this floor is also a further large family bathroom encompassing a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, bidet and sink unit. Therefore the property benefits from 3 large bathrooms in total.

Off the landing area is a large access point in the ceiling providing entry, via a retractable ladder, to the enormous attic space above providing ample storage facilities.

The house also benefits from a state of the art heating and hot water system which is independently controlled in different zones of the property and combines a new highly efficient gas boiler with an integrated back boiler system connected to the wood burner. This allows maximum efficiency and economy when heating the property during the winter months as either or both gas and wood can be used.
In the long summer months the property also benefits from the installation of roof mounted solar panels providing plenty of free hot water !

The property also has air conditioning installed in all the major rooms of the house for your comfort during the Summer months.

At the front of the property is a very large ceramic tiled terrace, suitable for dining and sun bathing. This patio is cleverly designed to also wrap around the whole house and also links directly to the beautiful driveway and garage complex.

The large garage has been ingeniously designed to provide an undercover barbeque and outdoor catering space for enjoying leisurely meals cooked “al fresco” throughout the year.
The open-air kitchen has all the facilities need to cater for a sophisticated dining experience should you so desire. It is equipped with a top quality wood burning pizza oven, a BBQ, a 4 ring hob gas burner and a sink unit with hot and cold running water. The opposing side of the garage has a covered car port sufficient to take two cars. This space can also be used for undercover dining during the hot summer months. The rear of the garage provides a conveniently located wood store.
The outside of the house, garage complex, front terrace & driveway all benefit from ample external lighting, allowing the owners to enjoy the outside lifestyle well into the balmy summer evenings.

There is provision in the garden for a generously sized swimming pool to be installed should you so desire and an electrical power supply has already been installed for this purpose.

This beautiful house whilst nestling in a quiet country location, is conveniently close to the much favoured medieval brick built local town of Penne (about 2 kilometres away). The town provides excellent shopping and restaurant facilities and has all the necessarily amenities on your doorstep such as bars, schools, banks, doctors and pharmacies. It even has a small local hospital !

With the glorious beaches of the Adriatic Coast only 35 minutes away and the ski-ing & walking in the Gran Sasso National Park approximately 45 minutes away, this property is ideally located for those looking for a wonderful new lifestyle in rural Italy away from the hustle and bustle of every day life.
