HOUSE DESCRIPTION: The house has not yet been landscaped. Newly built house at the end of a Comune maintained road. Very quiet, in the middle of nature. The house is wood construction screwed and bolted together, built by Wolf Haus. Earthquake safe to 9.2 Richter. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (only one is finished), 2 kitchen areas, 2 large living areas. There is a 4.2 m high open beam ceiling on the upper floor making the rooms extra spacious. The two large bedrooms have doors to access the balcony and patio area. The high quality construction is perfectly sealed against drafts and water. The aluminum shutters and exterior of the windows never need painting. There is not a kitchen installed so the new owner can choose their favorite layout and look. There is 3 phase electric for induction stove tops and adequate electric outlets. Floors are all tiled, including the garage, balcony, covered patio and storage area. A spiral staircase accesses the lower living area. 2 large sliding glass doors open out to the covered patio increasing the living space in all seasons. The lower kitchen (connections but no cabinets) makes entertaining and harvesting fruits and vegetables easy and convenient. Mail delivery is to the house. Public water is connected. Property taxes are 300€ a year. Police and fire are in Gualdo. Construction will be finished soon.
LOCAL AREA AND CLIMATE The climate is moderate with summer highs rarely above 32C and winter lows rarely below freezing. Winter heating of the house is needed but summer air conditioning is not. It does snow once or twice during the winter but is gone in a few days. There are two growing seasons. In the spring and summer for warm season crops and in the fall for cool season crops. I have harvested fennel, broccoli, kale, carrots and Brussel sprouts until April! Olive trees for oil, grapes for wine grow very well while cherry, plum, apple and fig trees grow wild. The cultural heritage in Italy is very rich. Mountain top villages, beautiful churches, Roman archaeologic sites and the wonderful friendly people that you meet everywhere. The house is less than an hour drive to the Adriatic beaches and restaurants, and also less than an hour for hiking in the Sibillini mountains and the Sibillini National Park. The Sibilline Mountains can be seen from the house. During the summer there are small and large fairs or festas every weekend somewhere in the area. Every Thursday in Sarnano (20 minutes away) is a large outdoor market with fruits, vegetables, meat, clothes and more. There is also a EuroSpin grocery store, hardware, drugstore, hospital and more. Gualdo (10 minutes away) is smaller but has a market on Tuesday, a farm supply store, drugstore, 2 coffee bars, post office, and more. Excellent healthcare!! PROPERTY There is plenty of space for your own Olive trees, vineyard and fruit trees. The area along the creek is moist and cool on the hottest days in the summer and a good place for harvesting mushrooms in the spring. There may be additional land for sale around the house if needed.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS The Italian government is offering a 7% flat income tax rate for foreign retired buyers that purchase a house around small towns in southern Italy including Gualdo. The rules have been expanded for 2026. Speak with an accountant for specific details. The cost of building my house was more than 600,000€. I am offering it for 425,000€ for a quick sale and as an investment opportunity for someone wanting an energy self sufficient house located in a natural rural paradise area of Italy.
