Villa - large, new - in the 'True Countryside' of Rome \par
\par

\par A great opportunity to own a large, brand-new villa in a very select residential area convenient to Rome and to have interiors and gardens to your own designs. The buyer can easily personalise the property. \par

 
Location
\par

\par The villa stands on a hillock in the centre of its own grounds of 2.1 hectares or about 5.2 acres in a peaceful rural area about 2 kilometres, or a mile and a quarter, from the village of Campagnano di Roma. The road from Campagnano di Roma is a byroad and runs past the grounds to the Parco Naturale di Madonna della Sorbo, the status of which is preserved by law. Indeed the villa overlooks the park, so the location is idyllic. \par

\par Campagnano di Roma is about 30 kilometres or 19 miles north of Rome and well outside the ring road around that city. The area is often referred to as 'the true countryside' of Rome. This is a very prestigious area. The neighbours are the elite of Rome and all the villas in the district stand in their own grounds. Residents include ambassadors, well-to-do expatriates, actors, media people, etc. \par

\par Click on this link for a good map of the general area. Campagnano di Roma is clearly shown on it, and an arc of the ring road around Rome can be seen near the southern edge of the frame. \par

\par There is no industry anywhere near the villa. Neither is there agriculture. The area is green and entirely residential. There is unlikely to be any more building in the area as planning permission is simply not being granted any more. \par

Who is Selling This Property?
\par

\par The villa is for sale by the owners. The family is now largely based in Milan. \par

 
Other Local Points of Interest
\par

\par On the last Sunday of each month an antiques fair is held in Campagnano di Roma and there are occasional small-scale country festivals there. The villa is about 8 kilometres or 5 miles east of Lake Bracciano, which is good for sailing, water-skiing and fishing and a nice place to spend a day. Even nearer is Lake Martignano. To the west, not far beyond the lakes, is the sea. In the other direction, eastwards, are the Apennine Mountains. \par

 
Access to Rome
\par

\par One can drive from the villa to the centre of Rome in little over half an hour. Or one could drive for about 15 minutes to a railway station, park the car in a secure car park and take a train to Rome. In addition there is a very good bus service. \par

 
Access to the Rest of Italy
\par

\par The villa is about 16 kilometres or 10 miles west of the principal north-south road in Italy, the A1, or Autostrada del Sole as it is evocatively known. That road is the motorway 'spine' of the country and is easily accessible from the villa. It runs between Milan and Naples, has many branches and therefore serves most of Italy. \par

 
Privacy
\par

\par The villa is far enough from the road to ensure privacy. The interior cannot be seen from the road and, in addition to being in a quiet and peaceful area and standing in its own grounds, privacy could be further enhanced by planting more trees. \par

 
Views
\par

\par Because the area is so green and rural and because the villa is built on a small hill the views from it are unsurpassable. \par

 
The Interior of the Villa
\par

\par The villa is on three floors, all of them at or above ground level. The total floor area is close to 700 square metres. Everything is ready for the new owner to personalise the villa and to lay out the interior to his or her own design. \par

\par The area of the ground floor is approximately 325m2. This floor was built with a wine cellar specifically in mind and part of it could be used for that. There is also room for a six-car garage; a family room or games room; guests' rooms or utility rooms; a self-contained apartment complete with bathroom and its own entrance (possible staff housing), etc; staff quarters are de rigueur in villas in this area. \par

\par The area of the first floor is approximately 300m2. This would be the living area. There is room here for a large kitchen and dining room, lounge and guests' bathroom. There is also room for three large bedrooms, each with their own walk-in wardrobes and individual bathrooms. \par

\par The second or top floor is an open mezzanine of approximately 70m2. This floor is accessible by the stairway from what would probably be the lounge and could be used for a study or hobbies room or as a playroom for the kids. \par

\par As a result of work recently done the villa could readily be divided into three separate homes - one apartment would be very big, the others somewhat smaller. \par

 
Services and Utilities
\par

\par Everything necessary for water and electricity has been installed. All that is needed to have mains electricity and running water is for the respective utility companies to be asked to make the connections. \par

 
Build Quality
\par

\par Materials of the highest quality have been used throughout the villa and it is thermally insulated. \par

 
Work Still to be Done
\par

This is a wonderful opportunity for the buyer to personalise the villa. \par

 
Further Development
\par Space has been set aside in the lower part of the grounds for a swimming pool and tennis courts. There would also be room for building loose boxes for horses. As the 'thumbnails' at the head of this page show the grounds need to be landscaped. There is a great opportunity there. \par

\par Euros 800,000 - negotiable
