There is also a good bus route to the Lanciano town which has chic boutiques, restaurants, bars and a magnificent cathedral.
The accommodation is set over 3 floors and comprises of 5 good size bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a WC/utility room and a loft space (that could be developed into bedroom 6 but is used as a storage space at present).
There are two ground floor bedrooms both with en-suites, one of the bedrooms has its own independent entrance and lobby.
The other three bedrooms are on the first floor, two of the bedrooms have balconies to enjoy the views. The loft room is accessed by steps from the landing on the first floor.
The kitchen/dining room is an excellent size and ideal for large family gatherings, plus a cozy log burner. The lounge is also a good size with a pellet burner.

Outside

There is a formal fenced front garden and parking for about five cars. The arable land, approximately 6 acres in size, benefits from the Adriatic sea air and mountain air which makes it ideal growing conditions for pasta wheat.
There is also an olive grove with over 100 trees.
The log cabin is from Finland and used as a games room and storage.
The barn/garage has space for two cars. It benefits from a mezzanine floor allowing for extra storage.
The pizza oven which was commissioned for the present owners was made in Naples.
The original part of the house was built over 100 years ago. Over recent years the house has been renovated to make a comfortable family home that would also benefit from possibly being run as an Airbnb. The most recent repairs carried out were 2 new flat roofs in 2024.

Overall, this is a good size home in a beautiful surrounding and a short drive to the Adriatic coast, mountains and it's just 35 minutes from Pescara airport. A viewing is highly recommended.
