3 bedrooms detached house, 120 m²

Arpino, Frosinone (province)

Casa Lucia is a detached house located in the valley below the historic hilltop town of Arpino. This independent one-level home of 120 sq.mt. benefits from a large courtyard for car parking and a garden of about 400 sq.mt meters.  The property is well-positioned for sunlight, with good road access, and is quiet and private without being isolated.

The house requires mandatory safety building works due to land subsidence at the rear of the house which caused damage to part of the roof and a bedroom.  The cost of these required works has been quantified, by means of an inspection by a qualified technical engineer, as being approximately € 23,000; the house is offered for sale for the proposed but negotiable  price of € 79,000.00 as representing a fair real estate asset value with scope for appreciation after considering both the purchase price and the cost of the required safety works. 

The interior of the house is in good condition, except for the bedroom where there is some water infiltration caused by the damage to the roof from the land subsidence. 

Casa Lucia is configured follows: 

• predisposition for a pedestrian and electric gate (the supporting columns are already present; 
• entrance and corridor of 11 sq m. 
• living room of 30 sq m, 
• kitchen with fireplace of 18 sq m with door / window for access to the garden,

Price negotiable.


ARPINO AND THE CIOCIARIA

Arpino is among the many enchanting medieval towns in the area of Italy called the Ciociaria, the name given to the fertile land that lies south of Rome but north of Naples, situated inland in the hills in the heart of Italy. The Ciociaria region is within easy reach of both Rome and Naples and their respective airports. A day's shopping in Rome is a common pastime, while an even shorter drive brings you to the charming beaches south of Rome. Alternatively, drive east, and the mountains of the Abruzzo National Park await with horse trekking in the magnificent beech forests, and sparkling mountain lakes and rivers where you can swim in the heat of the summer. And at the other extreme of temperature, although Arpino itself is temperate, less than an hour's drive brings you to the winter ski slopes.

Often overlooked, both by tourists and by those foreigners in search of an Italian home, in favour of the more publicized regions of Tuscany and Umbria, the Ciociaria remains largely an unspoilt gem with beautiful scenery and medieval hilltop towns. A home or second home in the Ciociaria, in the hilltop towns of Alvito, Arpino, Veroli, Alatri or in the rolling countryside that surrounds them, will afford you a setting where over two thousand years of history combine with an idyllic rural Italian lifestyle, where you can still discover the 'real' Italy and take time out from the busy crowds of the larger tourist cities, while being only 90 minutes journey from central Rome or either of Rome's two airports.
