San Marciano
3000 m² residential and commercial building, unfinished, and surrounding lands of 9,000 m² (2.22 Acres) in a very strategic location in Sora. The property sits close to but set back from an  excellent link road with, in one direction close connection to the ‘Sora Centro’ exit of the Avezzano-Cassino highway (800 metres away) and a few tens of metres from the junction with Via Marsicana, a direct route into the heart of this important and growing regional town. The location is about 1000 metres from the city centre and is in that much sought after neighbourhood where the commercial district blends into the residential district and is in an area with ample green spaces. In addition the property is close to services including the regional hospital ‘SS Trinita’ (700 metres).  The entire property falls within the developmental expansion area (E4) of the current municipal PRG. This is an extremely well located site.

The building is in good unfinished condition and is of reinforced concrete construction with five floors above ground for a total area of approximately 3000 m². The ground floor is laid out for commercial use and has an area of about 600 m² with the floors above for residential use consisting of 20 apartments of various sizes. The penthouse apartments have generous open terrace areas, the middle floor apartments have covered balconies. The roof is of gabled type with covering in brick tiles, external infill panels are finished with plaster for the ground floor and exposed terracotta brick on the upper floors. With the exception of the ground floor the building has no interior finishes and will require systems and fixtures. The building has an area designated for parking which can accommodate up to 40 vehicles. Access is excellent with no impediment to construction equipment or vehicles and ample space is available around the building. This property can be found registered in the Urban Cadastre on - fg. 23 map 378. 

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 Sora 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 publicised 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 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 less than ninety minutes journey from central Rome or either of Rome's two airports.
