GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

This contemporary villa and artist's studio has won several prestigious international awards, including an honourable mention at the Fritz Höger Prize in Berlin. It was also included in Designboom's top ten private houses in 2015.

Built in 2014, the property is located in Manoppello in the Abruzzo region of Italy and takes inspiration from traditional Abruzzo farmhouses. The architecture is characterised by a rectangular, brick-clad structure with large windows that offer spectacular views of the Gran Sasso and Majella mountains.

The central block, entirely clad in wood, extends over two levels, dividing the studio and living room into two equal portions. The central part of the property contains an entrance, a kitchen, two bathrooms, a small library, three bedrooms and a utility room.

To the sides of this structure are a large studio with a majestic panoramic window and a spacious living room with a glass wall overlooking the outdoor pool and the magnificent surrounding landscape.

Built with great attention to modern technologies and seismic regulations, the villa is equipped with underfloor heating using Velta technology beneath a ventilated crawl space to prevent rising damp or humidity. The property has energy and system compliance certifications, as well as certification for the natural phytodepuration system for domestic wastewater.

The property has a cadastral area of 297 sq m (3,196.88 sq ft) and includes 36,275 sq m (390,460.85 sq ft) of agricultural land rich in cherry, walnut, olive and oak trees, which is also ideal for vineyard cultivation. Additional hectares of adjacent land are also available for purchase.

Strategically positioned, the villa is 190 km from Rome, 25 km from Pescara Airport, 7 km from Majella Park and 30 km from Gran Sasso, offering easy access to significant natural and cultural destinations.
