Restored Farmhouse for Sale in San Pietro Di Feletto, Veneto, Italy

Veneto, Italy: 180 Yr Old Farmhouse Completely Restored

A HOME IN THE VENETO

If you want to live the dream of A Year in Provence or Under the Tuscan Sun, then this home is perfection. And the bonus – the renovation has already been done!

This 180 year old farmhouse is located in Northeast Italy, 40 miles due north of Venice, in the foothills of the Dolomite Alps. This hillside home site, in the Prosecco wine region, is surrounded by vineyards. From the windows and grounds is an exhilarating view over the surrounding valleys to the village church steeples, a glimpse of the city of Conegliano on the horizon, and the Alps in the distance. Located a mile off the main road, the home is reached via a twisting, paved lane which climbs under a canopy of trees to the top of the hill.

The 2/3 acre property has been beautifully landscaped with large grassy areas, multiple garden beds, charming paths, rock walls, and the fully functional stone sink original to the house. In addition to the small vegetable plot, plantings include raspberries, blackberries, Concord grapes, and a small orchard of cherry, apple and pear. All this is enhanced by a magnificent towering pine at the front and a walnut tree at the back. In addition, there are fig, willow, olive and mulberry trees. A century old wine barrel, lovingly restored for use as garden storage, sits next to a rustic woodshed.

The house was meticulously updated in 1999-2000 to 21st century electronic and utility standards. The innate nature of the farmhouse was respected, enabling it to maintain its original bucolic charm. Care was taken to use indigenous and historically correct materials and methods such as hand made terra cotta floor tiles downstairs, hardwood floors upstairs, and hand hewn ceiling beams throughout.

The home -- originally a house with attached animal stalls -- has a total of 3,890 square feet of living space on three stories. The first floor includes a living room with beautiful old brick fireplace adequate to heat the ground floor. Through a matching old brick arch is a dining room and an open country kitchen with built-in pantry and plenty of space for work and dining tables. At the end of the house is a family room whose double doors open to a portico suitable for outdoor dining. A full bath, laundry room and storage areas complete the ground floor.

Several bedrooms are located on the second level. The exceptionally large master bedroom has an adjoining bath with dual shower, a wall of built-in closets and spectacular views, both front and back. A third full bathroom is located between two other bedrooms. In addition, there is a smaller room currently used as a study but comfortably suitable as a fourth bedroom. Finally, there is a large sitting room adjoining the master bedroom.

The third level is comprised of a huge single room currently utilized for storage and as a dormitory for numerous visiting grandchildren.

Situated in the small community of San Pietro di Feletto, near the cities of Conegliano and Treviso, this home is ideal for the international adventurer who wants to be enmeshed in a genuine Italian country setting with easy accessibility to schools, urban-quality shopping, cultural attractions, train station, and all the historical sites of the Veneto. The magical city of Venice and its international airport, the heart of ski country, and the beaches of the Adriatic can all be reached in less than an hour.
