Details

Beautifully renovated 3 storey, 4 bedroom stone house nestling in glorious landscaped gardens with olive and fruit trees, while enjoying wonderful scenic views from its unique elevated location near all amenities in Parrano.

Set "in the shade of two ancient trees", from which it takes its name, is this charming farmhouse, a typical rural dwelling of the late eighteenth century.

Renovated with taste and attention to detail, used in recent years as a location for artistic inspiration, it is a real local gem that enjoys absolute peace and privacy with the ability to walk to the services of the medieval village on which it overlooks and enjoying a breathtaking view of the landscape.

The property is on two levels. On the ground floor is a spacious living room with panoramic balcony, dining area, fitted kitchenette, bedroom with loggia, and bathroom.

There are two bedrooms with private bathroom which have been renovated with the utmost care and respect for the original structure, preserving walls with exposed stone and ceilings with wooden beams, on the first floor.

Some sections of the lime-plastered walls contain frescoes by the artist Maria Malara, a painter recognised on the international art scene.

In the basement, on two levels, with terraces and overlooking the village, there are seven rooms used as storage, utility rooms and a cellar with natural water vein.

All surrounded by private land fenced and cultivated with olive trees and fruit trees.

This art farmhouse has hosted numerous editions of contemporary art exhibitions with local and international artists. One event in particular had, in 2011 as guest of honour Anita Garibaldi, great-granddaughter of the hero, a historical event commemorated by a special plaque on the outside wall of the house.

Italy Property Buying Guide

1. Making the Offer to Purchase (Offerta)

Once you have found the property you wish to purchase you will start the process by making a formal offer to the vendor, the estate agent will act on your behalf and put forward the offer, a deposit will be made available, generally around (10,000 - 20,000 EUR). Once the vendor has accepted the offer it will be formalised in writing to the vendor in both English and Italian. If this is accepted the deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid to the vendor. This will form a legally binding contract. Neither party may withdraw at this point, the sale can be forced by either party or a claim for damages can be made. If the purchaser withdraws their deposit will be lost, if the vendor withdraws the purchaser can claim twice the deposit in compensation.

2. Signing the Preliminary Contract (Compromesso or Contratto preliminare)

The next step will take place between 1 and 3 months after the offer has been accepted, this is a formal agreement between the vendor and purchaser to sell and buy the property, this agreement is the Preliminary Contract and will contain the conditions and terms of the sale. It is important at this stage that you have a full understanding of all the details contained in the contract. We would strongly recommend that you appoint a Notary who is fluent in English. This document will include the purchase price, a detailed description of the property including completion date and will cover any obligations placed upon the buyer and the vendor. All information relating to the property including any planning permissions for the property and the cadastral details (a public record, survey, or map of the value, extent, and ownership of land as a basis of taxation). Once the Preliminary Contract (Contratto preliminare) has been signed a further deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid, this will generally be 10% - 20% of the purchase price. There will also be an estate agents Commission Fee (Provvigione) which will need to be paid at this point.

3. Signing the Final Deed of Sale (Rogito or Atto Notarile)

The purchaser must have a bank account in order to make the purchase on completion. The signing of the final deed of sale which will authorise the transfer of the property must be overseen by a Notary (Notaio). The buyer will select and hire the Notary, but they are members of an independent body of public/professionals who will draft the purchase deed, they will oversee the passing of the title legally from the vendor to the purchaser. The Notary will also verify the legality of the documentation and registration with the Conservatoria dei Registri Immobiliari and the Local Land Register.

4. Formalities to be observed after Completion

Foreign buyers should obtain a certified copy of the Purchase Deed (Rogito), which the Notary will have lodged with the authorities. Generally this will be available to collect around 2 – 3 weeks after completion. The Notary will also give you a form to complete for the the local authority (Questura) who will have been given formal notice of the purchase. Your Notary will help you to complete this form. You will need to contact the utilities companies to set up new contracts (power, water, telephone, gas etc.). If the property is a flat, the condominium manager (Amministratore del condominio) should be informed of change of ownership of the property.
