This is a highly atmospheric Tuscan stone farmhouse with traditional tiled roofs, village character, and a genuinely impressive mountain panorama. However, the gallery shows mostly raw agricultural/storage interiors with no bathroom or finished living space, so it is a substantial renovation project rather than a home that could be occupied soon.
- Major renovation appears necessary: the interiors are raw, dusty storage spaces rather than living rooms.
- No bathroom is listed, and there is no evidence of a usable kitchen or modern utilities.
- Roof structures and some tiles look aged, so structural and roofing checks are essential.
