Arpino, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy

Borgo Saint Martin - an entire Hamlet for sale just outside Arpino, only 90 minutes from Rome. Here is an opportunity to acquire an entire village, called "Saint Martin" consisting of 4 residential units, two of which are single dwellings and two are semi-detached for a total of 260 square meters.

Additionally there is land of 12,000 square meters - a communal area including the beautiful and ancient farmyard with old terracotta paving..

Village Saint Martin is well suited for the construction of a private residencial community with four homes; the overall renovation project plan includes the construction of a swimming pool serving the four housing units.

Currently the buildings are in a reasonable state of maintenance; however one has to be completely restored as it is a typical stone farmhouse but is not connected to any utilities. The other three units already have water and electricity services. The present project plan foresees a, updating of these utility systems, structurally the properties are in good condition and therefore principally need remodelling and modernisation.

The land attached to the four housing units is about 12,000 square meters on which it is possible to build a swimming pool amidst a wooded and verdant area for relaxation. The setting is silent, panoramic but not isolated.

The Borgo "Saint Martin" has excellent potential as a destination centre for tourists and also for groups of friends and family travelling together. It could become a small "dispersed" hotel or B&B with independent rooms and alternaive solutions for group accommodation. The price requested for the purchase of the entire village is Euro 110,000 negotiable: the estimated total renovation costs are approximately Euro 150,000.

Borgo "Saint Martin" is located just outside Arpino, a beautiful medieval hilltop town, with restaurants, bars, cafés, shops and services - everything necessary for day-to-day life.

ARPINO AND THE CIOCIARIA

Arpino is one of the major medieval hilltop towns in the area of Italy called the Ciociaria, the name given to the fertile land that lies south of Rome but north of Naples, situated inland in the hills in the heart of Italy.

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 Arpino 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 publicized 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, in the hilltop towns of Arpino, Veroli, Alatri or in the rolling countryside that surrounds them, 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.
