La Casa nel borgo dei Vestini

Restored Historic Stone House with Garden

This beautiful and unique historic stone house of approximately 140 sqm represents a rare opportunity. It has been carefully restored and is equipped with modern comforts such as underfloor heating and double-glazed windows, while preserving its original exposed vaulted ceilings and elegantly arranged living spaces spread over two levels.

On the ground floor, there is a living room, a spacious kitchen with an open fireplace and a custom-built masonry kitchen featuring a copper hood, as well as a bathroom and a laundry room. From the living room, an open wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where, beneath the exposed timber roof structure, there are three bedrooms, each with its own walk-in wardrobe. Two of the smaller bedrooms share a bathroom, while the master bedroom benefits from a private en-suite bathroom.

The architectural design stands out for its attention to detail and the harmonious use of materials, blending traditional and contemporary elements. The combination of wood, copper, stone, and ceramic creates a unique and charming atmosphere, embodying the authentic Mediterranean lifestyle within a traditional stone house.

The property includes an adjacent garden of approximately 2,000 sqm, accessible from the outside, fully fenced and well maintained, and home to around 20 centuries-old olive trees.

The house is located on the outer edge of the historic center of Ofena, along a secondary road that also allows vehicle access. Parking is available nearby.

Completing the property is a charming 40 sqm former hayloft, in need of renovation and located directly opposite the entrance to the house. It is ideal for use as storage space, a bicycle and equipment shed, or can be redeveloped and enhanced according to the new owner’s needs and vision.

Ofena (AQ) is a small hilltop village in the Province of L’Aquila, known as the “Warm Heart of Abruzzo” thanks to its mild microclimate. Situated on the slopes of the Gran Sasso massif at approximately 530 meters above sea level, it overlooks the beautiful Tirino Valley and is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and rolling hills.

The area is renowned for its wine production, unspoiled rural landscapes, and proximity to the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park. It is also conveniently located approximately 55 km from the Adriatic coast and Pescara Airport.
