Between Terni and Spoleto, a stone's throw from the Marmore Falls, this historic farmhouse in need of renovation emerges from the greenery of the Valserra valley in the charming village of Rocca San Zenone. Registered as a residential building, the farmhouse is free on three sides and extends over three levels for a total of 90 square meters. The ground floor features the kitchen and cellar, with an antique fireplace—the old hearth that was once the heart of farmhouses. The upper floors contain the bedrooms and bathrooms (to be renovated), connected by an existing external staircase and/or an internal staircase to be renovated (there is a passageway). Although the attic requires renovation, the load-bearing structure and roof remain intact, making it a small gem nestled in the midst of nature, in a magical and pristine landscape. The property enjoys a sunny location and wonderful views of the surrounding streams and valleys.
The property includes a large garden/green area of ??approximately 200 square meters and adjacent land with olive trees and other local cultivars. The property is accessible via a slightly uphill path approximately 150 meters into the village, and parking is conveniently available outside the old village. Please note that this small house is the last one still unrenovated within the fully inhabited old village.
Rocca San Zenone is just 5 km from Terni and can also be reached by bus no. 6, which stops 200 meters away. Its location makes it easy to reach cities of art, such as Spoleto and Norcia, as well as the Rieti side of the valley leading to Lake Piediluco.
The name Rocca San Zenone recalls the presence of the castle, an outpost guarding the Serra Valley. Traces of the medieval fortress remain, including ancient watchtowers, defensive bastions built to defend against enemy attacks. The Church of San Giovanni, whose original layout dates back to before the 13th century, predates the city walls. A journey into the past for those seeking the magic of authentic Umbria.
