Contemporary villa and artist's home studio, winner of prestigious international awards, including the Honorable Mention at the Fritz Höger Preis in Berlin and inclusion in the TOP 10 Private House by Designboom in 2015.
Located in Manoppello, Abruzzo, this property, built in 2014, is inspired by traditional Abruzzo farmhouses. The architecture, characterized by a rectangular structure with brick cladding, is distinguished by large windows that frame spectacular views such as the Gran Sasso and Majella mountains.
The central block, entirely clad in wood, develops over two levels and divides the entire space (studio and living room) into two equal portions. In the central part of the property, there is the entrance, kitchen, two bathrooms, a small library, three bedrooms, and a small utility room. On the sides of this structure, there is a large studio with a majestic panoramic window and a large living room with a glass wall overlooking the outdoor pool and the magnificent surrounding landscape.
Built with great attention to modern technologies and following seismic regulations, the villa is equipped with underfloor heating (Velta), beneath which there is a ventilated crawl space built with Igloo technology that prevents rising damp or humidity formation; energy certifications and compliance certifications for systems; and certification for the natural phytodepuration system of domestic wastewater.
With a cadastral area of 297 sqm (3196,88 sq ft), the property includes an agricultural land of 36,275 sqm (390460,85 sq ft), rich in cherry trees, walnuts, olive trees, and oaks, also ideal for vineyard cultivation. Additional hectares of adjacent land are also available for purchase.
Strategically positioned, the villa is 190 km from Rome, 25 km from Pescara Airport, 7 km from the Majella Park, and 30 km from Gran Sasso, offering easy access to significant natural and cultural destinations.
This villa offers the opportunity to fully immerse oneself in nature, living in a modern, elegant, and refined environment.
