About this place
In an old house dating back to the 18th century in the historic centre of Castelli Calepio, we offer an elegant EARTH-SKY BUILDING of a total of 400 sqm distributed over 3 floors, with an exclusive park of 600 sqm and a private courtyard of 100 sqm. The building presents itself externally with its original architectural structure, expertly preserved, with great attention to aesthetics in the choice of colors and details, all in a setting of classic charm that recalls the villas of Provence. What is surprising when entering is the refinement of the wall decorations that accompany every room on walls and ceilings, depicting landscapes, coats of arms, floral embroideries and themed frames, with strong references to the Art Nouveau style; especially in the veranda at the entrance, the extraordinary wealth of these decorations and the large arched windows make the space an enchanted atmosphere. The floors are valuable in terracotta and parquet; spectacular ceilings with exposed beams, truly unique those with vaulted structure of the living area. The floor plan of the house is distributed over 3 levels connected to each other by internal stairs: the Ground Floor (150 square meters) includes entrance with large veranda, corridor, living room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom; the First Floor (150 square meters) includes corridor, 4 large rooms, storage room and bathroom; the Second Floor (100 sqm plus 50 sqm storage room) includes an open-space living room, bathroom and two study rooms; on the various floors some renovation work is necessary. The property is accessed thanks to two entrances, one pedestrian, which from the private courtyard goes on the main street of the town and one road on the opposite side, which enters the park; here, if you want, there is a general project where it is possible to create 3/4 underground boxes, in order to allow direct access to the property. The property, free immediately, is located 15 minutes from Lake Iseo and 5 minutes from the motorway exit of Ponteoglio is therefore an interesting solution as a tourist-hotel type structure for example Bed & Breakfast as well as a valuable home. The villa has also been for many years a place of studies and cultural meetings, so it is also ideal for artists as a venue for events and exhibition of works.

Open in Google MapsBuying property in Italy
Italy is open to most foreign buyers under reciprocity rules (EU/EEA buyers always; non-EU buyers from countries with bilateral agreements, which covers the UK, US, Canada, Australia and most major markets). A codice fiscale is required, and a notaio handles the conveyance as a neutral public official. An independent lawyer or geometra is strongly recommended for due diligence.
The €1 home schemes in southern villages are real but come with strict renovation deadlines (typically 3 years) and security deposits.
Non-resident mortgages from Italian banks are available but limited (typically 50–60% LTV).
The prima casa (primary residence) tax rate of 2% requires you to declare residency in the same comune within 18 months of completion — failure means back-taxes plus penalties.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
