The main residence features a charming two-hundred-year-old cottage and a beautifully converted stone barn, together forming three independent dwellings that can accommodate 12 to 14 people.

On the first floor, there is a spacious bedroom and a well-appointed bathroom, ideal for a couple or a small family. The attached barn offers expansive living space, including a large kitchen and dining room for family gatherings, along with a living room and additional bedrooms, all adorned with traditional wooden finishes and modern comforts.
Located amidst the celebrated Valpolicella region, this property benefits from spectacular views over vineyards and olive groves, with Lake Garda visible in the distance. It combines historical charm with modern versatility, creating a stunning family home or a viable rental investment.
Additionally, the estate includes a vast 35,000 m² land plot, previously zoned for tourism development. It offers opportunities for building a high-end resort or residential complex, with local authorities having expressed support for potential projects. This combination of a ready-to-rent home and a development-ready land plot provides a unique investment strategy in this picturesque Italian region.

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.

Written purchase proposal with a small deposit (typically €1,000–€5,000). Binding on the buyer for an agreed period; becomes binding on both parties when the seller accepts.

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. 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).
