This property is currently used as an agriturism activity (or farm holiday) but could equally easily be converted into a private residence.
Agriturism holidays are very popular among Italians and such an activity is both a lucrative occupation as well as a pleasant one to pursue.
However, the property can either be inhabited directly as a villa with few changes, or let out as separate apartments on either short or long term lets.
It is immersed in the greenery and splendor of the Cilento National Park and is easily reached from Castellabate a few kilometres away, a village itself directly on the shores of the Mediterranean, Agropoli train station is 20 minutes by car, and Amalfi, Positano, Naples (& the airport) are 90 minutes by ferry or train/car. The closest major city, Salerno, is 40 minutes by car or train.
Internal Description
Ground floor: Large Italian style day area with open wood-fire place, currently configured for dining and lounging, large kitchen area area and cloakrooms.
First floor: 3 separate apartments each comprising:
Living room, bedroom and bathrooms; air conditioning, balcony.
External
The villa benefits from large patio area and balconies, plus lawns and a large swimming pool.
There are 50,000 square metres of grounds cultivated with olive trees, fruit trees and vegetable crops. Possibility to keep livestock.
Local Delights: The sea, olive trees, olive oil, wine, fresh air, pristine landscapes, longevity and philosophical contemplation. The many archeological sites, including the Greco-Roman temples at Paestum and Elea are a short drive (35 minutes).
The Cilento region has become famous for its inhabitants' long-lived lives, probably due to a combination of high oxygen, olive oil (one of the best in the world), chili peppers and, if the locals are anything to go by, having many children.
Moreover, this part of cilento is littered with signs of early "philosophical activity", dating back to the 6th Century BC. Indeed, the whole of the Cilento Coast was inhabited by some of the greatest philosophers of all time, among them Parmenides, Pythagoras and Zeno. If you don't quite find the answer they were searching however, you may console yourself with excellent wine and delicious cuisine, among other delights.
Over all comments: Beautiful property, close to the sea. Enjoy simplicity, nature and quality yet not be far away from centres of activity and interest.
