Built back in the early 1800s as a typical farmhouse, Green Tuscia Country Villa has been entirely upgraded to modern comforts with luxury finishes yet it perfectly preserves its fascinating rustic historical character. It spreads over two levels and has natural stone facades with terracotta brick details framing doors and windows, arches, plus two porches, and paved terraced outdoors for al fresco living surrounded by a maculated lawn. The interiors reveal impressive original stone walls, wooden beam ceilings, and great brick arches connecting the different living areas. All rooms have natural light and have been re-styled with handmade terracotta flooring throughout. The main living rooms on the ground floor have fireplaces and French doors. The family kitchen has been fully equipped with new appliances and a central island.

On the ground floor, a guest or staff quarter is also available, made of a living area and two bedrooms. In front of the porch, the old wood-burning bread oven has been converted into an outdoor kitchen great for parties and gatherings. Slightly detached from the manor house, two separate barns have been also converted, one into a marvelous three-bedroom guest house, and the second, into a romantic guest cottage with a living and an open loft bedroom. The Green Tuscia Country Villa has fantastic historical details and a rustic elegant atmosphere, entirely self-sufficient with a photovoltaic system for electricity supply, a natural drinking-water spring, a geothermal source heating system and underfloor heating throughout, striking an overall energy performance in class A+. A ready-to-move-in property, on the ancient “Via Francigena” route to Rome, just over an hour's drive, in the heart of upper Tuscia region, chosen by the Etruscans back before 770 BC for its ideal Mediterranean climate, bordering with Maremma, Tuscany and Umbria regions, and less than an hour from some of the most beautiful Tyrrhenian sea sites.
