Set among verdant hills close to Padua, this stone rustico affords lovely views over lush vineyards, olive groves and fields

Looming large over the fertile Padana plains, the Euganean hills gently rise and fall in a perfect mosaic of greens. The fern and myrtle hues of thick chestnut woods, sheltering common mushrooms and rare wild lilies in their undergrowth; the bright emerald of meadows, providing the backdrop for the vivid white, pink and yellow of shrub flowers; the glinting silver and the rich kelly green of neat vineyards, ringing ancient borghi and forbidding castles in a soft, verdant crown. This is the heart of Veneto, a place where Mediterranean and pre-Alpine landscapes blend and marry.
Here, just outside Vo鈥 Euganeo, within the hill鈥檚 regional nature reserve, Properties in 天美传媒 are selling a lovely stone rustico in need of work.
Perched up in a panoramic location, it is a typical Euganean cottage, built in vernacular style with honey-hued stones and brown wooden shutters.
鈥淭he rustico鈥檚 architecture is typical of the Euganean hills,鈥 says Andrea Redivo of Properties in 天美传媒. 鈥淲hat makes it really special, however, is its wonderful setting among the hills.鈥
The windows, he explains, frame 鈥渆nchanting鈥 views over tidy vineyards, lush fields and the gentle slopes beyond.
The building is in sound structural condition, as the roof and walls have already been refurnished. However, it needs to be completely renovated inside, offering buyers a great opportunity to tailor a picturesque country home to their own requirements.
鈥淭he rustico鈥檚 interiors need to be completely refurbished, but access to all the utilities, including the telephone, is already available,鈥 says Redivo.
Even better, the property comes with some 10,000 square metres (just over 2.74 acres) of its own vineyards and olive trees.
The price is on application through Properties in 天美传媒. For more information, contact +39 349 4520481 or visit .
