Unique Historic Property for Sale Inside a Castle in Montazzoli, Abruzzo

A rare opportunity to own a piece of history within the Franceschelli Baronial Castle, perched dramatically on a rocky ridge in the heart of Montazzoli, a picturesque village in the Abruzzo hills. The castle dominates the surrounding valleys and rooftops — a true testament to its ancient defensive purpose.

The portion for sale is located on the ground floor and consists of two separate units, both with private access from the internal courtyard. The spaces retain the charm and character of an ancient residence, offering timeless beauty and the potential to create something truly special.

The Property Includes:

• Unit 1: A former kitchen area with bathroom and an adjoining room, totaling approximately 60 sq m. This space can be transformed into a cozy living area with character and history.

• Unit 2: A 30 sq m room that once served as the castle’s private chapel, featuring frescoes on the ceiling — a true gem for lovers of art and architecture.

• Cellar: A portion of the basement cellar, currently used as a woodshed, with direct access from the cloister.

Both units require renovation, but the stone walls, original features, and historical setting offer a one-of-a-kind canvas for restoration.

Utilities:

• Water and electricity need to be reconnected during renovation.

Additional Info:

• Free public parking is available nearby.

This is a truly unique property for those seeking a restoration project in a historical setting, with stunning views, medieval charm, and the opportunity to live within the walls of a noble castle.
