A Country Retreat in Duronia, Molise – Where Stone, Wood and Sky Meet

On the gentle outskirts of Duronia, a tiny village of just 384 souls resting on a rocky plateau at 918 meters above sea level, stands a unique country villa: a home that looks out over the landscape with serenity, where silence and light embrace each corner. Duronia, in the heart of Sannio, Molise, is a place suspended in time, its medieval center still preserving stone alleys, timeless views, and the rugged beauty of its three rocky outcrops that rise like guardians around the town.

Here, in a private but not isolated position, lies a detached property surrounded by 1,000 sqm of bright and peaceful land. The villa is the fruit of Rubner construction, where architecture meets nature: solid fir beams overlapping and interlocking with mastery, advanced insulation that keeps the house warm in winter and cool in summer, and sustainable wood treated with innovative techniques to guarantee durability and beauty.

The house offers 110 sqm spread over two floors, a space designed for both comfort and charm.

• On the ground floor, the kitchen (3.8 m x 4.27 m = 16.23 sqm) opens up as the beating heart of the home, perfect for gathering around the warmth of a meal. The living area (2.97 m x 3.23 m = 9.6 sqm) invites to relax, while the dining area (4.24 m x 5.36 m = 22.73 sqm) with its generous size is made for conviviality. A versatile bedroom/study (3.26 m x 2.97 m = 9.68 sqm) adapts to every need, and a bathroom with shower (1.71 m x 2.88 m = 4.9 sqm) completes the floor.

• On the first floor, a welcoming master bedroom (4.004 m x 3.37 m = 13.5 sqm) looks out onto the surrounding greenery. Nearby, a second bathroom (1.63 m x 2.88 m = 4.7 sqm) serves the night area, while a double bedroom (3.002 m x 3.19 m = 9.58 sqm) offers intimacy and comfort.

• Outside, a functional storage room (1.41 m x 3.19 m = 4.5 sqm) houses the boiler and has already been set up for a washing machine and sink, ready to become a practical laundry corner.

The villa is classified in Energy Class B, equipped with an alarm system, double-glazed windows with mosquito nets, and is sold fully furnished. Utilities such as water and electricity are already connected, making the property immediately habitable.

Duronia is more than a location—it is a way of life. A place where seasons still mark the rhythm of days, where nature stretches unspoiled, and where the atmosphere of an ancient village welcomes those who seek authenticity. From this home, one can rediscover the joy of waking up to birdsong, breathing clean mountain air, and living surrounded by landscapes that change color with each hour of the day.

This is not just a house. It is a refuge of peace and poetry, a timeless retreat where history, tradition, and comfort come together in one of Molise’s most authentic corners.
