Historical Estate With A Pool, Tennis Court And Spa In Lazio

Nestled in the rolling hills of Sabina, between Rieti and Rome, lies this magnificent estate dating back to the 1800s, completely renovated and now for sale. With an internal surface area of 1,350 sqm distributed between the main villa and an annexe, this property offers a refined and spacious ambience. Highlights of the property include a big panoramic terrace with breathtaking views over the valley, a designer swimming pool, a tennis court, a spa and a games room, all designed to guarantee an exclusive and relaxing living experience. The estate extends over 16 hectares of land, including a refined Italian garden and a splendid olive grove.

Situated in one of Italy's most fascinating regions, this villa enjoys a privileged location that offers all the tranquillity of the countryside yet is not far from lively and interesting urban centres such as Rieti and the capital. The surrounding landscape, characterised by rolling hills, olive groves and ancient villages, invites one to explore the rich history and culture of the area. Sabina is a land that since ancient times has been characterised by a deep agricultural vocation, particularly centred on cultivating olives and producing olive oil. Rieti, known as the ancient capital of the area, retains an authentic charm thanks to its historic buildings, medieval churches and picturesque views of the river Velino. Surrounded by lush nature, it offers breathtaking landscapes of hills, mountains and plains, ideal for excursions and outdoor activities, and its proximity to Franciscan sanctuaries and the Nature Reserve of the Lungo and Ripasottile Lakes. Rome, on the other hand, needs no introduction. The Eternal City is an open-air museum where history, art and culture unite. Every corner recounts thousands of years of civilisation, from the majestic ruins of the Colosseum to the wonders of the Vatican, from the splendid squares to the most secret alleys, fountains, palaces and monuments tell a story that knows no equal in the world.

The villa, built in the 19th century, is an example of historical architecture that has managed to blend classical elegance with modern comfort. The interiors have been finely restored, preserving valuable details such as the original frescoes on the ceilings and the exquisite marble floors and majestic fireplaces. The restoration has skilfully combined the historic splendour of the villa with advanced technology, such as a centralised air conditioning system and an internal lift, to ensure maximum comfort. 

The fabulous villa is spread over four levels, each with a precise division of space. On the ground floor, two spacious lounges and a dining room welcome guests with a warm and convivial atmosphere, ideal for hosting events and dinners, carefully prepared in the splendid eat-in kitchen, which opens onto a panoramic terrace. On the first floor, a master suite with an en-suite bathroom and three further bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, offer intimate and private spaces. The sleeping area on the second floor, with a master bedroom with three walk-in wardrobes and a spectacular view of the valley, represents the ultimate in comfort and privacy. Descending to the basement level leads to a wellness oasis, with a spa equipped with a hammam and jacuzzi, as well as a billiard room.

Outside, the property offers extraordinary spaces and facilities. Surrounded by a 16-hectare park, the villa offers a setting of rare beauty and tranquillity. The Italian-style garden, skilfully designed and enriched with large ponds and fountains, seems to transport us on a journey back in time. On the side of the building is a big swimming pool with a sun terrace, ideal for enjoying the beautiful summer days. A little further back, a tennis court invites for moments of pure enjoyment. The panoramic terrace on the other side offers a view of the entire valley and is the perfect place to relax at sunset. Completing the picture is a large expanse of olive trees that not only lends great charm to the property, but also offers an opportunity for olive oil production. The 300-sqm outbuilding is perfect for accommodating guests in total privacy or for service personnel. The garage, with space for 14 cars, is an additional comfort.

Buying this villa means embracing an exclusive lifestyle, where every detail has been designed to offer an unparalleled luxury experience. The history that permeates every corner of the property, combined with modern comfort and the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, make this residence an ideal retreat for those seeking serenity and prestige. The hillside location allows one to live immersed in nature while remaining within easy reach of Rome's cultural and artistic riches.
