We are in the Municipality of Melle, in a privileged position near the Madonna della Betulla Sanctuary, where peace and tranquility reign supreme. Here, at an altitude of 1200 meters above sea level, the last house (by altitude) built on the southern side of Melle awaits you, ready to let you live a one-of-a-kind living experience.

This wonderful stone cabin is the ideal solution for those looking for an authentic and out of the ordinary place, far from the confusion of the city and immersed in a bucolic context, made up of lush woods, developed on terraces, once cultivated, presumably dating back to the 18th century, reforested due to the state of abandonment in recent years.

The house, which retains its original conditions from the end of the 18th century, was probably restored in some parts in the early 1900s. Today, the property is in excellent condition and can be restored to become a home of excellent size with a flat outdoor garden.

The property is surrounded by 8633 m2 of land and is independent on three sides. Furthermore, there is the possibility of purchasing the portion next to it, to make the solution totally independent on all four sides.

If you are a lover of nature, tranquility and privacy, then this stone cabin is the solution for you you. Here, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape, walking along the path that connects Melle to Frassino, through woods and breathtaking landscapes, a well-trodden path with points of interest such as the church of San Michele and the sanctuary of Madonna della Betulla which it is only 400 meters from the house.

Of course, it is not a solution for everyone: the house is located about 20 minutes by car from the town center and the road to reach it is unpaved for about 2 kilometres, therefore passable with an adequate vehicle . During the winter period, in case of snowfall, the hut can only be reached on foot or by using a snowmobile. Furthermore, there are still no water and electricity facilities. However, if you are looking for an authentic and out of the ordinary experience, you cannot miss this opportunity.

Possibility to purchase the portion next door, making the house free on 4 sides and equipped with over 11,000 square meters of land at a price additional of 5,000.00 and for a total amount of € 21,000.00.

Notes on the area: The sanctuary is of medieval origin, and probably dates back to the 12th century. The name derives from the miraculous apparition of the Virgin Mary among the branches of a birch tree. The Madonna appeared to a child who, at the time of the barbarian invasions, was fleeing after his parents had been killed. The exhausted child fell asleep in the place where the sanctuary stands today; upon awakening the Madonna appeared to him who consoled him, placed him in a sort of cradle carved into the rock (of which traces still remain today) and finally recommended him to pray often and to continue to be good. The original building was of modest size, and the fragment of a fifteenth-century fresco depicting a deposition probably dates back to it[4]. The sanctuary was transformed in the second half of the seventeenth century and then underwent a further expansion during the nineteenth century. The patronal feast takes place on September 10th. The Madonna della Betulla is often a destination for walks and picnics by tourists and hikers, even in winter with snowshoes.
