Single family villa via Tavola d'Argento, Rieti

In one of the most evocative places of Sabina with a dominant position over the surrounding valley with a splendid view of Mount Terminillo, just 3 km from the historic center of the city of Rieti, we offer for sale a 19th-century historic villa surrounded by about 40,000 square meters of secular park. The villa has architectural features inspired by the neoclassical style, very simple in layout, has a rectangular shape and only two emergences; the first represented by the turret on the north side of the building and the second by the staircase on the south side, which allows access with a double ramp staircase (vaguely reminiscent of that of Villa Farnese in Caprarola) to the "Italian" garden and to the belvedere overlooking the city. The Villa develops on the ground floor representative rooms such as a living room with fireplace, two living rooms, a dining room, a large kitchen with independent entrance and bathroom. An imposing wooden staircase leads to the first floor where we find seven bedrooms and four bathrooms.
On the east side of the villa there is an outbuilding with service rooms for the villa, which houses the remains of a deconsecrated church; the hall of the ancient church, transformed into a ballroom or music hall (theatre), ends with a small exedra.
The villa is surrounded by a high stone wall which protects and guards a beautiful secular park, full of local essences , with contaminations of essences typical of milder climates such as palm trees.
Inside the park next to the villa and surrounded by greenery, there is a small circular chapel with a dome and central oculus, similar to a miniature of the Pantheon. Along the driveway to the villa, a hemicycle, once used as an animal market, has been transformed into a tennis court;
A small obelisk is finally placed to identify the curve of the avenue after which the west facade of the villa appears in all its rigorous beauty.
The villa has just undergone a complete restructuring and anti-seismic consolidation intervention.--1ae0ea7565959568471d73fe8c4d269e!
