Monte Romano, Lazio 01010

Nestled in a prime location, the Marchionato di Paternostro Estate is a true gem set within the breathtaking landscape of the Tuscia region, just 60 minutes by motorway from Rome. This is a place where history, art, and nature come together, surrounded by centuries of heritage and spectacular scenery. Nearby lies Viterbo, the renowned "City of the Popes," with its magnificent medieval historic center and famous thermal springs, only 20 minutes away via expressway. The beaches of Tarquinia are within easy reach, while the prestigious Monte Argentario peninsula, a destination synonymous with luxury tourism, is approximately one hour away. The estate extends over approximately 13 hectares, offering a living landscape shaped by traditional DOP-certified olive cultivation. The land features a remarkable variety of scenery, ranging from gentle valley floors to panoramic hillsides. Running through the property from east to west is the picturesque Paternostro stream, naturally dividing the estate into two distinct areas connected by charming bridges that enhance both its beauty and character. The northern section includes a magnificent landscaped park of approximately 16,700 sqm, enriched by two flourishing olive groves covering around 12,000 sqm. Three principal buildings define this area: The Main Farmhouse (Casale Grande): a beautifully restored three-level residence of approximately 410 sqm, requiring only the completion of its interior finishes. A second building of approximately 120 sqm, in need of complete renovation. A third building of approximately 47 sqm, already fully renovated. Adding to the estate's unique charm are five caves carved into the volcanic tuff rock, while two entrance gates on the northern boundary provide access to the property. The main entrance follows a gently winding driveway lined with olive trees, oleanders, holm oaks, myrtles, and feijoa plants. It opens onto a spacious circular forecourt resembling a natural amphitheater, positioned before the façade of the Main Farmhouse and framed by concentric rows of mature trees that create an atmosphere of elegance and serenity. The secondary entrance, situated at a lower elevation, leads along a straight avenue bordered by plane trees and viburnum hedges, reaching the area of the buildings and caves, which is separated from the stream by a graceful row of linden trees. Crossing the bridges into the southern section, the estate unfolds into a picturesque rural landscape of meadows, valleys, and gently rolling hills extending to the large panoramic ridge. On particularly clear days, the views stretch all the way to the sea. A network of country paths winds through the parkland and agricultural areas, offering delightful walks and constantly changing panoramic vistas. Positioned gracefully atop a tuff rock outcrop overlooking the valley of the Paternostro stream, the Casale Grande is the architectural centerpiece of the estate. Carefully restored to preserve its authentic character, it offers the opportunity to customize the interior finishes according to the buyer's preferences while benefiting from a solid structure and high-quality restoration work. The layout is as follows: Ground floor: entrance hall, kitchen, dining room, spacious living room, two storage rooms, guest bathroom, and a cozy fireplace/reading area. First floor: two elegant suites, each with sitting room, bedroom, bathroom, and dressing room, plus one additional double bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Attic floor: an independent apartment comprising a large double living room, kitchen, dining area, two bedrooms, and one bathroom. Property Ref. 10632
