Mill house for sale in Emilia Romagna

A beautiful mill dating from the 1500s set in the ski area on the Tuscan-Emilia Romagna border. This house, set in its own grounds, has over the centuries become part of the pretty town of Pierpelago with its many bars, shops and restaurants.

Great care has been taken to ensure that the historic charm of the building has been preserved. The huge wooden mantelpiece of the fireplace bears the date of 1593 as does the locking device on the cellar doors. The mill wheel is still functioning and until fairly recently was operated commercially.

The property has its own gated driveway and a large garden (2005 square metres) which slopes down to the river. The house has a spacious kitchen, living area with beamed ceilings and stone sink and huge fireplace. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on this floor.

The floor below, which was previously a studio with French door onto the garden, could provide a third large bedroom or second lounge. There is also room to install a second bathroom on this floor. There are two large cellars housing the mill wheels, an outbuilding and a bread/pizza oven.

There is also an old prefabricated home in the garden of 30 square metres. This could be rebuilt in stone as a guest house as the building is registered.

The house has a new roof and is generally in good repair. Some cosmetic styling could make this a dream ski lodge in the winter months with around 100km of piste on the doorstep and a wonderful base for summer excursions into this magnificent walking/trekking area. Florence is 80km away, Modena 75km and the nearest airport Bologna.
