Italian Villa Home with Chapel, Gardens and Land for Sale near Teramo, Abruzzo
This restored 18th-century Italian villa home is for sale near Teramo in northern Abruzzo, with 1,790 square metres of buildings, 5.5 hectares of land, formal gardens, staff accommodation, a private chapel, a lake for irrigation and views towards the Abruzzo hills, mountains and Adriatic Sea. The estate is set in an open and sunny position with excellent paved-road access, around 6 km from Teramo and within easy reach of the Adriatic coastal towns of Giulianova, Roseto degli Abruzzi and San Benedetto del Tronto.
The property forms part of a small historic private hamlet that was acquired in full by the ancestors of the current owners. It offers privacy without isolation, with local services around 4 km away and Teramo approximately 10 minutes by car. The location gives buyers access to both inland Abruzzo and the Adriatic coast, while Pescara Airport is approximately 55 minutes away.
The main villa measures approximately 1,125 square metres over four levels and includes 11 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms. The building has been restored with respect for its historic character, retaining exposed stone and brick walls, terracotta floors, graniglia flooring, wooden floors, vaulted ceilings and frescoed interiors. The ground floor includes a private manorial chapel, suitable for family use, religious ceremonies or as part of a private estate setting.
The upper floor is currently in builder’s finish, giving the new owner scope to create additional accommodation, private leisure space or a wellness area, subject to the necessary permissions. The villa layout may also allow the creation of multiple independent residential units, which could be relevant for buyers considering a family estate, private retreat or hospitality use.
A large panoramic terrace provides open views across the countryside, with sightlines towards the mountains and the Adriatic Sea. The main living areas include period details and a large historic fireplace, giving the property the scale and character expected from a luxury historic villa in Abruzzo.
A separate wing with independent access contains a caretaker’s apartment of approximately 49 square metres, arranged with a living room and kitchenette, two bedrooms and one bathroom. This provides the estate with practical staff accommodation or guest space, separate from the main villa.
The grounds include an Italian garden and a well-maintained park of approximately 8,500 square metres, with shaded areas, outdoor seating, and space where a swimming pool could be created, subject to planning consent. The wider estate extends to approximately 5.5 hectares, including around 4.6 hectares of agricultural land, mainly tree-covered and potentially suitable for local crops or estate planting.
Additional buildings include a 393-square-metre warehouse currently used for vehicles, tools and storage, together with 223 square metres of service rooms, workshops and agricultural storage areas. A private lake supplies irrigation water during warmer months, and a 20 kW photovoltaic system on the warehouse roof helps cover much of the estate’s energy demand.
This luxury Abruzzo real estate opportunity is suited to a buyer looking for a large historic Italian villa home, a private family estate, a residence with staff accommodation, or a potential hospitality property near Teramo and the Adriatic coast.
