UMBRIA-CASTLE OF CARBONARA

 

A fairy tale medieval castle set high on a rocky outcrop, built in the 1300's and now on the market. The property has all the necessary architectural details that one would expect, buttressed walls, castellated walls, narrow passageways, huge timbers, parapets, mullioned windows, Juliet balconies, original wall paintings, chapel, vestry etc etc etc., in all some 40 rooms. There are five entry ways which would allow for the subdivision of the property into smaller and independent units. The 14 hectare of land, some 35 acres, is mainly lightly wooded and contains a substantial casa colonica which is in habitable condition. A unique opportunity to acquire an Umbrian castle for personal, business or investment use.
