Villa 3 sovrum, 120 m²

Forgaria nel Friuli, Udine (provins)

If you are looking for a place to escape the madness in the world then this is the place for you! Hiding between meadows and woods the house can be found at an altitude of 800 metres above the village of Forgaria. It is stone built with mahogany window frames, a large terrace with a pizza oven and barbeque.  A large car park, easily accessible from the track.  It has three bedrooms one of which has an en-suite and a door leading to the balcony. Also there is a TV aerial and a pellet stove. The floor in the large bedroom is mahogany.The house bathroom overlooks the car park.  There is another door to the balcony from one of the other bedrooms. The ceiling over the whole top floor is wood and beams. Downstairs there is a live-in kitchen which has a large wood stove suitable for cooking on and there are four gas rings. The gas is supplied by a gas bottle. Electric and water is supplied to the property.  Through an archway there is the lounge with a pellet stove and a wood stove with a glass door. A garden surrounds the house filled with rose and lavender bushes, lilac trees, magnolia, gooseberry  and iris.  A large terrace to the front of the house which sweeps around to the West side, so sun all day.  Beyond the flowers a meadow opens up bordered by trees. Outside there are six properties on the track with just enough distance from one another so as to enjoy privacy but yet not too far as to feel isolated. Monte Prât is a tourist area and attracts lots of people, especially in the summer months. There are lots of walks along mountain tracks, boasting wild flowers and ideal for bird lovers also a favourite with mountain bikers.
The back of the house can be reached by a wooden door from the car park and steps to the terrace on the West side.  The back of the house  is quite secluded and provides some shade on hot afternoons, ideal for relaxing reading a book while having a coffee. The house faces South so there is sun all day on the terrace. 
It is roughly a two hour drive to Austria and Slovenia. The beaches to the south can be reached in one and a half hours. It is roughly 120 kilometers to Venice and Trieste.
There are three photos of Monte Prât to give some idea of the area. The photo of the lavender shop is at a pretty little village called Venzone a little further North on the road to Austria. There are many festivals, concerts and diverse markets plus a wonderful cuisine.

Forgaria is 15 minutes away where you can find two supermarkets, a butchers, pharmacy, a couple of hairdressers, a newsagent, post office
and a doctor.

The Health Service is very good as are the dentists. Water bills are very low. My last water bill which covered four months and seventeen days cost less than €12!! On a principal private residence there is no property tax. 1000 kilos of wood costs €150. Well worth thinking about!
