Vigevano Farm
property details
for a Hub House co-operative coliving project

#3 🏅49%  REJECT • €120k • typical • rural • 1900m² hub • This is quite an unusual and appealing option, being both in a quiet and green setting, yet 10 mins outside a good town and 45 mins from Milan! The accommodation would be rustic (i.e. small rooms) although there's barns (and a ruined brick church) that'd be gutted for some larger modern facilities. The disadvantage is potentially pollution from Milan, and misty/fog even though according to data it gets more clear sunny days than a location further south near Perugia.
