Il Nuovo Trend: la casa cantoniera diventa villa di lusso

The real estate market has accustomed us to innumerable peculiarities, such as the conversion of deconsecrated churches or anti-atomic bunkers; there are also fascinating projects, such as the lighthouses put on the market by the State for (hopefully) careful recovery and enhancement activities. Now it is the turn of the roadside houses, which the state property has decided to dispose of in agreement with Anas, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Cultural Heritage. The buildings used until the 1980s, as a 'refuge' and operational base for road maintenance workers, have gradually emptied thanks to the greater ease of reaching the intervention sites. The maintenance costs thus proved unsustainable and the State Property passed to the sale. As the Immobiliare.it portal reminds us, the agreement allows them to be used as venues for territorial promotion activities; but "someone can already buy them, since many of the 1,224 structures are already for sale", says the trading site, so much so that on its platform there are several announcements regarding buildings of this type converted into homes, from North to South.
