The excellence of the Great Estate network, combined with the experience of consultant Suzanne Van Ravenstein, was able to turn a wish into a wonderful reality.
Sean Greenberg and his family live in Texas, but they had long dreamed of living in Europe. Italy in particular had always fascinated them with its perfect mix of history, culture, and natural beauty. So the choice to embrace a new way of life was almost entirely natural.
THE DISCOVERY OF A SPECIAL PLACE
The search for the perfect home began by consulting listings on an international real estate portal, but it was through Great Estate that the dream began to take shape. Sean’s wife Lauren carefully reviewed each listing until one farmhouse captured their hearts: La Meditazione.
An authentic place, far from the modernisations that sometimes alter the charm of historic homes. Surrounded by land, peace and privacy, this dwelling located in the town of Città di Castello, just twenty kilometers from Perugia, represents exactly what the family wanted: a retreat immersed in nature, yet in an ideal location for setting off to discover the cultural wonders of Italian and European cities.
A NEW BEGINNING IN UMBRIA
And that’s how the green heart of Italy turned out to be the perfect destination.
A region, Umbria, rich in history and tradition, but above all a place where Sean and Lauren Greenberg’s family could finally find serenity away from the chaos of city life. The choice of “unschooling” for their children fits perfectly with this new chapter: a free education, inspired by nature and culture, without giving up the endless opportunities for growth that Italy can offer.
A SURPRISINGLY SIMPLE BUYING EXPERIENCE
While buying property in Italy may have seemed complex at first, the reality proved quite different. Great Estate’s site made it possible to view unique listings; the quality of service and the human approach really made the difference.
In fact, thanks to the support of the Great Estate team and the crucial role played by Suzanne van Ravenstein, the network’s consultant who followed every step of the buying and selling process with professionalism, helpfulness, and an extraordinary attention to the Greenberg family’s needs, the buying process turned out to be simpler and more straightforward than Sean and his family imagined.
A DREAM COME TRUE
Today, Sean Greenberg and his family live their dream immersed in the unspoiled beauty of Umbria, in a home that tells stories of times past and is now ready to write new ones. Their choice is an expression of freedom, the rediscovery of authentic values and the desire to live in harmony with nature, without giving up the culture and beauty that only Italy can offer.
