Prestigious 19th Century Historic Residence Surrounded By The Greenery Of The Boschi DI Carrega

Nestled in the heart of the rolling hills of Sala Baganza, just 20 minutes from Parma, within the enchanting natural setting of the Boschi di Carrega Regional Park, this elegant detached 19th-century villa is offered for sale. A property of remarkable historical and architectural significance, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic Italian country estate.

Surrounded by a centuries-old park and set within over 15,500 square metres of land including woodland, agricultural fields and vineyards, the estate offers an exceptional lifestyle for those seeking privacy, tranquillity and an exclusive setting, while remaining within easy reach of local amenities.

The villa is arranged over several levels.
The basement houses the original cellar rooms, preserving the authentic charm and character of a historic residence.
The ground floor welcomes guests through two independent entrances leading to a magnificent central hallway adorned with an elegant coffered wooden ceiling. From here, the principal living spaces unfold, including an impressive reception room with a fireplace and wooden wall panelling, a study, a kitchen, a pantry and a bathroom. A traditional masonry staircase with original terracotta steps gracefully connects every level of the residence.

The first floor comprises the sleeping quarters, featuring four spacious double bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite bathroom and a storage room. The central hallway is enhanced by natural light from two charming balconies with wrought-iron railings.
The top floor is dedicated to the attic level, where a large central corridor provides access to five attic rooms, including an expansive double room. From here, a wooden staircase leads to the property’s distinctive panoramic belvedere tower, offering breathtaking views across the surrounding hills, the parkland and the Parma countryside.

The interiors retain numerous original architectural features that reflect the villa’s rich heritage, including decorated ceilings, antique terracotta floors, monumental fireplaces, fine wood panelling, exposed timber beams and exquisite handcrafted details, all contributing to an atmosphere of timeless elegance.
The residence is also linked to an important chapter of Italian history. Historical records confirm that Giuseppe Garibaldi stayed here in 1861 as the guest of Marchioness Teresa Araldi-Trecchi. This distinguished connection further enhances the property’s historical and cultural significance within the Parma area.
The villa is currently habitable, although it would benefit from refurbishment and modernisation, offering an outstanding opportunity to restore and further enhance a residence of unique character. It is ideally suited either as an exclusive private home or as a prestigious investment for a boutique hospitality venture or representative estate.
