Luxury Historical Villa With Park For Sale In Emilia Romagna

On the edge of a small town in Emilia, not far from Reggio and Modena, renovated manorial villa for sale. The property (over 1,200 sqm) boasts beautiful reception halls and a total of 8 bedrooms with the possibility of making several independent apartments. The extremely convenient location and the undisputed value of the building also make it very suitable as a location for events, weddings and seminars.

Basic services are all available in the nearby town, which is also easily accessible on foot (about 900 m), but the property is also very conveniently located to reach larger cities such as Reggio Emilia, Parma and Modena where more specific services are also available.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING
The villa (1,274 sqm – 13,708 sqft, 8 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms) is a large stately building dating back to the years between the 17th and 18th centuries, finely renovated and with much of the original finishes intact. The structure’s current appearance is the result of restorations carried out since 1886. Great attention was also paid to the energy efficiency of the building, which employs modern solutions (including underfloor heating and double glazing) to reduce costs and environmental impact.
• Basement: large garage (up to five cars) with central heating plant, elevator machine room and old ice cellar;
• Ground floor: living room with kitchen, entrance hall, laundry room with small service bathroom, kitchen with pantry, dining room, double living room with service bathroom, sitting room/reading room, two bedrooms with private bathroom, entrance hall with checkroom;
• First floor: living room with kitchen and terrace, large checkroom, dining room with open kitchen, living room with service bathroom, large formal dining room with sitting area, private study, bedroom with bathroom, master bedroom with double private bathroom and exclusive walk-in closet;
• Second floor: office space, three bedrooms with private bathrooms, large checkroom, four storages and two technical rooms;
• Third floor: office space with access to the panoramic turret, laundry room, sitting room with sleeping corner and private bathroom.

The current internal layout of the property would allow the building to be easily divided into three residential units, each with its own independent access. Alternatively, the property could easily be used as a luxury boutique hotel.

SYSTEMS AND SECURITY
The villa has been fully renovated since 2015. In terms of energy efficiency, low-emissivity double-glazed windows and doors were installed, an app-controllable underfloor heating/cooling system, temperature and humidity sensors for all rooms, and a heat pump assisted by a 66-kW generator set.
The security and video surveillance system covers the entire property, both internally and externally, with digital microwave intrusion detection system, infrared and volumetric sensors, and cameras (49 in total between interior and exterior).

EXTERIOR
The building is surrounded by a well-maintained and fully fenced 14,000-m² park. Built from scratch with the advice of landscape architect Silvia Ghirelli, it is equipped with 60 streetlights for night lighting and a state-of-the-art irrigation system that is fully programmable and electronically managed in its entirety (173 dynamic sprinklers + 256 static sprinklers). The green is fully fenced with galvanized mesh anchored to the ground by rebar (2 m above ground + 25 cm below ground).
A short distance from the building is the 12 × 6 m swimming pool with stone-paved sunbathing area. The villa’s greenery is sheltered on all sides by trees that provide great privacy and is the ideal setting for events and ceremonies, thanks to the flat nature and the possibility of installing marquees and gazebos for all needs.

All around the villa the land is covered in gravel and could easily be used as additional parking for guests.

If interested, the property has another 30.5 hectares of farmland located to the south of the park, just across the road, very suitable either for growing some local species or for building a parking lot.
