Luxury Double Villa With Park And Marvelous Pool In Northern Italy

The Secret Ice House is a magnificent residence in Lombardia with a 200-years-old ice house.
This property is composed by two real estate units of around 220 sqm and 180 sqm for a total of 8 rooms and 4 bathrooms and they share a communal garden 1.500 sqm wide and a marvelous pool.

The property is located in the province of Pavia, just outside the center of Garlasco. It’s a city in Lombardia and it’s just 20 km away from Pavia and 50 km from Milan. Here we can find this luxury oasis of piece and quiet, but at the same time remaining near every important city.

As mentioned, the property is composed of two independent Villas.

Let’s start with the smaller one: We enter through the main entrance directly into the large triple living room, which features a bookshelf that spans three sides and frames a beautiful functional fireplace. From here, we find the staircase leading to the upper floor and a glass door that leads to the kitchen. The kitchen is also spacious and is made of masonry, so it will be included in the sale.

We return to the living room and, through the beautiful wooden staircase, we ascend to the first floor. Here we find a large bedroom with a walk-in closet and fireplace, a very large bathroom, a storage room, and finally a large square terrace overlooking both gardens.

Now let’s move on to the second house:
Here too, we access directly from the large living room, and from there, we take another beautiful wooden staircase to the first floor, where we find a room with beautiful windows, a habitable kitchen, a bathroom, and two bedrooms. One of the two bedrooms has a smaller staircase leading down to the ground floor, where there is a second bathroom. This part of the house can easily be separated to create a small one-bedroom apartment, thus making it a third unit that can be rented out.

The first garden is located exactly between the two residential units; it is a garden rich in plants and even has a small pond. The second garden is located directly behind the smaller house.
Inside, there are about twenty fruit trees, a porch with a barbecue area and pizza oven, various relaxation areas, an ancient icehouse, and a beautiful swimming pool.

The pool is truly stunning; it measures about 90 square meters and is located at the center of the garden, surrounded by changing rooms and various sunbathing and relaxation areas.

And last but not least: the 200-years-old ice house!
It is an original icehouse that is currently not in use but could be utilized as an Airbnb experience if properly restored.

Both real estate units are Villas on two levels and were renovated in 2003, while recently were renovated their facades.
The garden is a triumph of various plants, flowers and several kind of trees, some of which are fruit trees.
The landscaped garden is a beautiful frame for the incredibly vast swimming pool with a solarium area. Inside the property we can also find a Zen pond with fish and marsh plants.

However the real gem of this Villa is the enormous 200 years old underground ice house.
