Enjoy the beauty and tranquility of owning your own piece of Italian history in the form of this stunning 5 bedroom villa located in Emilia-Romagna, Parma, Italy. This striking property, which dates back to the mid-19th century, is nestled within Emilia-Romagna’s first Regional Park for Parks and Biodiversity in the Western Emilia region. Just a few kilometers from the vibrant city life of Parma, this villa exudes an atmosphere of tranquillity and timeless elegance, framed by centuries-old trees, lush plants, and native flowers, including the fabled Parma violets.
The villa’s architecture reflects the Mitteleuropean influence of Maria Luigia of Habsburg Lorena, who, after being assigned the Duchy of Parma Piacenza and Guastalla, invited esteemed artists to her court, thus instigating significant transformations in the locale. This history lesson is continued in the form of the adjacent rural building, which mirrors the charming aesthetic of a small Austrian country house.
In 1971, the villa underwent a comprehensive renovation. Fine materials were used, with walnut wood and handcrafted terracotta flooring in the living area. The bedrooms feature wooden parquet flooring, all radiating warming tones of history and comfort. The master bathroom shines with "Bisazza" ceramics while the hallways and stairwell showcase "spatolato" finishes. All throughout the house, large fireplaces and chimneys add a cozy touch to each room.
On the ground floor, you'll find the inviting living area with a spacious dining room, comfortable living room, a bathroom, and well-equipped kitchen. Traveling upstairs reveals five large bedrooms, a study, two more bathrooms, and various rooms for utilities.
The additional rural house comprises more usable space with rooms, utility rooms, arched doorways, a storage shed, and an expansive outdoor area, offering the possibility to create an annex for a reception activity.
Through it may be nestled in nature, the villa is conveniently located near the Golf Club of Sala Baganza. It's also remarkably close to Parma, providing easy access to urban amenities, without sacrificing the peace of country living. The property also enjoys connection to major highways, high-speed train stations, and Parma’s International Airport. It's a stone’s throw from the Ti-Bre Ciclovia which is famous among sustainable tourism enthusiasts.
Considering the property's condition, it's well maintained and requires no immediate attention apart from a few minimal upgrades to fit your personal taste. This is your opportunity to own a home that combines the charm and historical significance with updates that cater to modern requirements.
