Elegant Historical Estate Between Lomellina And Oltrepò Pavese

Situated between Lomellina and Oltrepò Pavese, in a setting of rare tranquillity and natural beauty, this historical estate, with its extraordinary character, covers approximately 900 sqm spread across seven buildings. All set within 28 hectares of parkland featuring centuries-old oak trees, a natural pond and flower gardens that reach their peak in spring, when the roses and magnolias are in full bloom. Located approximately 40 minutes from Milan, the property offers a rare residential experience, combining the authentic charm of country life with proximity to the main urban and cultural centres of Northern Italy.

The main building of the estate is a manor house whose ground floor features a grand entrance hall, a sitting room, a study with a bay window overlooking the garden, rooms used as a tack room and wine cellar, as well as a garage and laundry room. The layout reflects the logic of a lived-in country home, where service areas interact with reception areas in a natural and functional way.

On the first floor, a spacious hall leads into the living area with a striking feature: a trompe-l’œil created by Pietro Annigoni, a renowned 20th-century Italian figurative painter, envelops the space in an evocative painted architectural perspective. The dining room, with its fireplace and big windows overlooking the park, the kitchen with its peninsula hob and pantry, two en-suite bedrooms and two multi-purpose rooms complete this rich and well-organised floor.

The second floor comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a walk-in wardrobe leading to the attic and the turret with its façade clock, a rare and fully functioning feature that is a distinctive element of the entire property and a testament to the care with which the estate was designed and maintained.

Adjacent to the villa is a second three-storey building, comprising six rooms, two bathrooms and an attic, which is therefore ideal for renovation and personalisation projects. The adjoining portico offers the possibility of being converted into an annexe, guest house or self-contained reception area.

Completing the property portfolio of the complex are a further 1,590 sqm of historic rural buildings: a rustic cottage with a portico, a barn and caretaker’s house, an agricultural storehouse, a building with a portico and two other rural structures. An architectural heritage of great potential, perfectly integrated into the estate’s landscape.

The park surrounding the villa is one of the property’s most evocative features: centuries-old trees, expanses of roses, magnolias and oaks mark a path that culminates in the natural pond at the lowest part of the grounds, a quiet refuge for herons, egrets and wild ducks. The private woodland, formerly a hunting reserve, lends the estate a naturalistic dimension of exceptional value. Two independent wells ensure the water supply, one for irrigation and one for domestic use.
