Elegant, Renovated Period Villa Between Lombardy And Piedmont

In the heart of the leafy countryside between Lombardy and Piedmont stands a period villa for sale that retains the aristocratic charm of residences of yesteryear. This elegant, renovated historical estate has an internal surface area of approximately 850 sqm and is surrounded by a private garden of over 7,000 sqm, perfect for reintroducing a swimming pool, which was present in the past, thus recreating a corner of authentic well-being. Spread over several levels and embellished with two big porticoes, the property includes numerous functional and versatile rooms, promising a high quality of life, made up of privacy, harmony and comfort.

Its location is a small town in the province of Pavia, which acts as a natural link between the rolling hills of Lombardy and the foothills of Piedmont. Here, the landscape alternates between rural views and stately villas surrounded by greenery, in a secluded but well-served setting. In just a few minutes, you can reach Vigevano, with its castle and magnificent Renaissance square, and the historic heart of Pavia, rich in art and culture. The proximity to Milan (less than an hour's drive away) makes this property ideal for those who want a peaceful retreat without sacrificing their connection to the city. Its proximity to the border with Piedmont also allows easy access to the villages and landscapes of this region, including Novara, a hub between the hills and Lake Maggiore.

The property has its roots in the historical and architectural heritage of the area and is now in excellent condition, with original finishes restored and enhanced with great care. The sober and refined exteriors express the classic elegance of country manor houses, with symmetrical openings and harmonious lines. Certain details, such as the high, painted ceilings and period floors, still tell a story of continuity and respect for the past.

On the top floor, the attic surprises with a large central living room, two other cosy bedrooms, a big bathroom and access to a private terrace, perfect for relaxing moments with a view of the park. The basement offers additional service rooms and multifunctional areas, ideal for domestic or recreational activities.

Crossing the threshold, you enter a large, light-filled entrance hall with marble floors, columns and a monumental staircase leading to the upper floor. The living area on the ground floor consists of a conversation room with a fireplace and library, a bright parlour and a big eat-in kitchen with a dining room. On the first floor, the sleeping area has three bedrooms with parquet floors, elegant and quiet, overlooking the surrounding greenery. On the top floor, the attic has been converted into an intimate panoramic apartment, lit by roof windows and featuring a spacious living room with a kitchenette, two bedrooms, a large bathroom and access to a private terrace, ideal for enjoying the view of the park. In the basement, the tavern retains exposed beams and bricks, creating a cosy and traditional atmosphere, with a large fireplace and ample space for socialising. 

Outside, a private park envelops the villa in a green oasis of tranquillity and privacy. Tall trees, manicured hedges and flat lawns create an idyllic setting, perfect for walks, receptions or moments of simple contemplation. Two covered porches further enhance the property: one has been equipped to accommodate up to three cars, while the other is currently used as a hobby area, ideal for creative or leisure activities. The existing swimming pool can be easily restored, giving the villa an exclusive relaxation area to enjoy the summer to the fullest. The generous size of the land also allows for further customisation of the outdoor spaces with themed gardens, sports areas or greenhouses.

Buying this villa means treating yourself to a charming estate immersed in the tranquillity of the Lombardy countryside, with convenient connections to the main urban centres of Northern Italy. The proximity to cities of art such as Pavia and Vigevano, with their cultural, food and wine and tourist offerings, enriches the living experience, making this property ideal both as a prestigious primary residence and as a leisure home. It is the perfect place for those seeking space, privacy and authentic beauty, in a setting where time seems to pass more slowly, in harmony with nature and the history of the area.
