DESCRIPTION
In the stunning setting of Franciacorta — home of Italy’s finest traditional-method sparkling wines — we are proud to present this prestigious historic estate surrounded by a private park of approximately one hectare.
The property is located just minutes from Lake Iseo, the city of Brescia, and Lake Garda. Already recorded in the Napoleonic land registry, the estate is composed of two main buildings: the noble residence and the farmhouse. Several rural buildings, former stables, agricultural storage spaces, and a magnificent wine cellar with cross-vaulted ceilings complete the property.
The main villa, developed over two levels, features elegant frescoed rooms, several working fireplaces, and a modern heating system.
A large veranda running along the north side of the residence overlooks the central courtyard and acts as a refined distribution space connecting the living areas: the study, dining room, and kitchen. These rooms are also internally interconnected, suggesting a design inspired by the renowned architect Rodolfo Vantini — or by an architect deeply influenced by his refined interpretation of Lombard Neoclassicism.
Rodolfo Vantini (1792–1856) was one of the leading Italian architects of the 19th century and a key figure of Lombard Neoclassicism. The villa strongly reflects these noble architectural characteristics, including an elegant “enfilade” layout traditionally found in aristocratic urban residences.
The construction period of the villa perfectly coincides with Vantini’s professional activity in Franciacorta, further reinforced by the clear separation between the noble rooms and the servants’ quarters.
Owned by the same family for generations, the villa was built in the early 19th century as the bourgeois residence of important landowners. During the 20th century, one family member served as the local physician, leaving a refined Liberty-style influence in several frescoed rooms furnished with period pieces.
A beautiful staircase leads to the main salon, featuring triple exposure over the courtyard and private park.
The first floor hosts five large interconnected bedrooms, a library, and a bathroom.
The former servants’ wing retains a more rustic character, with spaces historically dedicated to cooking, wine production, and agricultural activities, including a hayloft, vaulted rooms, and a spectacular wine cellar with cross vaults.
The estate is surrounded by 9,500 sqm of greenery, ensuring absolute privacy and making it ideal not only as an exclusive private residence, but also as a prestigious headquarters for a winery or luxury hospitality project.
Two preliminary development studies are already available for:
• A luxury residence with 10 apartments, swimming pool, and wellness center
• A boutique hotel with restaurant, swimming pool, wellness center, and 20 luxury suites
