The Location
Nestled in the enchanting countryside of Lombardy, this historic property is located in the province of Cremona, an area rich in culture, history, and agricultural tradition. The estate lies within an expansive parkland, offering both privacy and connection to a territory renowned for its plains, rivers, and fertile lands. Cremona is celebrated worldwide for its musical heritage, particularly the art of violin-making, with masters such as Antonio Stradivari leaving an everlasting legacy. The surrounding province is a vibrant blend of historical towns, agricultural excellence, and a thriving artisanal industry.
The Property
This remarkable estate, once part of the Rocca di Villa Medici del Vascello, was historically the church and greenhouse of the fortress before being transformed into an elegant private residence. With an internal surface of about 2,559 square meters, set on a 10,000 square meter plot, the property spans multiple levels and has recently undergone careful restoration to revive its original splendor. The restoration preserved unique architectural features including vaulted ceilings, exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors, and original stone walls.
Part of the property is currently inhabited, while other areas remain in an advanced unfinished state, with an approved project underway to create additional apartments and rooms. The estate is surrounded by its own garden of 1.5 hectares, extending both in front and behind the main structure, and is part of a larger 105,000 square meter historical park that includes a lake, ancient trees, and heritage buildings.
The Ground Floor
The ground floor consists of a series of connecting halls, corridors, and rooms, reflecting the traditional architecture of the region. Many of these spaces have been restored, offering generous living and reception areas that can accommodate various layouts and functions.
The First Floor
On the upper level, several rooms are already in use, while others are awaiting completion as part of the approved development project. This floor presents an opportunity for further customization, whether for private residences, hospitality suites, or high-end apartments.
