As we wind through agricultural fields, we arrive at the drive to the house, where there are electric gates. The drive is lined with cypress trees and woodland and leads you to the house. Already one gains the sense of the tranquility of the property and as we round the corner and see the house we are greeted with a large gravel parking area and also adouble garage, once a storage area for the current owners Ferrari’s!

Stepping out of the car, one is greeted by silence and sweet scent from the beautiful gardens with it’s roses, lavender and olive trees. Taking the steps up to the house, there is a grass garden area with an outside relaxing area underneath a gazebo and an outside eating area and doors that lead into the kitchen of the house.

As we enter the modern, fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and stools, there is also a fireplace and off the kitchen is a pantry/utility room that houses the electrodomestics, boiler and technical centre for the house. The kitchen has another set of french doors leading to the rear garden area and a patio that has a fabulous large covered eating area with a table making it an added space to the house that can be used in the warmer months to dine ‘al fresco’, read a novel or if one must catch up on a few emails!

From the kitchen, through wooden doors, we enter into the large dining room, table and chairs for 10 and amazing lighting that the current owners have purchased on their travels around the world.

Leading on from the dining room and down a few steps, we enter into the ground floor living room with wood burning stove and access to both the front and rear gardens. From the doors that lead to the front terrace and ground, there is a wood store and iron gate giving another main entrance to the house.

From the living room, one has a choice to take a few steps up or a few steps down that lead to service toilet, bedrooms and bathrooms. So, we took the steps down to the hall where again there is an access door to the front gardens, the service toilet and a corridor, with in built wardrobe to the bedroom. The bedroom is large with an access door to the front gardens and here we also find an en-suite shower room.

Taking the steps up from the living room and then another few steps down, we take a short corridor to another bedroom and pass a large bathroom on the right. Located in the corridor is another boiler and a double bedroom with a small balcony and view to the historic town of Preggio.

We take the stairs up to the first floor of the property and we are welcomed by a large library/sitting room with an access door to a terrace and outside steps that lead down to the dining room and kitchen of the property. It’s a very light and airy space due to the many windows and high ceiling height. From here we take a few steps up to the night zone of the house, where there is a space currently used as a walk in wardrobe, then on to the family bathroom and at the end the principal bedroom with double aspects windows, both to the front and rear of the property.

From the staircase, one can also turn left and passing through another corridor with in built wardrobe we enter another bedroom and a large en-suite bathroom with free standing bath and double size shower unit.

The outside of the house is a real must see and asset to the property with it’s beautiful gardens, shrubbery, mature trees and many different eating/relaxing zones that one can really appreciate the silence and nature of this house.

A path leads through the greenery and takes you up to the pool area therefore giving it a sense of privacy and stunning views over the valley and towards Preggio. The pool is an infinity edged pool and here there is a summer kitchen perfect for BBQ’s and again an ‘al fresco’ eating area and space to entertain and enjoy summer evening soirées under the Italian starlit sky.

From here the woodland expands and brings the sound of nature, tranquility and serenity to this wonderful farmhouse  to the property!
