Detached villa for sale in Medolla, Villafranca

COD 3063 LUXURY VILLA FOR SALE IN MEDOLLA COD 3063 LUXURY VILLA FOR SALE IN MEDOLLA The existence of the villa, dating back to the 17th century, is attested to by historical documents by the engineer Giovan Battista Boccabadati, who described it as a noble residence for landowners who managed lands owned by the Este family's Duchy of Ferrara. Later transferred to the Counts Marigliani and Abboretti, it was enriched over the centuries with architectural elements. The villa has therefore been a significant architectural and historical monument dating back to 1687. For this reason, following its most recent restoration, completed in 2015, it was included in the list of properties protected by the Superintendence of Cultural, Architectural, and Landscape Heritage of the Emilia-Romagna region. A property protected by the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage is a work of art protected by the state, a competitive advantage over other forms of long-term financial investment. The Villa was originally a tower building, but over the centuries the towers have disappeared, leaving in their place on the main facade facing the street, an elevation with the entrance ramp to the main floor, in typical 19th-century style. In the early 1990s, the villa was purchased by the current owners despite it being in a state of disrepair, and was then renovated by them, driven by a strong desire to contribute to the recovery of Italy's historical and artistic heritage. The historical periods and generations that have passed through them have left behind priceless beauties that we must understand and safeguard because knowledge of the past helps us plan the future, in art as in science. Current Events 'La Casa' is a place where practical and symbolic needs intertwine: this villa is currently inhabited because it is comfortable to live in: the spaces are functional enough for two families to live together, and maintenance is not expensive or time-consuming. 'La Casa' is a physical place and an emotional environment that defines us, welcomes us, and accompanies us through the different stages of life, becoming the setting for our affections and our deepest emotions, as well as our memories. If we add to these considerations the term beauty, understood as all the aesthetic and harmonious qualities that are pleasing to the eye, that inspire well-being and admiration, we can then affirm that Villa Raisi-Ghirardini punctually responds to these feelings. The owners have made the villa available for cultural events on several occasions, considering it a shared heritage whose fascinating history deserves to be shared with the community. The FAI (Italian Environment Fund) has requested that it be opened during the FAI Spring and Autumn Days, allowing thousands of people to visit.

The solution lies in the use of non-invasive technology in the latest restoration. Behind the harmonious blend of fine, antique materials are efficient underfloor heating systems and exterior walls that maintain a constant interior temperature. The investments made so far in energy efficiency position this villa as an example of hospitality at manageable costs, therefore suitable for luxury short-term rentals with high profitability, or suitable for events or film sets. The Villa has an almost square plan, approximately 20 metres x 18 metres at the base, on three levels above ground. In fact, the building has a ground floor, first floor (or piano nobile) and second floor. It has a load-bearing structure in solid brick masonry, flat floors and a pitched roof with a load-bearing roof structure in large wooden beams. All the elegant facades are in exposed brick. The most commonly used area is the main floor, consisting of a large entrance hall, the central living room, the kitchen with pantry, three bedrooms with private bathrooms, a fourth large room used as a living room, a study, and several storage rooms. To access the main floor, you go up the eighteenth-century staircase, which was recently renovated with the complete reconstruction of the tympanum and the bridge, using steel for the structure and the original bricks recovered from the collapse. The loggia entrance and other rooms of the Villa have a painted canvas ceiling simulating a frescoed and coffered ceiling, thus recalling the ancient decorated ceiling. The central hall, shaped like a domed vault, with a height of 9.25 meters at the oculus of light, is in grotesque style, restored post-earthquake, but dating back to 1898 and signed by the Modenese artist Vittorio Neri. Around the evenly lit central hall, the walls are decorated with decorations that continue to the ceiling with recurring and symmetrical lunettes featuring spiral, shell and grotesque motifs. The large bathrooms are equipped with functional furnishings and fixtures to provide moments of relaxation and sharing. The floor plans we make available here faithfully reflect the composition of the places. The Park The villa enjoys a 13,000-square-meter park, framed by trees that discreetly enclose the property. The nature trail within the park, passing historic trees such as yew trees, magnolias, and pagoda trees, as well as shrubs, camellias, and antique roses, is marked with plaques, as is customary in botanical gardens. This is another expression of the owners' passion for preserving beauty and memories. Current uses and immediate opportunities Compared to the offerings on foreign luxury real estate markets, historic Italian villas like this one offer unbeatable value for money, especially if they've already been renovated. Furthermore, in Italy, the taxation applied to properties declared to be of historical-artistic interest has a favorable regime both during the purchase phase and in subsequent rentals, as well as in the IMU (Property Tax). The current configuration of the villa allows for immediate operational use with multiple destinations: — Private residence and hospitality — Boutique hotel — Company headquarters — Venue for receptions, weddings and film sets — Real estate investment income with short-term rentals When an investment fund or other entity with capital invests in a unique asset that has already spanned centuries of history, ready to host the next chapters of a business or private enterprise, it chooses a non-replicable financial asset with a high long-term return.
