For sale a 230 sqm villa immersed in the greenery of the hills of Lake Garda. With its 8 beds, 4 bathrooms, heated outdoor pool, and relaxation area (SPA), it’s a perfect retreat.
The history of this property begins three centuries ago. Considering the construction details of this splendid farmhouse, located a few kilometers from Gargnano (on Lake Garda), the first building dates back to the early 1700s. Certified traces of its existence can be found in historical Napoleonic maps dated 1823, where it appears as a rural building predating the mapping.
In 2020, the building was completely renovated. During the renovation process, materials and construction techniques rooted in local architectural tradition were used, incorporating natural lime-based products. This architectural recovery has enhanced the existing rural building beautifully.
Outside, the property features a private park, a heated pool, and a porch with a relaxation area. There’s a pond with goldfish and a 200-year-old lime kiln reimagined as a grilling area. The property is bordered by a river, and the vast natural park surrounding the villa is part of the Alto Garda Bresciano Natural Park – Natura 2000 Network (the European Union’s main tool for biodiversity conservation, aimed at maintaining natural habitats and rare flora and fauna).
During the renovation, the historical memory of the existing openings was preserved, leaving a clear architectural mark to maintain the original distribution of the internal spaces. The villa is equipped with a home automation system and audio distribution in every room, allowing music saved on personal devices (tablet or smartphone) to be played through a Bluetooth connection.
Every detail of the villa has been designed to meet the natural desire for comfort and relaxation. The electrical system is fully automated: lighting will be controlled through panels distributed throughout the structure, programmed for preset settings (day, evening, or relaxation). Guests can also control individual light points as they prefer. USB charging points are available next to beds and throughout the spaces for guests’ portable devices.
The heating system can be controlled remotely, with heating (and cooling in summer) provided by air fan-coils. Hot water will be generated by a significant solar thermal system. The outdoor area is under surveillance with intrusion detection cameras, perimeter windows are protected by sensors, and the exterior is secured by a video alarm system. The gate area is also monitored by cameras to prevent unwanted access.
The wellness area includes a 2-person hot tub, an emotional shower with scrub jets and relaxation massage, a cold shower, and a wonderful sauna. The wellness area is located on the level facing the outdoors, designed for easy access. After relaxing in the SPA, guests can freely step out in a bathrobe to enjoy a herbal tea, have a snack in the adjoining gourmet kitchen area, or relax under the pergola by the pool.
The estate covers 18 hectares, completely surrounding the property and providing privacy and exclusivity. The descent to the river reveals unexpected nooks, creating a true lovers’ path. The meditation bench at the top of the estate allows you to connect with the genuineness of nature surrounding it. On clear nights, you can enjoy the spectacle of the starry sky, thanks to the deep darkness.
