This is a place where the air exudes calm and gentleness, where the mind is set free, beneath a still, slumbering blue sky, in that southern light which envelops the hills’ sparkling hues and blurred contours in a shimmering halo and a spring-like freshness.
Amidst this atmosphere of poetry and emotion, a former silkworm farm stretches out, rustling beneath the legacy of the mulberry trees, all the way to the vegetable garden and its trio of wells.
It has been restored to its former glory, right down to its structural elements, and everything blends authenticity with modernity.
The property has been enhanced with character-filled features from bygone eras, sourced from all over the country: wrought-iron banisters, cast-iron radiators inspired by the Victorian Baroque period, opulent yet understated, and cement tiles featuring geometric patterns…
With approximately 230 m² of living space, the farmhouse offers a beautiful, spacious living area with a cathedral ceiling, featuring Renaissance-inspired mullioned windows, facing the rising sun and offering a panoramic view that sweeps across lovely, partially shaded terraces.
A spacious kitchen with a dining area and an adjoining small lounge, along with two bedrooms that complete this level—one of which features a walk-in wardrobe and a mezzanine—is followed by a separate toilet and a large bathroom with twin washbasins.
On the lower level, nestled around the courtyard, is a covered terrace offering cool respite in summer, along with two separate bedrooms, each with a bathroom—one of which has a toilet—as well as an additional separate shared toilet.
Next is a studio (or an additional bedroom), a space for cultural exchange, learning and sharing, where the artist can retreat and lose themselves in their creative work; this space could be converted into a guesthouse once connected to the bedrooms.
Finally, two cellars, a boiler room and a workshop complete the property.
The farmhouse stands on 8,000m² of land, in complete tranquillity, with no immediate neighbours but without being isolated in the middle of nowhere. It is situated almost at the end of a cul-de-sac, offering absolute peace and quiet and beautiful panoramic views. Subject to planning permission, it would be possible to build a swimming pool.
Heating is provided by a wood-burning stove, as well as two boilers: one wood-fired, the other oil-fired.
Well then, it is time to leave this magical place where one can sense the watery textures of watercolours and the scents of oil paints mingling with a myriad of memories gathered from the nooks and crannies of more than one second-hand shop or flea market stall, all ready to tell extraordinary stories.
