Historic estate near Pontremoli

A historic estate comprising three separate residential buildings – just a few minutes from Pontremoli

This exceptional country estate is situated in the rolling hills above the Gordana Valley, just five minutes from Pontremoli. The complex comprises three separate buildings: the historic manor house, the Casa Colonica and the former village school, now a stylish loft flat.

Surrounded by gardens, orchards, terraces and vast fields, the estate offers a stunning view across the Gordana floodplains and the old stone arch bridge.

The estate comprises an impressive array of outdoor spaces and historic buildings:

• well-tended gardens and terraces
• Saltwater pool (approx. 11 × 5 m)
• a triangular garden with cypress trees and a statue of an angel
• A kiwi pergola as a summer dining area
• covered loggia
• Mixed-fruit orchard
• extensive pasture land (currently used as horse pasture)
• several historic stone stables with great potential for development
• ample parking spaces

The location is quiet and private, but not isolated: there are other houses, a small church and riding stables nearby.
