This distinctive country house is situated just outside Pontremoli and once served as the summer residence of the Diocese of Pontremoli. It dates from 1826, although the cellars and underground rooms date back to 1580.

The property is a former mill, situated on elevated ground overlooking the fields and the River Gordana, and comprises several outbuildings, including the old village school. This can be filled with water or left empty as desired; the stream of water cascading to the floor like a waterfall creates a very special atmosphere.
The main house features 5 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a guest bathroom, as well as numerous reception rooms, some of which are adorned with frescoes on the ceilings of historical value. The house has been renovated over the years, with every effort made to preserve as much of its original character as possible; if you are seeking luxury, this is not the place for you. What you will find here are bygone times, history and romance: Original terracotta floors, wooden beams and frescoes. The magnificent stone cellar is crying out for renovation and a better (more meaningful) use. Almost hidden away within the house is a small chapel.
The adjoining farmhouse offers 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a spacious kitchen and a living room with double-height ceilings.
The main house and the farmhouse share a large terrace overlooking the valley and the old bridge spanning the River Gordana. There are numerous charming outdoor areas, ideal for relaxing, barbecuing, summer dining and so on.
The old school has been converted into a self-contained flat with a kitchen, bathroom and a beautiful living room with high ceilings.
The property also includes several beautiful stone barns, which have not yet been converted but offer interesting development potential, as well as a small cottage for drying chestnuts. This property is ideal as a family home or could easily be used as an agriturismo, for commercial activities, workshops, courses and much more.
The property also features a swimming pool, a triangular garden with cypress trees, an apple orchard for cider production, a covered loggia, an outdoor dining area with a kiwi pergola, lovely lawns and a spacious car park.
The various parts of the building cover a total of approximately 1,000 m², whilst the plot covers an area of approximately 21,100 m². Heating is provided by a wood-fired boiler. The current owner currently allows the neighbours’ horses to graze on the lower meadow.
The property is situated very close to the ‘Gole degli Stretti di Giaredo’ nature reserve, which is renowned for its gorges and magnificent waterfalls.
