Description

In the heart of Castelvetro di Modena, we offer for sale Villa Levizzano, a magnificent 18th-century manor house requiring complete renovation. This presents a unique opportunity to restore a residence of great historical value, preserving its characteristic architectural details while adding modern comforts. The property comprises three buildings: - Main Villa (approx. 1,290 sq m on 3 levels): An imposing building distinguished by its external arches and Baroque elements, ready to be restored to their former glory. The spacious and bright areas will allow for the creation of a luxurious residence, combining historical elegance with contemporary comfort. Of note are the two stucco fireplaces painted with a marbled effect, dating back to the mid-18th century, certainly attributable to the best of Modenese Baroque. - Caretaker's House (approx. 173 sq m on 2 levels): A central building, enhanced by a turret or gazebo offering panoramic views of the surrounding park. Perfect for conversion into an independent residence or integration into the overall renovation project. - Third Section (built in the early 1900s): A two-level section plus an attic, connected to the caretaker's house via a large habitable terrace, ready to be customized to the new owner's needs. The complex is nestled in a 6,500 sq m park featuring centuries-old tall trees, creating a unique and evocative atmosphere. The park, a green oasis, is the perfect place to enjoy tranquility and privacy, with an additional 4 hectares of private land encompassing parkland and woodland, adding further value to the property. A significant historical element is the Private Chapel (1700-1800), a sober construction built between the 1700s and 1800s, with a facade characterized by a multi-lobed window and a side window corresponding to the central nave and the only left side nave. Inside, stone documents are preserved, including one commemorating Professor Luigi Vandelli, an important owner of the complex in the first half of the 19th century. The chapel adds a spiritual and historical dimension that further enriches the estate. The villa was built on a hill near the Rio Bagolo, an area rich in important archaeological finds, including remains of Roman kilns and villas, further enhancing the historical significance of the property. Although the property requires complete renovation, the agency has a work estimate prepared by an architectural firm and renderings of the interior spaces, offering a clear idea of how the residence can be transformed, perfectly blending the charm of history with modern solutions. Villa Levizzano represents a rare opportunity for those wishing to undertake the restoration of a historic residence in an extraordinary natural setting.
