Description

Immersed in the greenery and tranquility of the woods of Castiglione Olona, we offer for exclusive sale this villa with a large private garden, wooded land, and an area equipped for horses, ideal for those who wish to live in nature without giving up proximity to main services. The property extends over approximately 17,000 square meters, divided between garden, woods, and flat meadow, perfect for grazing and horse activities. Access is provided by two pedestrian entrances and two driveways, one of which leads directly to the area with four horse boxes with a dedicated enclosure, while the other opens to the front of the villa, equipped with an electric gate. The villa is spread over three levels, combining the rustic style of the original farmhouse with the practicality of generous spaces projected outward. On the ground floor, the living area is characterized by a large and bright living room, enhanced by large windows overlooking the perfectly flat garden of about 3,000 square meters. The eat-in kitchen, designed by Scavolini, is well connected with double access to the main rooms. Completing the floor are a bathroom with a shower, a master bedroom, a sitting room with an ancient fireplace, and a scenic wooden staircase leading to the mezzanine open to the sleeping area. On the first floor, entirely finished with parquet floors and exposed wooden beams, there are two generous multipurpose rooms suitable for various needs, separated by a second bathroom with a whirlpool tub, and overlooking the surrounding greenery. The basement offers great versatility, with a hobby room directly accessible from the driveway entrance, storage rooms, laundry, and a double-length garage with an automatic sliding door. The villa, originally a historic farmhouse, retains original architectural elements, such as inserts in the external brick walls, and was completely renovated between the late 1980s and early 1990s. The property, immersed in greenery, features elements of great charm, such as a picturesque private wood crossed by a small stream that leads to a large flat meadow of 3,600 square meters, ideal for the activity and well-being of horses. The villa is equipped with a quadruple and solid horse box, not far from the property, which allows for the care, breeding, and management of these magnificent animals in the best way. A villa with warm colors, welcoming that perfectly blends with the surrounding natural context and gives it a unique and unrepeatable charm.

Location: Gornate Superiore, Lombardy

Castiglione Olona is a charming Lombard village located in the province of Varese, surrounded by greenery and embraced by the gentle hilly landscape that accompanies the course of the Olona River. Its tranquil yet strategic position makes it a particularly interesting choice for those who wish to live in a serene environment without giving up proximity to the main surrounding cities. From here, in fact, Varese can be reached in about fifteen minutes, Como in less than half an hour, and Milan in just over forty minutes, thanks to the proximity to the A8 motorway and the good network of connections. The international airport of Milan Malpensa is also conveniently reachable in about half an hour by car, making this small town even more accessible. But Castiglione Olona is not only a well-connected location; it is a place of timeless charm, where art, history, and nature blend harmoniously. The village is often referred to as "the Tuscan island in Lombardy," a nickname that speaks volumes about its soul. This singular definition is due to the refined and Renaissance imprint that Cardinal Branda Castiglioni, a key figure of the Italian 15th century, wanted to give to his birthplace. Walking through the historic center of Castiglione Olona is like taking a journey through time: cobbled alleys, stone buildings, porticos, courtyards, and ancient walls tell a centuries-old story, woven with beauty and culture. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy, authentically Italian, and every corner seems to tell a different page of its history. To all this is added a lively cultural life, with exhibitions, concerts, and festivals taking place throughout the year, keeping the link between past and present alive. Cardinal Branda's idea was to merge architecture, art, and landscape into a harmonious and organic whole, deeply influenced by Florentine humanistic culture. The result is a unique place of its kind, which still today preserves that original vision intact. In addition to its history and artistic heritage, Castiglione Olona also offers an extraordinary quality of life. Its surroundings are rich in woods, trails, and green spaces, perfect for those who love nature, outdoor walks, and activities such as horse riding. The tranquility of the landscape, combined with the beauty of the surrounding hills, makes this village a true oasis of well-being.
