The Olive Grove Hill

A property of rare substance on the outskirts of Verona, set within an estate of about 10 hectares with 550 olive trees, a terraced garden and a five-a-side football pitch. The complex consists of two separate buildings: a private villa and a rural hamlet, which can be sold together or separately, opening up complementary uses or phased development scenarios. The 476 sq m Villa, built between 1972 and 1973, is arranged over three levels with a decidedly representative footprint. On the ground floor, the entrance leads to generous living areas with high-end finishes: white Trani marble floors, coffered ceilings in crafted wood, wood panelling and damask wallpaper that give the rooms a sumptuous and distinctive character. The internal staircase, with gilded wrought-iron railing and marble cladding, connects the floors elegantly. On the first floor there are five bedrooms and four bathrooms. The basement level houses technical rooms, cellars and a pantry. Outside: swimming pool, large terraces, porticoes and a landscaped park planted with olive trees. Building services: oil-fired heating with radiators and fan coils in the basement, air conditioning, three fireplaces, alarm system and video intercom. The rural hamlet is a three-storey building with a historic appearance, white render and wooden shutters, currently in need of renovation. It is arranged over ground, first and second floors with attics, as well as a smaller detached outbuilding. The redevelopment potential is high: the existing volume is substantial and any additional building possibilities are to be verified. The grotto is a truly unusual feature: an underground space carved into the rock, with natural vaults, installed lighting and stone columns, potentially suitable as a wine cellar, spa or reception/entertaining area. The property enjoys a panoramic view over the Veronese plain and Lake Garda, visible from the terraces thanks to its elevated position on the hills of Parona. The cypresses and terracotta pots contribute to a typically Italian aesthetic of great impact.
