In the heart of Franciacorta, in Provaglio d’Iseo, an imposing presence still tells the story of a place that has stood the test of time: the Torre Colombaia of Palazzo Oldofredi-Ferlinghetti, an authentic architectural gem dating back to the 15th century and now fully restored. Set within a prestigious historic context, the tower preserves the character of Franciacorta’s historic rural residences, where simplicity of form met the elegance of the noble families who once inhabited these places. An architecture that speaks of the past while embracing the possibility of becoming something new. The property is arranged over several levels, following the tower’s natural vertical development and creating a distinctive and characterful layout. On the ground floor, the entrance leads to a generous living and dining area, complemented by the kitchen and directly connected to the portico, a natural extension of the interiors towards the outdoors. A bathroom completes the floor. The first floor houses the more private part of the residence, with a bedroom, a room currently used as an additional kitchen, and a bathroom. Above, a charming mezzanine overlooks the floor below, creating a particularly captivating architectural perspective while further enhancing the tower’s original structure. Completing the layout, the attic level features an additional room with a bathroom: a versatile space that can be adapted to suit the needs and lifestyle of its future owners. The property overlooks a spacious private courtyard, allowing the outdoor areas to be enjoyed as a natural continuation of the residence’s intimate and secluded atmosphere. The ground floor also features a generous room that offers the possibility of being used as a private garage.
A rare opportunity for those seeking something that goes beyond the traditional concept of a property.
