18th-Century Country Estate and Swimming Pool

Nestled in the peaceful Lombardy countryside, surrounded by trees, waterways, and unspoiled rural landscapes, this charming 18th-century country estate offers a rare opportunity for those seeking a lifestyle immersed in nature, without sacrificing convenient access to Milan and some of Northern Italy’s most appealing destinations.
Located in the open countryside surrounding Soresina, in the province of Cremona, the property enjoys a secluded and private setting, reached via a picturesque country lane winding through the greenery, far removed from traffic and the pace of city life. A place to rediscover space, tranquility, and privacy, surrounded by the authentic beauty of the Italian countryside.
The farmhouse has undergone a meticulous and thoughtful restoration, carefully preserving its original character while enhancing its historic 18th-century architectural features. The original brickwork dating back to 1761, painstakingly hand-brushed, exposed wooden beams, traditional wooden shutters, and antique terracotta floors tell the story of the building, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere throughout.
The charm of its historic architecture is complemented by modern comforts, including underfloor heating, air conditioning, thermal insulation, triple-pane security windows, a solar panel system, and video surveillance.
Two working fireplaces and a wood-burning stove add further warmth and character, making the interiors particularly inviting during the winter months.
The residence is spread across several levels, offering exceptionally spacious and versatile living spaces, perfectly suited to family living, entertaining guests, working remotely, or pursuing personal interests.
On the ground floor, an entrance through the traditional covered porticoes leads into a bright and generously proportioned living room, which flows naturally into the kitchen, enhanced by a beautiful fireplace. The spacious and welcoming interiors are designed to be enjoyed to the fullest, whether for relaxed everyday living or memorable gatherings with family and friends. This level also includes a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a separate laundry room.
The first floor is home to the impressive principal suite, featuring a walk-in wardrobe, a generously sized en-suite bathroom with a double whirlpool bathtub and an open-air shower, and direct access to a charming covered loggia overlooking the property's gardens.
In the opposite wing of the same floor, additional rooms are currently arranged as a home theater and a home office, offering flexible spaces that can easily be adapted to different lifestyle requirements.
On the upper level, within the property's distinctive tower, an additional bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom is currently used as a study. This intimate and secluded space would also make an ideal home office.
The thoughtful layout allows privacy, family life, entertaining, and work to coexist effortlessly, meeting the demands of contemporary living.
Outside, the property is surrounded by approximately 4,000 sqm of fully enclosed private gardens, featuring expansive lawns and a delightful variety of fruit trees, including figs, cherries, apples, pears, plums, almonds, hazelnuts, and pomegranates.
The centrepiece of the outdoor space is the magnificent 17-by-5-metre swimming pool, beautifully integrated into its natural surroundings and featuring a shallow sun shelf, perfect for relaxing during the warm summer months.
The gardens offer endless opportunities for outdoor living, from al fresco dining and leisurely afternoons to sports and recreation, or simply enjoying the peace, privacy, and natural beauty of the surroundings.
An additional attractive feature is the availability of additional building rights , offering the possibility of creating an outdoor kitchen beside the swimming pool, transforming the area into a dedicated space for entertaining and enjoying life outdoors (project already approved).
The estate also includes a separate outbuilding, already prepared for future utility hookups, offering potential for further development and enhancement.
Two parking spaces are available, together with an additional side gate providing direct access to the gardens.
One of the property's greatest advantages is the opportunity to enjoy the peace and privacy of country living while remaining within easy reach of major cities, cultural landmarks, and some of Northern Italy's most desirable destinations. Milan can be reached in approximately one hour, while Piacenza is around 30 minutes away. Cremona and Crema, with their historic centres, restaurants, traditional markets, and rich local heritage, offer delightful destinations for everyday life and leisure.
Lake Garda is approximately one hour away, while both Milan Linate and Bergamo Orio al Serio airports can be reached in around an hour by car.
The nearby Soresina train station provides an additional connection to the surrounding region.
The area is particularly appealing to cycling enthusiasts, walkers, and those who appreciate slow travel, thanks to a network of bike routes and scenic trails winding through the Lombardy countryside.
A short distance away lies Cremona, internationally renowned for its extraordinary violin-making tradition, closely associated with Antonio Stradivari, and for its exceptional musical and cultural heritage.
Approximately 45 minutes away are the enchanting Colli Piacentini, whose rolling foothills can already be admired from the property. This beautiful region is steeped in history and culinary traditions, with vineyards, medieval villages, and ancient castles recalling the heritage of the historic Duchy of Parma and Piacenza.
Here, visitors can explore renowned wineries, enjoy tastings of locally produced wines, and discover the region's outstanding gastronomic specialities, including its celebrated traditional cured meats. It is yet another opportunity to experience an authentic side of Italy, rich in landscapes, culture, and centuries-old traditions.
This property appeals to those seeking something more than a traditional country residence.
It is an ideal choice for families, as well as international buyers looking for a second home in Italy, those wishing to relocate permanently, or professionals who can work remotely and place a high value on quality of life, privacy, and a close connection with nature.
The generous interiors, extensive gardens, swimming pool, and strategic location also make the estate particularly appealing to those who enjoy welcoming family and friends, spending extended periods in Italy, and discovering a genuine and unspoilt region away from the more crowded tourist destinations.
A charming countryside retreat where history, nature, and contemporary comfort come together, all within easy reach of Milan.
