A spectacular gated entrance (typical of noble rural estates) opens onto an impressive courtyard, immediately setting the tone for this historic estate. The courtyard leads to the principal residence, whose elegant façade and twin towers evoke the grandeur of a château, while the rear elevation enjoys the refined character of a manor house overlooking beautiful parkland. The main residence offers spacious and characterful accommodation. On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall leads to a salon with open fireplace, a dining room with parquet flooring, two further salons and a kitchen featuring marble worktops. Also on this level are two bedrooms, a WC, and an additional room with the potential to be converted into a bathroom. A magnificent stone staircase, one of the property's standout features, leads to the first floor, where four generous bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate WC provide ample family or guest accommodation.
