luxury real estate for sale Modena, Italy

Just a few minutes from Modena, between Formigine and Maranello, we are offering for sale a charming property nestled in the tranquility of the Emilian countryside. It boasts an elevated location and unobstructed views of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, which, on clear days, stretch all the way to Pietra di Bismantova. The estate is centered around a historic late-19th-century courtyard, harmoniously arranged in a horseshoe shape, forming an authentic and well-balanced architectural ensemble. The complex comprises four main buildings, each with its own identity and potential. The main house retains the original character of the Emilian tradition, with rooms distributed across multiple levels and spacious areas that lend themselves to a contemporary reinterpretation. Next to it, the historic barn bears witness to the property’s rural soul. Of particular interest is the “basso comodo,” Now fully renovated, the property covers approximately 300 square metres and is divided into two independent units: an elegant and light-filled main residence, featuring a living room, a kitchen-diner, a sleeping area with two bedrooms and a bathroom, an open-plan mezzanine (bedroom, walk-in wardrobe, bathroom), and a guest apartment with a separate entrance, comprising living room, kitchen, two rooms and two bathrooms. The refined finishes and contemporary architectural features blend harmoniously with the historic setting, offering comfort and versatility. On the opposite side of the courtyard, a spacious barn with a period portico and generous dimensions represents a further asset, ideal for conversion into residential or guest accommodation. The complex is completed by an additional building adjacent to the main house, situated in the centre of the courtyard, particularly suited to a loft-style conversion with direct views over the vineyard. These three buildings require comprehensive restoration and refurbishment. The property covers approximately 10 hectares of land, 8 of which are planted with Lambrusco and Trebbiano di Spagna vines, offering significant potential for both production and development. Added to this is a precious historical family "batteria", , including original barrels dating back to the early 20th century, which are a true testament to the tradition of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. Set in one of the most dynamic and internationally renowned areas, the property is located in the heart of Motor Valley and Food Valley, a short distance from iconic landmarks and outstanding gastronomic experiences such as Osteria Francescana. Thanks to the combination of architectural heritage, agricultural land and a strong local identity, it represents a unique investment opportunity. It lends itself to being reimagined as a prestigious private residence, a charming relais, or a hospitality and wine tourism project, fully capitalising on its connection to the local area and its finest offerings. A rare estate, where history, landscape and entrepreneurial vision coexist in perfect harmony.
