SOUTH PARMA, CARIGNANO, just 10 minutes drive from the city, wrapped in the green countryside, we offer for sale magnificent farmhouse to be restored surrounded by 9000 square meters. of land. The farmhouse, dating from the 19th century, was part of the magnificent estate of Villa Malenchini.
“The coat of arms of the Marquis Malenchini winks among the ivy to recall the past glory of the rustic closest to the manor house, the most beautiful among the neighboring properties, the one built with noble materials such as oak wood for the beams to the ceilings, handmade stones in the walls and Maria Luigia´s tall bricks in the barn.
Once included within the monumental park of the villa, the rustic now admires it in its earned independence strong of an incomparable panorama.
Positioned in the greenery of one of the most desirable areas of the territory, a stone´s throw from the city, it stands out in its privacy embraced by two thousand square meters of land and another ten thousand that extend into the green fields overlooking the hills.
The dead door separates the barn from the entrance to the house, which gathers on a large surface area articulated on three levels.
The ground floor is reserved for the large kitchen with fireplace and the charming wine cellar with the barrels that testify to its vocation. The generous volumes hark back to the times when work and daily life coincided, trespassing between indoors and outdoors and involving the whole family in the activities.
The terracotta tiles on the floors run through all the rooms and line the steps of the staircase leading to the second floor marked by five rooms and a bathroom. The window overlooks frame pictures of beauty and give the eye a chance to open onto the wide panorama that infuses a serene tranquility.
The top level unveils an evocative dimension that gains the height of the roof supported by beams and trusses made with the mastery of those who drew architecture with strength in one hand and poetry in the other. Imagination plays to a future declension and penetrates this space protected by the roof tiles and caressed by the sky.
The importance of the rustic is also attested to by the scenic barn, the vaults are supported by brick columns with distinctive round work culminating in capitals. A geometric harmony draws the regular aesthetic that is shown in the particular arrangement of the columns that measure the space and in the skillful weaving of the brickwork of the vaults attesting once again to the artistry of a historic building.
The barn towers above the barn rising to its full height crossed by the wind, and the roof that covers it extends its way to create a wide porch supported by solid brick pillars. The exterior wall reveals its remarkable “opera listata,“ a Roman building technique that alternates courses of stone with irregular tendencies with rows of bricks that recover horizontal regularity.
An exterior building, made with the attention given to the interior, brings back a large-scale shed, the wood stove and rooms intended for animals.
This dwelling has the flavor of a promise of happiness. It lends itself to planning and imagination that can bring it back to the rhythms of a vital scan.
Buying a property involves a handover that creates a bridge between the two identities of the giver and the receiver. It is important to understand that of the seller in order to understand the nature of the house.
The owner of the rustic house seems to hold a secret of life in his hands: he grows ancient grains, makes wine and infuses soul around him.
He has guarded his dwelling for thirty years, he has been responsible for keeping its breath alive, preserving it from adversity and guaranteeing its dignity and truth by always holding it by the hand on the way. Even homes are protected by their guardian angels.
