This stone farmhouse is easily reached as you enter the hills around Volpara, a town in the Oltrepò Pavese area renowned for its Moscato; the roads are typical of the area, narrow with hairpin bends and not very well maintained, but with splendid views. It’s the kind of place that sparks curiosity about our destination, and a sense of wonder that nature can hide such beautiful places. It’s not a place for everyone to settle - these kinds of homes are full of their own character, and either you love them, or you don’t. When it’s real love, though, it’s an explosion of joy: finally, you think, I’ve found what I was looking for. The property is not independent. The garden, while present, is detached from the house (though just a short way outside). There is a parking space, and a secluded area, rather like a little secret garden to hide away in.
As soon as you enter, you feel you have crossed the threshold of an important residence. Everything is extremely solid: exposed beams, solid wood furniture, heating fireplaces built by the owner using a novel mechanical engineering system. The spacious living room and kitchen, the high ceilings and the windows are all very impressive. Also on the ground floor is a large bathroom, a pantry with a wood-burning oven from which you can access the stone cellar, with its vaulted ceilings and spring well. Pause and take a moment to enjoy your surroundings. On the first floor is a master bedroom of about 35 square metres with fireplace in pink marble, master bedroom of about 30 square metres with large terrace, bedroom of 20 square metres and bathroom with window and bathtub. All the rooms are particularly spacious.
The top floor is occupied by an 80-square-metre attic that celebrates a passion for wood. The property includes a paved area with barbecue, garage with woodshed, and a second spring well located on the side of the garden for exclusive use.
