Main Features
Description
Farmhouse located in a restored former barn, ready to be opened, with a main house, outbuildings, caretaker's cottage, panoramic spa, 12,000 m² of parkland, and up to 25 hectares of agricultural land, just 10 km from the center of the splendid city of Este.
In the heart of the Ferrara countryside, just minutes from the center of Ferrara and the Ferrara Sud motorway exit, we offer for sale a prestigious agricultural estate with a recently completed agriturismo, created from a former rural barn that has been completely restored and ready for operation.
The restoration project successfully combined the charm of traditional peasant architecture with modern construction and plant technologies, creating a highly prestigious, functional, and versatile property, ideal for hospitality, wellness, events, or as a prestigious residence.
The farmyard includes the farmhouse, including the caretaker's residence and his family, the independent main house with annex, and the swimming pool (in need of renovation), all set within a private park of approximately 12,000 m², well-maintained and planted with ornamental plants and a variety of other plants. Agricultural land surrounding the farmyard is available for purchase along with the buildings, depending on your needs.
The area is one of extraordinary natural beauty and is served by drinking water and a natural gas network.

Considerations on agritourism:
Structure designed for hospitality, functionality and ease of management
This agriturismo represents a rare and highly valuable opportunity in the Emilia-Romagna hospitality landscape. The entire facility was designed with a modern and thoughtful approach, aimed at minimizing bureaucratic formalities, optimizing management efficiency, and simultaneously ensuring a pleasant, independent, and high-quality stay. Every architectural, system, and regulatory choice has been carefully considered, making the agriturismo a safe, functional investment, fully compliant with Regional Law Emilia-Romagna 4/2009.
The bright and well-organized rooms are equipped with kitchenettes, a solution that allows guests complete independence and avoids the need for a catering service, maintaining streamlined and flexible management. The spacious ground-floor rooms, officially registered as multipurpose spaces, offer great versatility: they can host recreational activities, corporate training sessions, meetings, tastings, guided tours, or simply moments of relaxation.
The agriturismo can also organize up to twenty themed events per year, using its on-site kitchens in collaboration with external catering services. This option expands the offering without incurring the typical costs of a restaurant, while maintaining all the benefits provided by law for bed and breakfast.
Compliance with agritourism regulations, i.e., the full connection between agricultural activity and hospitality, as required by Article 2135 of the Civil Code, can be easily ensured with a simple cultivation plan. In fact, to meet the 320 agritourism days required by law—calculated based on the 25 authorized beds and recreational activities—just a few hectares with a dedicated cultivation plan are sufficient, and the absence of a restaurant business does not require farm produce.
One of the most notable features of the facility is the attention to system design. The kitchen layout has been sized to keep the overall power under 35 kW: this allows it to be classified as a small residential kitchen, subject to simple safety regulations, without the requirement of a Fire Prevention Certificate.
The same principle was applied to the heating plant: the condensing boiler, dedicated exclusively to domestic hot water production and supported by solar panels, has a power output of less than 35 kW. This value is crucial because it exempts the structure from INAIL (formerly ISPESL) inspections, making the system comparable to that of a standard home. This solution reduces costs, compliance, and the need for complex periodic checks.
Finally, the agritourism facility has been kept within the 25-bed limit, a threshold that represents an additional management advantage. Exceeding this number would have required a Fire Prevention Certificate for accommodation facilities, while staying below this limit makes management easier and requires fewer formalities.
Overall, this property combines comfort, elegance, and careful regulatory and technical planning. It's an agritourism facility designed to offer guests an authentic and relaxing experience, while also ensuring its owners run a solid, organized business without the complexity typical of traditional accommodations. It's an ideal solution for those seeking a secure investment and a modern, efficient management model that's fully compliant with current regulations.
