20 bedrooms villa, 3247 m²

Gussago, Brescia (province)

This majestic old Dominican convent is for sale in the province of Brescia, not far from Lake Iseo. Offering striking views of the beautiful Franciacorta area, appreciated for its fine wines, this monastic complex is perfect for those looking for a house with an important historical heritage. Entirely delimited by a wall fence, this property's vast grounds measure 42.34 hectares and mostly feature a forest, while including a charming 4,300-sqm garden in a fascinating Italian design. This property consists of the former monastery, a private consecrated church and four residential buildings: the main villa, an outbuilding, the caretaker's home, and a chalet detached from the complex. Extraordinarily bright, thanks to big arched windows overlooking the leafy park, the main estate features perfectly preserved antique details, including very high ceilings with wooden beams and elegant terracotta floors. The church, with a striking façade, houses valuable works of art, including cross vaults, stone corbels and windows with lowered arches. The monastery, which is on the left side of the church, currently needs some renovation works to return to its original splendor.
