5 bedrooms tower, 310 m²

Novedrate, Como (province)

Neo-Gothic tower and park with riding stables
In the municipality of Novedrate, we are offering for sale a period property called ‘Torretta Airoldi’, consisting of a neo-Gothic villa, originally built as the gatehouse for the entire ‘Castello di Carimate’ complex, and a 5-hectare park with riding stables. The villa has two large floors, a basement and two additional ‘tower’ floors, covering a total area of approximately 310 square metres. The property requires internal renovation of the water and heating systems. In the immediate vicinity of the Torretta, but still within the vast park, there are two prefabricated wooden houses and another building with additional facilities. The majestic park has vegetation of considerable value, including, among others, a wild Nyssa tree native to North America, the only specimen of this size in Europe, with only one smaller specimen present in London. The complex boasts a now forgotten historical charm of court life, which, thanks to its appeal, can also be used for cultural visits as the complex is protected by the fine arts and forestry authorities, underlining the uniqueness of this glimpse of vibrant vegetation. In the vast park of about 35,000 square metres, there is also a covered riding arena with 10 horse boxes and stables, with a covered area of 840 square metres, with an iron supporting structure. Other horse boxes are located in the western part of the property with other paddocks, two sand work fields ending with a stream that marks the boundary of the property downstream.
