In the heart of Lanzo Torinese, next to the Town Hall, a historic building of extraordinary charm is offered for sale. It comprises a total surface area of 1,133 m2 spread over four levels, with 18 rooms, 5 bathrooms, and a private garden/park of approximately 1,300 m2.
Thanks to its many potential uses, the property is suitable for a variety of uses: a prestigious representative villa – potentially divisible into two units – a charming accommodation facility, or a luxury retirement home.
Upon request, at no additional cost, the four bedrooms on the first floor can be equipped with en suite bathrooms.
There is also a proposal available with a complete renovation of the second attic floor for residential or hospitality use, with the possibility of creating up to 15 bedrooms with private bathrooms, for a total value of the renovated property of €2,050,000.00.
The building, rich in history and charm, preserves medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque atmospheres, testimony to the eras in which it was used, expanded, and enhanced over the centuries.
The renovations have always respected and preserved the original materials: frescoed ceilings, period floors, historic doors and windows, an ancient Roman well located in the current kitchen, and even a centuries-old vine. This grapevine, one of the very few to survive the epidemics that devastated European viticulture in the 19th century, still produces a high-quality red wine, with aromas reminiscent of Merlot. Numerous other fine details can be appreciated in the photographs.
For centuries, Lanzo Torinese was a strategic crossroads for trade with France, as evidenced by the famous Devil's Bridge, the Church of San Pietro, and the Civic Tower. Even Saint John Bosco, fascinated by these places, left a profound mark on the town: in his 1876 vision, he described Lanzo as "The Magnificent Garden," a phrase that perfectly captures the spirit and soul of this residence.
History and spirituality blend harmoniously with contemporary comfort: Lanzo is connected to Turin in about 40 minutes by train (about 20 minutes by car) and can be reached from Turin Airport in about 40 minutes by shuttle or 20 minutes by car.
