Historic villa with church and agricultural estate in the heart of Parma
Nestled in the countryside of Parma, in the municipality of Torrile, this historic villa-spread over three floors plus an annex-offers a total surface area of approximately 830 sqmt (8.934 sqft).
It features spacious halls, two kitchens, eight bedrooms, and a charming panoramic turret overlooking the rural landscape. The estate also includes a private church and a series of outbuildings (around 3.000 sqm - 32.291 sqft), such as ancient stables, barns, and arcades that reflect the noble agricultural heritage of the area. An additional residential building houses seven apartment units totaling 600 sqm (6.458 sqft), ideal for guests, staff, or hospitality ventures.
The villa is situated in a historically significant area: starting in the mid-16th century, following the establishment of the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza, the Farnese family initiated major territorial transformations here, building ducal farms and creating, in the 17th century, the renowned Ducal Wood of Torrile-a favored hunting reserve established on the site of a vast state-owned oak forest. At the heart of the property lies a private park of about 10.000 sqmt (107.639 sqft)-an oasis of tranquility with centuries-old trees, a small lake, and picturesque views, accessible via a tree-lined driveway. Adjacent to the estate are 6 hectares of agricultural land, completing this exceptional property, which is ideal for those seeking a blend of history, nature, and entrepreneurial potential.
The location is strategic: just 15 minutes from Parma, a city of international artistic and cultural significance, and well connected to the highway network (A1 - Milan-Bologna), allowing you to reach Milan in approximately an hour and a half. This ease of access makes the property perfect not only as a private residence, but also for hospitality projects, exclusive events, or high-end corporate retreats. A historic residence with genuine charm, steeped in the great noble tradition of Emilia.
