Full Description
The property is located in the heart of the lower Po Valley, halfway between Mantua and Cremona.
Solarolo Rainerio is a town in the province of latter and has been able to maintain its tradition without being overcome by the urban expansion of the neighboring cities.
The area is surrounded by fields, but has over time seen a huge development fueled by little villages and towns with a strong industry and crafting vocation while always mantaining a well defined territorial identity.
A good example of this phenomena is the nearby town of San Giovanni in Croce, which has seen significant production facilities of a now famous garden machinery company grow, while maintaining a human-scale urban planning. This happens because culturally the main focus is on the relationship between the people and the land itself.
The mansion can be reached in half an hour from Parma through the SP343R or in forty minutes both from Cremona through the SP85 and from Mantua through the SP420, while Bergamo's Orio al Serio international airport is less than a hundred km away.
The estate is simultaneously secluded and well connected to the main productive poles of the area, thus offering the perfect balance between closeness to the facilities and private life.
The property is distinguished by the excellent combination of modern design and references to the past, where the boldness of some architectural choices manages to marry perfectly with the references to the farms that were in the past the prevailing residential type of house of the area (see the façade of the living area with large windows full height surrounded by pillars, which recall the rationalistic lines of agricultural buildings from the past), all reinterpreted in a modern way. The careful choice of the swimming pool-side walking materials, pedestrian paths, the wise chromatic layout in contrast with the albegiating white of the ancillary structures, create together with the careful aesthetic study obtained with the insertion of LED lights in the essential points of the structure and swimming pool, a therapeutic effect for the eye and the mind.
The property consists of two separate buildings connected by a glass structure for a total of over 350sqm indoors, while the surrounding private land consists of 2800 sqm. A sliding gate next to a tinier one for pedestrians leads into the concrete wrought area, adjacent to the primary entrance and the swimming pool. From here a space under a portico of about 35sqm can be reached, that lends itself to a double covered parking space on the north-west side of the building, in which there is also a building body which houses a triple garage of over 56sqm.
Also on the west side, through a pedestrian driveway with spotlights, it is possible to reach the primary entrance, crossing an artistic garden with metal sculptures under a metal beam porch, ideal modern reinterpretation of the porches of the old farmhouses.
The primary entrance consists of a completely glassed entrance hall, fully height, from which we can access the separate structure that houses the living area, or the thermal-service central shed area, or even the outbuilding area consisting of a large double bedroom with exclusive bathroom from which it is easy to reach the garden and the swimming pool adjacent to the laundry.
In the atrium, the stairwell leading to the upper floor, a real supporting sculpture that does not hide the artistic inspiration of the designer who wanted it not only as a functional object but also as a decorative reason, houses a sitting room and leads to the living area of the villa through a glass passage and a full height sliding door that resumes the stylistic reasons already present in other areas of the house and due to the intervention of an artist who has lent himself to interior decoration.
The living area is a square open on the south front, and houses the living room of over 56sqm and the kitchen of over 28sqm that overlook the pool (surface of 50sqm, l
