The 16.9-acre property provides immense versatility for equestrian use, boutique vineyards, or a private retreat, further enhanced by its rich agricultural heritage and mature specimen trees.
Designed for a resort-style lifestyle, the estate includes a charming courtyard fountain, a built-in barbecue, and an authentic wood-fired pizza oven set within a tranquil, private landscape.
With only two bedrooms located in the main residence and the third being detached, the floor plan may be less appealing to families who prefer all primary sleeping quarters under one roof.
