An ancient 12th-century fortress, built to defend the Rivalta Castle, now stands as an independent palace within the medieval fortress complex of Niviano Castle. The interior spans approximately 600 square meters, meticulously restored while preserving its original features and using period materials. The development spans multiple levels, with an internal elevator.
On the ground floor, the living area features a large kitchen with a separate entrance and an 1800s fireplace, a spacious and bright living room with a 1500s fireplace, a captivating circular dining room within the ancient watchtower with stone walls, and a guest bathroom.
The first floor houses the sleeping quarters, including a master suite furnished with an impressive antique fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a large modern bathroom. There are two additional bedrooms and a bathroom on this floor.
On the second floor, within the watchtower, a distinctive and spacious circular room with full-length windows offers a marvelous view of the Piacenza valleys.
The basement contains utility rooms, two large cellars (one with a wood-fired oven), a laundry area, and a hallway leading to a 65-square-meter garage.
Surrounded by a 2500-square-meter garden, the building overlooks a 120-square-meter porch where the ancient well is located.
The strategic location provides easy access from major transportation routes and convenient connections to the Piacenza valleys. Additionally, the city of Piacenza is only 10 minutes away, and Milan is 50 minutes away, offering the opportunity to enjoy both city life and countryside charm.
In addition to the main palace, there is an option to purchase an independent annex on two levels, also renovated with its own private outdoor area.
