Christie's International Real Estate - Milan Exclusive is pleased to offer for sale a portion of the \"Cascina Boscaiola\": a rare and historic 930-sqm property dating back to the first half of the 1400s, once the agricultural and hunting estate of the Visconti family and later of the Sforza family.
It is a building complex with a closed courtyard, consisting of a front with short turnarounds of ancient origin and of a noble type, and back wings of a purely agricultural character. The noble parts are characterized by structural and decorative elements typical of the Renaissance architectural tradition. The architectural setting is characterized by arched windows decorated in terracotta with white plastered framing, brick chimney projections, important wood-carved coffered ceilings, and traces of frescoes inside. Studies of the ancient decorations that adorn its facade have highlighted suggestive themes of Milanese civilization of that era. The property is declared a national monument and is under Cultural Heritage restrictions and currently includes only private residences.
The real estate portion currently for sale contains and preserves, more than other parts of the complex, all the characterizing elements described above. The 1967 restoration by architect Vittore Lattuada unearthed fragments of frescoes, architectural and decorative elements that can be traced back to the historic period of construction, and inside, the intervention was radical on the slabs, roof and structures.
This valuable property has two independent entrances: one from the street and one from the inner courtyard. Towards the street, it is surrounded by a garden; in the courtyard, it is possible to park 3 cars and scooters. The building consists of 7 units with a total of 826.25 commercial sq m and is on several levels served by elevator:
