This magnificent 17th Century nobleman’s hunting lodge, fully restored to its former splendour, is nestled in the heart of Lija. Sprawling over 2300 m², the property is fully detached and set back from the street, providing a high degree of privacy and security. Entry to the grounds is through a private lane, leading to a magnificent arched forged metal gate, and a passage bordered by a citrus grove with encircling paths.
The 750 m² villa features a welcoming entrance hall, a 140 m² formal lounge with views of the garden, an informal lounge, an 8-meter long dining room connected to the 65 m² custom designed kitchen, both with large apertures leading to a large shaded terrace. The accommodation includes 5 bedrooms with seven bathrooms and two studies. A separate guest house with two more bedrooms and private courtyard completes the offerings.
The 1600 m² garden, adorned with several original stone artefacts, has been meticulously designed by an internationally acclaimed designer on the theme of a lush French garden. The garden features a fountain, statues, irrigation troughs, gazebo, lawn, covered and planted passages with mature trees, and many fragrant plants and flowers. Three wells and a greenhouse complement this space.
The large pool area includes a separate Jacuzzi, a pool kitchen, bathroom, barbeque area, covered lounge, and dining area. This stunning heritage residence has been luxuriously modernized to the highest possible specifications, respecting its historical roots and including all contemporary comforts.
