The Sancta Maria Estate:
As you approach, the estate’s gates open to welcome you into a serene world where modern elegance blends seamlessly with the charm of the past. The Sancta Maria Estate is thoughtfully designed, retaining its historical elements, such as countless 100-year-old trees, the original chapel and pavilions from the 1920s, all enhanced by lush new landscaping.
Meanwhile, you can wake up quietly in the morning to the first birdsong and see the occasional deer strolling through the park, providing a unique connection to nature. It is the ideal place to completely unwind, while the children have adventures in nature right around the house. Playing with other children, in a natural playground made of natural materials, such as wood and ropes, they can use their energy and let their imagination run wild, picking fruit from the fruit trees, and taking lovely walks along the landscaped paths, with dog or pram. In spring, the hyacinths, daffodils and tulips are in full bloom. Around Sancta Maria you see endless colourful tulip fields that turn the surroundings into a beautiful palette. From the house, you can walk straight to these fields, where the scents of the flowers and the serene tranquillity let you totally immerse yourself in the moment. This natural landscape makes the experience of living at Sancta Maria even more magical.
