Description

SAN GWANN. A unique historical House of Character, centrally situated on the outskirts of this town, ideally located, offering lots of features of historical value.  Comprising hall, sitting/dining, fitted kitchen/breakfast, three bedrooms, main bathroom, shower ensuite, laundry and garden with space for a swimming pool. Hidden in the tranquil landscape of San Ġwann stands a remarkable property whose stones have witnessed the unfolding history of Malta. Known historically as the headquarters of Vincent Borg “Brared”, one of the most prominent leaders of the Maltese uprising against the French in 1798, this carefully restored farmhouse is far more than a residence — it is a landmark of Maltese heritage. During the Maltese rebellion, Brared established his command post within this very farmhouse. From the hill on which the property stands, he strategically positioned a cannon overlooking the surrounding valleys. The site served both as an operational base and a lookout point, making it a crucial element in the resistance effort. The spirit of that era still echoes through the thick stone walls, original architectural features, and preserved historical elements that have been respectfully maintained throughout the restoration. Today, the property has been beautifully converted into a residential home, blending modern comfort with authentic Maltese character. Yet its historical integrity remains intact, making it ideally suited not only as a unique luxury residence but also as a potential museum, cultural attraction, or private heritage estate. With its commanding hilltop position, deep-rooted historical significance, and unique connection to one of Malta’s most important national figures, this property presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking something truly extraordinary — a home that is not only lived in, but remembered.

Local Information San Gwann

San Ġwann is a recent development which grew in the 1960s from several smaller communities. It is a sought-after residential area lying just inland from Sliema. So rapidly have shops and cafes sprung up here in the past decade, that San Ġwann has become a busy commercial centre in its own right. Tucked away in the residential area are some of Malta's enigmatic cart ruts. Thought to date back to the Bronze Age, these curious parallel grooves cut in the rock have defied clear explanation. They may have been used for some sort of prehistoric vehicle, perhaps for the carrying of soil. San Ġwann is the site of a remarkable troglodyte church, Tal-Mensija Chapel, dating back earlier than the 15th century. Its origins are shrouded in mystery and legend. Pope Leo XII granted the small church privileges in 1879 and it remains to this day a place of devotion.
