A timeless retreat of 18th-century charm in the Monferrato hills

Nestled among the vineyards and woods of this storied land, this typical L-shaped Piemontese farmhouse, dating back to the 1700s, embraces its guests with an ample inner courtyard and garden — an intimate haven reached through a graceful double entrance, both for cars and on foot.
Measuring approximately 450 sqm, this residence preserves the soul of rural Piemonte, thoughtfully renovated to meet modern needs while celebrating tradition.

The main house unfolds as follows:
Ground floor (overlooking the courtyard-garden): a welcoming entrance hall that leads to a fully equipped country kitchen with island and sideboard and a large pantry, a generous, light-filled living room, a hallway with guest WC, a bathroom, and a rustic tavernetta dining room with a wood-fired kitchen and induction hob — the beating heart of convivial gatherings. A spacious storage room with fitted wardrobes completes this space.

Ground floor (rear courtyard): a multi-purpose room supporting the kitchen, a woodshed, guest WC, boiler room, utility room for the central heating system, and a large machinery and tool storage area with a wooden mezzanine.

First floor: three well-separated bedrooms, two bathrooms, a small laundry, and a characteristic open hayloft (fienile) with three traditional brick arches — all opening onto two panoramic terraces and a balcony that frame the ever-changing light of the surrounding hills.

Dépendance: To the right of the main house, looking onto the courtyard garden, stands a practical dépendance: a bright, newly built annexe with exposed roof beams — offering an independent flat with bedroom, open-plan kitchen-living area, and two bathrooms, plus a separate guest room with bathroom and a storeroom.

Facing the main house, an authentic standalone rustic barn, with a ground-floor portico and a hayloft above, completes this harmonious courtyard scene.

Outside, two pergolas offer shaded corners for summer afternoons, while a raised swimming pool invites you to linger under the sun.

The land, spanning 27,300 sqm in one continuous parcel around the buildings, is now laid to meadow and woodland — an emerald belt preserving the privacy and natural soul of the estate.
