Charming piemontese farmhouse: A timeless restoration opportunity in the heart of UNESCO Heritage

Nestled in the prestigious vineyard landscapes of the UNESCO World Heritage zone, perfectly positioned between the historic towns of Canelli and San Marzano Oliveto, lies this authentic independent farmhouse. A rare find that combines traditional Piedmontese architecture with an unparalleled 360-degree panoramic view.

Spanning approximately 320 sqm, this property is a hidden gem awaiting a visionary restoration. It retains all the sought-after original features that define a luxury country home:

• Original brick vaulted ceilings, perfect for sandblasting to reveal their warm, historic glow.

• Period flooring that preserves the rustic elegance of the Langhe and Monferrato tradition.

• Spacious interiors offering endless layout possibilities for a bespoke luxury residence or even an agrituristic business.

The upper floor grants access to a vast panoramic terrace. This extraordinary space offers a complete 360-degree vista over the rolling hills and manicured vineyards—a perfect setting for sunrise breakfasts or sunset cocktails.

Adjacent to the main living quarters, the property features substantial outbuildings that offer incredible architectural potential:

• The traditional hayloft (Fienile): No Piemontese farmhouse is complete without its hayloft. This space is fully recoverable and, with its soaring ceilings, is perfect for creating a dramatic double-height living room with floor-to-ceiling glass walls or a spectacular master suite.

• The agricultural warehouse. This versatile structure offers incredible potential:

• Conversion into a high-end private SPA and fitness center overlooking the landscape.

• Transformation into a self-contained guest cottage (dépendance) for friends or luxury holiday rentals.

• Redevelopment to further enhance the outdoor living areas.

The estate includes 3,800 sqm  of private land directly in front of the house. This gentle slope is the ideal location for:

• An infinity pool facing the vineyards.

• A private orchard or organic kitchen garden.

• Manicured Mediterranean-style gardens.

For those seeking even more space and privacy, there is the unique opportunity to purchase two additional plots of land totaling approximately 3,000 sqm. These plots, located just a short distance from the main farmhouse, are ideal for those wishing to expand the estate for agricultural use, create a private vineyard, or simply ensure an even greater buffer of tranquility and greenery around the property.

While enjoying total peace and rural privacy, the property is exceptionally well-connected. Both Canelli (famous for its “Underground Wine Cathedrals”) and San Marzano Oliveto are just a 5-minute drive away. You are in the heart of Italy’s finest food and wine region, surrounded by Michelin-starred restaurants and world-class wineries.

An exceptional opportunity to create a dream home or a boutique hospitality business in one of Italy’s most coveted locations.
