Country Home - Restored for sale in Clavesana - A noteworthy property in the Langhe hills / CLV016

A noteworthy property in the Langhe hills of Dogliani, at a short distance from the town of Carrù.

The estate is set on the outskirts of the village of Clavesana, seat of one of the area’s most renowned wineries.

With all amenities and services like shops, the local school and cafés conveniently close-by, the property is distinguished by its privacy thanks to the presence of about 13.000 sq meters (3.2 acres) of mostly level verdant land where the current owners have created a park with mature trees and a paddock.

The U-shaped country house contains in two of its three wings the two self-contained habitations while the third wing harbors on its ground floor the winery and on its upper floor the spacious attic.

The main habitation is located in the original 18th-century manor house; it has been restored recently and spreads over three floors plus a basement with a cozy tavern-like leisure room. The home’s ground floor features a billiard parlor, a bathroom and a laundry room.

On the first floor a spacious living room with a fireplace and a large live-in kitchen with fine brick vaults and cotto floors.

On the second floor we find two bedrooms, each with its private bath.

The second other habitable wing of the house has been refurbished more recently and contains a 190 sq meter apartment consisting of a sprawling living room, a kitchen, a dining area, a hall, two bedrooms and a bathroom. This apartment opens onto a large, 80 sq meter partly covered terrace as well as two balconies.

The ground floor of this section of the house contains a large garage and three service rooms.

The section of the house containing at present the winery and the attic is apt to be converted into additional habitations if desired. It measures approximately 400 sq meters over two floors. The side of the wing opening onto the park contains a canopy with 3 horseboxes.

An important asset of the property is represented by the land plot of land surrounding the house which is largely level and of a regular shape.

A gazebo to enjoy on pleasant summer days graces the park with mature trees. The remaining part of the land is used for equestrian activities, the current owners’ hobby. The land is bordered on two sides by paved roads and has different access points, making it easy to put it to different uses if desired. Its size, features and location endow this property with a high degree of versatility.

Its can continue to be used as a private residence, but it can equally well be converted into a distinguished hospitality business which will have the advantage of a most convenient location close to the ever more popular tourist destination of the Langhe wine country and to the motorway exit making it possible to get either to Turin or to the seaside in less than an hour, while about 30 minutes are needed to reach the ski slopes of the Maritime Alps with 130 kms of well-maintained ski runs.
