Description
Tucked away in a picturesque hill-top village of the Monferrato, an ancient village house from the 1700's with an inner courtyard and close to one hectare (2.5 acres) of adjoining land. Accessed either on a village lane or across its own plot of land, the house surrounds the courtyard on all of its 4 sides, assuring a high degree if privacy and at the same time allowing to partake of the atmosphere of traditional village life. Two of the four wings of the house have been completely restored and currently contain a two-story private apartment and an agriturismo-style hospitality business with two impressive dining halls with frescoed vaults, a kitchen and the holiday rental rooms, of which there are at present two but many more can be added considering the as yet unutilized floorspace of the entire compound. In the remaning two wings we find a winery with a tasting room and several storage rooms on the lower level and spacious haylofts on the upper floor which constitute an appreciable possibility for further expansion. The wine cellars are worthy of particular mention for exhibiting impressive brick vaults and including a small cave-like section excavated in the limestone called an „Infernot“, by which name this UNESCO-distinguished area of the Monferrato wine-country came to be known locally. The plot of land adjoins the homestead and extends downhill toward the valley. It is suitable for agricultural use as a vineyard or a hazel plantation or, thanks to its gentle incline, as an area for outdoor activities linked to and complementing the „agriturismo“ hospitality business. The views from the property encompass a landscape of gentle wine-growing hills. The village is located close to Asti and is in easy reach of both Turin and Milan with their several international airports. The property is offered for sale including the furnishings and equipment of the hospitality business and excluding the furnishings of the private section. This keenly priced listing is remarkable for its charm and its noteworthy business potential.
