Charming 18th-Century Piedmontese Farmhouse in the Hills of Monferrato
Set in the gently rolling hills of Monferrato, this authentic U-shaped 18th-century Piedmontese farmhouse, measuring approximately 450 square meters, is built around a spacious internal courtyard with a landscaped garden. The property is accessed through a charming double driveway and pedestrian entrance, providing both functionality and curb appeal.
The main residence offers a well-thought-out layout. On the ground floor, facing the inner courtyard and garden, you’ll find a welcoming entrance hall, a large storage room with custom-fitted wardrobes, a spacious pantry, and a fully equipped kitchen featuring a central island and sideboard. The bright and generous living room is ideal for relaxation and entertaining. A hallway with cloakroom area leads to a bathroom and a rustic-style family dining room (tavernetta), complete with a wood-fired oven and induction cooktop — blending tradition with modern convenience.
On the same level, but overlooking the rear courtyard, there is an additional utility room supporting the kitchen, a woodshed, a separate toilet, a boiler room, a heating system control room, and a spacious storage area for agricultural equipment and tools, which also includes a wooden mezzanine for added storage capacity.
The first floor comprises 3 bedrooms, each with independent access, 2 bathrooms, and a small laundry room. A traditional open hayloft (portico) with three classic exposed brick arches adds character, while two terraces and a balcony offer breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
To the right of the main house, overlooking the courtyard and garden, stands a recently built, high-quality guest annex with exposed roof beams. This structure includes an apartment with a bedroom, an open-plan kitchen-living area, and 2 bathrooms. Additionally, there is a separate room with its own bathroom and a storage space, making it ideal for hosting guests or for use as a private suite or rental unit.
Opposite the main house, also facing the courtyard, is a traditional independent outbuilding. It features a covered portico on the ground floor and a hayloft on the upper level, staying true to the region’s rural architectural charm.
The garden courtyard is completed by 2 pergolas and an above-ground swimming pool, creating an inviting and serene outdoor space for relaxation and leisure.
Included in the sale is a single, continuous plot of land measuring 27,300 square meters, currently divided between meadow and woodland, offering privacy and natural beauty in equal measure.
The location is both tranquil and conveniently connected. The center of Cortandone (AT) is just 1.5 kilometers away. The Asti Ovest exit of the Turin–Piacenza motorway is 13 kilometers away, the Feudo di Asti Golf Club is 12 kilometers away, while Alba is 37 kilometers and Turin 45 kilometers from the property.
In addition to serving as a single- or multi-family residence, this property has excellent potential for use as an agriturismo, bed & breakfast, boutique farm, or educational retreat.
The house is equipped with solar panels for hot water production, and all technical systems are certified and fully compliant. The electrical system is home-automation ready (domotics), and heating is provided through underfloor and wall systems. The current setup runs on gas-methane, with provisions in place for a wood or pellet boiler. Double-glazed windows ensure energy efficiency and comfort, while added features include a security alarm system, a private well with underground water storage tank, a centralized built-in vacuum system, and a 6.5 kW photovoltaic system with a 5 kW battery for energy storage.
