2 bedrooms villa, 168 m²

Acqui Terme, Alessandria (province)

Montferrat

Here is the possibility of being a “King of your own castle”.

This “Mini Castle” is set on the top of a hill, in a charming garden and among lush greenery. From both the tower and the garden you have fantastic views over Acqui Terme.

Built about 50 years ago – and intentionally as a “Mini Castle” in Gothic style – this is a great property for anyone seeking something special. While the property is ready to move into there may be areas such as kitchen and bathrooms you want to upgrade.

The property consists of a basement level, a ground floor level, and a first-floor level – from where there was (is!) access to the tower. The stairs leading up to the tower has unfortunately been closed off but can be reinstated.  

At present the basement floor consists of a large utility room, a bathroom and a kitchen. The ground floor consists of a very large living room with an open fireplace and an imposing wooden staircase, very high ceilings and a small kitchen. The first floor includes two bedrooms and a bathroom. It is from one of the bedrooms there was (is!) access to the tower.  

The building is partly Gothic inspired and constructed in a mix of bricks and Langhe stone, with tall narrow arched windows, an imposing portico and a high square tower with an upright section of a Battlements giving it a feeling of a fortified castle.

A separate and more recent building is also built in a mix of red bricks and Langhe stone and is currently used as a garage in one end and as a storage / workshop in the other.

The property is located at the end of a private drive and in a large tranquil garden. Water and electricity supply is communal, central heating is via a diesel boiler. Drainage is via septic tank. 

This is a very charming – and different – property which you will need to see to fully appreciate.
