Two Independent Country Houses with 4 Hectares of Land – Near Acqui Terme, Langhe and the Ligurian Riviera
Set in the peaceful Piedmont countryside near Cartosio, just approximately 15 minutes from the renowned spa town of Acqui Terme, this distinctive property offers an attractive combination of space, privacy and flexibility.
The estate consists of two completely independent houses, located next to each other within the same rural setting, together with approximately 4 hectares of land in total.
Around 2 hectares of predominantly meadowland directly adjoin the houses, creating a private and peaceful countryside environment.
A further approximately 2 hectares of land are also included, consisting of two woodland plots located separately from the houses and an additional parcel situated on the opposite side of the road.
The property is particularly suitable as a family country retreat, a main home with separate guest accommodation, or for anyone wishing to combine private living with a holiday rental or small hospitality project.
La Casa Rossa – The Main Country House
Known as La Casa Rossa – Dimora di Campagna, the main house is an authentic Piedmontese country property full of warmth and character.
The internal living area is approximately 110 sqm, with extensive additional covered and ancillary spaces — including loggias, cellars and sheltered areas — bringing the overall usable covered area to more than 300 sqm.
One of the highlights of the property is the large panoramic covered loggia on the upper floor, directly connected to the house and designed as a true outdoor living area.
The loggia features:
outdoor kitchen with sink and preparation area;
barbecue;
traditional wood-fired oven capable of baking approximately five pizzas at the same time;
generous dining area;
relaxation area;
open countryside and valley views.
At garden level there is a further large covered area suitable for parking two large cars, as well as three spacious cellars.
The interiors retain the authentic atmosphere of an Italian country home while remaining comfortable and practical.
All windows were replaced in January 2025 with new wooden frames and double glazing.
The roof is in excellent condition.
A Country Home Already Appreciated by International Guests
La Casa Rossa is already successfully used as a holiday home and has received excellent feedback from guests.
It is also highly appreciated within the international HomeExchange community, confirming the property's appeal to overseas visitors looking for an authentic Italian countryside experience.
For a new owner interested in tourism or holiday accommodation, the house therefore offers not only future potential, but an established history of successful guest use.
Second Independent House – Recently Renovated
Immediately beside La Casa Rossa, while remaining completely independent, is a second house of approximately 75 sqm, together with a ground-floor cellar with separate access.
The property has recently undergone extensive renovation works under Italy's Superbonus and Sismabonus programmes.
It includes:
completely renovated roof;
solar panels;
heat-pump heating system;
electric vehicle charging station.
The interiors are simple, practical and fully functional and comprise:
two bedrooms;
large bathroom with shower;
kitchen and dining area;
storage room.
The second house does not have a separate private garden of its own. When purchased together with La Casa Rossa, however, it naturally becomes part of the same large countryside setting and benefits from the extensive outdoor spaces surrounding the main property.
This makes it particularly suitable as owner's accommodation while La Casa Rossa is used for guests, or alternatively as independent accommodation for family, friends or a second household.
Almost 2 Hectares Directly Surrounding the Houses
A particularly valuable feature of the property is the approximately 20,000 sqm of predominantly meadowland directly adjoining the two houses.
This provides privacy, open space and numerous possibilities for enjoying the countryside, including gardens, orchards, animals, outdoor activities or simply relaxation.
In addition to this land, approximately 2 further hectares are included, divided between two woodland plots and another parcel located across the road.
The total land included with the estate is therefore approximately 4 hectares.
Two Houses, Many Possibilities
The two independent homes create a highly flexible property.
Possible uses include:
main residence + guest house;
owner's accommodation + holiday rental;
two-generation family property;
two independent households;
private home + accommodation for relatives or friends;
residence + home-working space;
private residence + small hospitality activity.
The current configuration already demonstrates one particularly practical possibility: the smaller renovated house can be used as private accommodation for the owners while La Casa Rossa is made available to holiday guests.
This allows privacy and hospitality activities to coexist naturally within the same property.
Countryside, Wine Country, Spa Towns and the Mediterranean Sea
Despite its peaceful rural position, the property is well placed for discovering some of the most attractive areas of north-western Italy.
Acqui Terme is approximately 15 minutes away.
The Western Ligurian Riviera and the Mediterranean coast can be reached in approximately 40 minutes, depending on destination and traffic.
The famous wine-producing areas of Monferrato and the Langhe, internationally renowned for their vineyards, cuisine and historic villages, are also within easy reach.
For an international buyer, the property provides a unique base from which to enjoy Piedmont countryside, world-famous wine regions, thermal towns and the Ligurian coast.
