Montferrat

Nestled among the picturesque hills of Alto Monferrato, in a landscape of extraordinary beauty and absolute privacy, we offer for sale an exclusive historic estate dating back to the late 17th century, which has undergone meticulous conservation restoration, preserving its original charm and architectural authenticity. Belonging to the same family for over a century, the property represents a refined example of a traditional Piedmontese country residence, where ancient hand-worked stone walls, original brickwork, wooden beams, fireplaces and reclaimed materials blend harmoniously with modern comforts. The estate comprises three main buildings, perfectly integrated into the natural landscape, and includes four independent residential units, distinguished by elegant interiors, sophisticated finishes, fine architectural details and enchanting views of the surrounding hills. The main building, with a total area of approximately 300 sqm, accommodates on the ground floor a spacious dining room intended for restaurant use, a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom facilities and an exclusive wellness area featuring a heated plunge pool, sauna and dedicated massage spaces. On the upper floor there are two apartments and a large covered and enclosed panoramic terrace, ideal for lunches and dinners overlooking the garden. A short distance away stands a second historic building housing a charming ancient stone cellar, intended for wine storage and the organization of food, wine and truffle tastings. The upper floor accommodates an additional apartment with a spacious enclosed veranda, which can be used as an elegant entertaining area. The third building, constructed entirely of stone, houses a residence of approximately 100 sqm on the ground floor, comprising a living room, kitchen and bathroom, while the upper floor features three bedrooms and an additional bathroom. The interiors, enhanced by period furnishings, natural materials and original architectural features, evoke the authentic charm of traditional country residences. Completing the built estate are a garage with a covered woodshed, with an approximate area of 100 sqm, and additional spaces on the upper floor offering attractive possibilities for restoration and conversion into a new residential unit, subject to verification of the necessary permits and approvals. Outside, the property is surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens, terraces, relaxation areas, centuries-old trees and a splendid swimming pool immersed in greenery, creating an atmosphere of absolute tranquility. Wisteria, lavender, ancient oak trees and natural vegetation contribute to an exceptionally evocative setting, where nature marks the changing seasons. Of exceptional interest is the presence of a fenced natural truffle ground, reported to be certified, extending over approximately 100,000 sqm and characterized by the spontaneous production of prized Piedmontese truffles. This highly valuable distinguishing feature enriches the estate's land holdings and offers attractive development opportunities in experiential tourism and high-end food and wine experiences. The estate also includes agricultural land, vegetable gardens, fruit trees and extensive woodland areas, ensuring privacy, a close connection with nature and a natural environment of rare authenticity. Its secluded yet strategic location allows easy access to nearby towns and major motorway connections, making the property readily accessible from the principal cities of Northern Italy. Thanks to its architectural layout, multiple residential units, facilities dedicated to dining and wellness, and extraordinary natural heritage, this residence is ideally suited both as a prestigious private home and as an exclusive boutique hotel, a charming country retreat, an elegant agritourism property or a luxury hospitality project connected to the region and its outstanding food and wine traditions, subject to applicable permitted uses and required authorizations. A property of rare character, where more than three centuries of history, authentic architecture, nature and hospitality come together, creating a truly prestigious real estate opportunity in the heart of Monferrato.
