INCISA SCAPACCINO - MONFERRATO - PIEDMONT Fascinating ancient residence located in the municipality of Incisa Scapaccino, specifically in its historic village, whose architecture and culture enclose traces of past life in every corner. Borgo Villa, located on the hill of the same name, in the past was entirely surrounded by walls and was the seat of the Aleramic Marquisate of Incisa, which remained autonomous until 1.548. The property is 20 kilometres from the Alessandria Sud exit and about an hour and forty minutes' drive from both Genoa and Milan, 30 minutes from Asti, 17 minutes from the Felizzano exit, an hour and ten from Turin and forty minutes from Alba. It still preserves several historical monuments, such as the church of San Giovanni Battista, the remains of the old castle, the evocative 15th-century Church of the Carmine, and the 18th-century 'New Castle', which we are presenting in this ad. This building was renovated at the end of the 19th century in neo-Gothic style and is architecturally organised around an enchanting garden whose vegetation well reflects the greenery of the large park of about two hectares that surrounds the property and gradually disperses into the woods. The overall core of the building covers about 1,300 square metres, and the residential part of about 600 square metres is spread over two floors connected by two wide side staircases, comprising about 20 rationally arranged rooms. The delightful outdoor patio constitutes the main entrance to the living unit in which we find on the ground floor a living room with coffered ceiling, a wooden library with adjacent reading room with fireplace and frescoed ceilings, a living room with piano and ogive windows, a kitchen, a living room with large fireplace and a bathroom. The first floor consists of eight rooms and a bathroom. On the second floor, there is a sewing room, two storerooms, two bathrooms and seven bedrooms connected by a beautiful corridor with stately floors. The atmosphere recreated in these rooms brings back the decorum of a bygone era and time stands still in contemplation. Part of the complex is served by natural gas heating, while sewerage and municipal water supply are available for the entire property. In addition to this residential part, the castle includes arcades, terraces, the storehouse and woodshed, the crenellated walls and the charming turret with loggia whose sand-coloured walls contrast well with the liveliness of the garden. Finally, in the basement we find the cellar on two levels that could be described as monumental in size and beauty. Also worthy of note is the large park of 32.440 sqm that surrounds the property and contains the remains of the original castle, an important historical memory of the village and the entire marquisate. An infinity pool with a view of the valley could be built in this enchanting place.
