Description
There are many places where you can buy a farmhouse with attached vineyards. In the Piedmontese Langhe there are rare properties that contain, as in this estate, everything you want to find in a secluded rural context yet close to the conveniences of a lively and proactive town.
The area is that of Alba, capital of the Langhe. The farmhouse is hidden from view; an old gate leads to an avenue that runs alongside the Nebbiolo vineyards; in front, the Unesco Heritage hills that surround the city and in the background the crown of mountains dominated by Monviso.
The building is an ancient farmhouse unique in its kind; the rustic house is ennobled by a patio, a terrace overlooking the vineyards and the surrounding panorama which opens onto the hills. Internally the house is made up of various rooms, typical of the period in which it was built, with fireplaces, recovered attics, stairs that go down and reveal other spaces. In the basement, a stupendous cellar with small barrel arches, some frescoes and the old terracotta floors recall an everyday life made of nature and small gestures of elegance.
Closely connected to the house are the barn and the old stable, completely integral parts recoverable for residential purposes both in the upper part, a natural extension of the noble part of the house, and on the ground floor, a useful garage for cars.
The house is completed by an appurtenant area of approximately 4000 m2. and approximately two hectares of vineyard which are sold for Euro 300,000.00.
On this link you will find a first project proposal, by an architect from Alba, which involves a recovery intervention aimed at the restoration and conservation of the building, enhancing the structural peculiarities and existing and therefore authentic decorative elements.
At the same time, however, a decidedly modern language defines the interventions to be carried out from scratch.
A walkway could connect the wellness area on the first floor with the outdoor swimming pool set in the greenery, designed in a panoramic position.
All with the aim of showing how it is possible to best recover all the wonderful and unique things this property can offer to those who want to treat themselves to a dream.
