Description
Italy Upper Piedmont. VCO. Preglia hills of Crevoladossola. Villa Raghezzi. The property includes a 140 m² villa and a 116 m² annex, surrounded by 6 hectares of woodland, parkland, a no-treatment vineyard, an orchard and a collection of 180 roses and hydrangeas. The presence of an abundant source of drinking water supplies a swimming pool, fountains and a fishpond, and allows the irrigation of a large vegetable garden. The breathtaking view of the Alps and the pastoral valley adds a touch of enchantment. To preserve the environment, no chemical fertilizers or pesticides have been used on the property for the past 18 years. The annex, a renovated old farmhouse, features a well-equipped kitchen with stone floors and an original 17th-century fireplace, a 31 m² living room, a bedroom and a bathroom. Upstairs, there is a private apartment with two bedrooms, kitchenette and bathroom. The kitchen offers two terraces, one covered by wisteria and the other with a canopy, ideal for outdoor dining. Two ziplines cross an open space, allowing the transportation of heavy objects and providing entertainment. A pedestrian bridge, pending building permits, will facilitate direct access to the property, eliminating the need for a walk up the hill. The property also includes four outbuildings: a sheep stable, a barn, a lovely additional bedroom and an ancient wine press, ideal for group activities or as a study. In the woods at the top of the property, near the spring, there are three large stone barns that can legally be renovated as living spaces. The location is well connected, with 10 daily trains stopping in Preglia, offering direct and easy access between Switzerland and Domodossola. The Preglia di Crevoladossola train station can be reached by car, and from there the houses are only a 5-10 minute walk away.
