A dive into history...with breathtaking views

There is an ancient beauty waiting to be awakened. In Vicoforte, surrounded by greenery and bathed in sunlight all day long, stands a property that is not merely a building, but a piece of Piedmontese history ready to become the home of your dreams.

An independent 19th-century farmhouse, free on all four sides, where period charm meets extraordinary potential: being entirely in need of renovation, this property offers the rare opportunity to design and customize every single space to your liking, shaping the rooms around your lifestyle.

The panorama here is a daily privilege: the open view over the hills offers breathtaking vistas and an unparalleled sense of peace, providing the perfect setting for the more than 10,000 sq m of private land surrounding the property. A secluded oasis, ideal for creating a dream garden, a pool immersed in nature, or an appealing agricultural or hospitality project.

This residence embodies a unique spirit and a fascinating heritage:

Cascina “MERCANTIN” preserves in its name the memory of a industrious and fascinating era: once inhabited by a family of merchants, the property stood along the ancient Via del Sale, the historic route bordering the estate and now revived in the evocative Landandé trail.

In the past, this path was travelled by merchants and smugglers of bygone times, intent on transporting the liquid gold of oil, the famous salted anchovies and the precious “white gold”—salt—from the ports of nearby Liguria to the lands of Lower Piedmont, returning laden with fragrant wheat and chestnut flour.

As an authentic testament to this glorious past, an ancient stone well is still preserved inside the home, ready to become the evocative heart of your new life project.

Imagine restoring the original ancient stonework and bringing it back to its former glory, or sipping a glass of wine at sunset from your new panoramic terrace, letting your gaze wander over the hills and enjoying a breathtaking view that brings peace in every season.

Whether you are seeking an exclusive residence beyond time or an investment with unmistakable character, Cascina “Mercantin” is a blank canvas rich in value and history.
