Located in the enchanting hills of Monferrato, in Rocchetta Palafea, this independent stone farmhouse, recently renovated with attention to energy efficiency, offers comfort, sustainability and charm, thanks to the architectural details typical of the region. Just ten minutes from Canelli and Nizza Monferrato, the property is situated in a UNESCO Core Zone, renowned for the beauty of its wine-making landscape and the authenticity of its villages. The solid structure of the farmhouse is made of local stone, giving it a rustic and authentic appearance. The interiors are characterized by exposed brick ceilings and solid wood beams, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The rustic flooring expresses the style of a typical Piedmontese farmhouse. The roof has been completely redone and insulated, ensuring excellent thermal insulation. Beyond the entrance threshold, we are welcomed by a large living room with a fireplace connected to a spacious eat-in kitchen from which, through a French door, it is possible to access the panoramic terrace. The floor is completed with a spacious, finely furnished bathroom. A stone staircase leads to the sleeping area on the first floor where we find two bedrooms, one with a walk-in closet and en suite bathroom, an additional bathroom, and a large and bright room that can be used as a study or guest room. On the second floor, a large and bright room with a panoramic view would be ideal for creating a fitness room. On the semi-basement floor, with direct access from the courtyard, a garage with an automatic door can accommodate three cars and the floor is completed with a laundry room and a utility room. In the large garden it is possible to install a panoramic infinity pool, as shown in the rendering in the last photo. . Furthermore, there is the possibility to integrate the renovated part with an adjacent building portion, whose roof has already been redone and insulated. Eventually, the property enjoys 2.5 hectares of land.
Nestled between the two UNESCO Core Zones (the wine cathedrals of Canelli and the vineyard landscapes of Nizza Monferrato), Rocchetta Palafea is situated in a privileged location, surrounded by the greenery of the hills and is an ideal solution for those seeking a peaceful retreat with authentic charm. Clustered on a hill overlooking the Belbo Valley, Rocchetta was originally a military outpost composed of a tower and a castle that was later destroyed. It belonged to the Aleramic Marquisate and then to the Ponzone branch, and in 1347 it passed to the Municipality of Genoa, which entrusted it to Enrico del Carretto. The town has preserved some original structures and also the Baroque interventions, such as the harmonious parish church and the oratory, which are well integrated into the urban context. From Rocchetta Palafea, the towns of Nizza Monferrato and Canelli can be reached in 10 minutes; Acqui Terme is accessible in 20 minutes.
