Description

In the picturesque historic center of Fontanile, the UNESCO heart of Alto Monferrato, on a panoramic and private road, lies the welcoming modern cottage that combines the charm of the ancient village with contemporary comfort. With interior spaces recently renovated with taste and quality materials, the property offers bright and hospitable environments, perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape. The highlight is the enchanting panoramic view of the hills embroidered with vineyards, stretching between Nizza Monferrato and Acqui Terme, offering unique scenery in every season. A large and charming terraced porch overlooks the landscape directly: an ideal space for moments of outdoor relaxation and conviviality, easily transformable into a panoramic veranda to be enjoyed all year round. From here, at sunset, one can admire the breathtaking sunsets that paint the hills gold and pink and, on clearer days, the majesty of the alpine chain on the horizon. The cottage is developed on a single raised floor with an open space living area, a hallway leading to the sleeping area, equipped with two double bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower. The property is completed by a panoramic garden of about 1400 sqm, where a scenic pool could also be accommodated; and a double garage at street level. An oasis of tranquility and beauty, where history, nature, and modern comfort meet in the most authentic heart of Piedmont. The transformation of the 1970s facade and the creation of the veranda could add charm to the property, giving it a more country and contemporary look, as per the photographic rendering. This is just an inspiration to be taken as a renovation suggestion, which is not included in the asking price.

Location: Fontanile, Piedmont

Fontanile is a charming town in Alto Monferrato, dominated by the grand dome that makes it visible even from a distance. The pride of the town, the dome characterizes the beautiful Church of San Giovanni Battista, built at the end of the 19th century based on a design by architect Gualandi and commissioned by the parish priest Monsignor Soave. The name "Fontanile" indicates the main feature of the area, the numerous spring waters that once fed the Rio Cervino and formed a lake. The residential center originated around the 4th-5th century AD, when barbarian invasions forced valley populations to move to higher and more defensible locations. The remnants of the circular bastions of the ancient Castle are still present in the town center along the main road, affirming the important role played by the Marquisate of Fontanile in the Acqui area. A truly characteristic note that makes Fontanile known as the town of "The Walls Tell Stories" is its history told through evocative murals along the fortress wall and on the facades of houses, real canvases depicting the past, from the Middle Ages to the present day. Surrounded by vineyards and the gentle Monferrato hills that leave one speechless, Fontanile is surrounded by some of the most beautiful towns and villages in Alto Monferrato: Nizza Monferrato, Alice Bel Colle, Castel Boglione, Castel Rocchero, Castelletto Molina, Mombaruzzo, Quaranti. Its strategic position allows for reaching important residential centers in a short time: the spa town of Acqui Terme is only 20 minutes away, Alba is 45 minutes away, Asti is 30 km away. Turin and Milan are respectively 90 km and 120 km away. The famous outlet of Serravalle Scrivia (the largest in Europe) is only 40 minutes by car, the sea is 1 hour away, the mountains 1.5 hours away.
