Description

In a quiet area, situated between the villages of Ottiglio and Cereseto, lies this splendid late 19th century farmhouse. The complete renovation carried out by the current owner, which began in 2002 and lasted 5 years, has given new life to what was once an old, semi-abandoned farmhouse, but with an enchanting panorama and the right space to create a private residence to accommodate many friends and relatives. In fact, the entire property has 9 bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, plus a further 2 rooms in the caretakers' quarters. The large living room built where the stable used to be, the wine cellar that has become a characteristic breakfast room, the large swimming pool with hydromassage and solarium, an annexe with two of the bedrooms and a kitchen serving the large porch ideal for outdoor banquets, are other spaces created in the spirit of conviviality. The farmhouse, which has a total of more than 40 rooms, has been skilfully renovated, making the most of the typical features found in Monferrato farmhouses, such as the brick ceilings, terracotta floors and walls, both inside and outside, made of cantoni stone. All these characteristics, together with the choice of materials, furnishings and wall colours, make this property, although large, very welcoming, guaranteeing the right amount of privacy for all guests. The beautiful view of the hills, which can be admired both from the swimming pool and from almost all the rooms, always offers different landscapes during the course of the year as the seasons change. Despite the large size of the property (over 1000 square metres), running and heating costs are low, thanks in part to the modern and environmentally friendly woodchip heating system, located in one of the warehouses in the building, which has helped the house achieve an A++ energy classification. In addition to the garden, there are approximately 18 hectares of land, partly arable and partly woodland, all in one body. If you are looking for a large typical farmhouse, with great privacy, no renovation works to be carried out and with all the necessary comforts for a relaxing country life, this solution is right for you.

Location: Ottiglio, Piedmont

The property is located a few kilometres from Moncalvo, in the municipality of Ottiglio. Ottiglio is a municipality of Monferrato in the province of Alessandria, which is built on a hill. Two buildings stand at the highest point: the castle and the parish church, which dominate the landscape and can be seen from miles away. Ottiglio's panorama presents itself with many small houses perched on the hill, creating the illusion of a fairytale village. Walking up its narrow streets towards the top, you are immersed in a medieval atmosphere that will transport you back in time. Worth visiting are the church of San Germano located in a scenic and evocative spot, the castle built in brick and tuff, which is also scenic, the Infernot Carlini (a historic wine cellar carved into the stone) and the hamlet of Moleto (a small historic hamlet of Ottiglio, which has been reborn in recent years thanks to tourism. Due to its particularly scenic location, Moleto has become a summer meeting point). Worth mentioning is the nearby Moncalvo with its characteristic historic centre consisting of the medieval village, with narrow streets, steep ramps, steep alleys and imposing palaces, and the many restaurants and typical craft shops. There are several opportunities to experience Moncalvo throughout the year. In fact, many are the festivals and markets that are organised, among which the well-known truffle fair that takes place in October stands out above all others. The event boasts historical traditions dating back to the 14th century, when the Moncalvo truffle was the official ambassador of the Monferrato lands to all the European courts. A destination for many Italian and foreign tourists, this area rich in vineyards and rolling hills is easily reached from Asti and Casale Monferrato in twenty minutes by car and from Turin, Milan and Genoa in about an hour. Riding stables, golf courses and routes among the vineyards and hills to be travelled by bicycle or on foot are just some of the many activities that can be done surrounded by beautiful landscapes. Monferrato, which has deservedly become a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the ideal place to come and live, even if only for a few months of the year, far from the chaos of the big cities.
