Surrounded by the hills of Monferrato in the municipality of Odalengo Grande, this welcoming home offers a rare balance of authenticity, privacy and generous spaces to enjoy in close contact with nature. Access is via a private road running through the woods and leading to the property’s courtyard, a large paved area accommodating the house and its ancillary spaces. It is a secluded, peaceful setting where the rural character remains intact and the landscape becomes an integral part of everyday life. The house retains the distinctive features of the area’s rural architecture, with its warm-toned façade, long first-floor balcony and porch extending along the side and rear, creating continuity between the interiors and the surrounding landscape. The main entrance leads to the central area, characterised by the staircase connecting the two levels. The ground floor includes a study, while the spacious living area with kitchen and lounge opens to the right. Enhancing the room is a distinctive wood-burning stove-fireplace with a rustic stone oven, designed to release heat gradually and create a warm, convivial atmosphere. The ground floor is completed by a bathroom, storage room, pantry and utility room with boiler. Upstairs, a hallway leads to four bedrooms, a large bathroom and an additional storage room. Two bedrooms and the hallway open onto the south-facing balcony, from which views extend over the hills and the valley opposite. There is also an additional unfinished area that can be customised as a fifth bedroom, study, hobby room or independent living space. The annexe, reached from the rear of the house, is ideal for accommodating friends and family or creating a self-contained unit. The ground floor includes a living area with kitchenette and bathroom, while the first floor has a bedroom overlooking the hillside. The property’s outstanding feature is its more than 80,000 m² of hilly land, part of which is already laid out and planted, offering space for agricultural activities, animals and cultivation. There is a vegetable garden, greenhouse, chicken coop and numerous fruit trees, including apple, peach, persimmon, fig, hazelnut and walnut trees. In the courtyard, the large covered area can accommodate up to three cars or be used as a woodshed, workshop or hobby space. The location combines the tranquillity of the countryside with convenient connections. Odalengo Grande retains the charm of a small village surrounded by greenery, while nearby towns offer shops, restaurants and services.

Location: Odalengo Grande, Piedmont
Odalengo Grande is located in the heart of Monferrato, amid an authentic hilly landscape still deeply connected to nature, where woods, vineyards, springs and small villages create a setting of rare harmony. It is an ideal area for those wishing to live far from the pace of the city, surrounded by greenery and a network of trails inviting exploration on foot, among open panoramas, silence and views over the Piedmontese hills. In recent years, this part of Monferrato has attracted a growing number of international visitors, won over by the authenticity of the area, its food and wine tradition, and the widespread hospitality offered by farm stays, relais and guest houses immersed in the countryside. The area is also home to one of the most valuable treasures of Piedmontese tradition: the white truffle, which finds its natural habitat in the local woods and enlivens fairs, markets and events dedicated to this product every autumn, attracting enthusiasts and gourmets from abroad as well. Its location also makes it possible to explore some of Monferrato’s most fascinating historical and cultural landmarks, from Gabiano Castle, surrounded by vineyards and an elegant park, to the Sacro Monte of Crea, a UNESCO World Heritage Site immersed in the hilly landscape, as well as Moncalvo, with its distinctive historic centre and medieval architecture, and Cella Monte, home to the Ecomuseum of Pietra da Cantoni, a testament to a building tradition deeply linked to the history of the area. Living in Odalengo Grande means choosing a place where the landscape is not simply the backdrop to everyday life, but an essential part of it: a setting shaped by nature, culture, culinary excellence and a slower pace. Adding to the appeal of its location is its surprising convenience: while offering the peace and privacy of the countryside, it provides easy access to the main towns and motorway junctions of Asti, Casale Monferrato and Vercelli. Turin can be reached in about an hour, while Milan and its airports are approximately an hour and a half away. Its strategic position also makes it easy to reach both the mountain resorts of Piedmont and the Aosta Valley, ideal for sports and outdoor activities, and the Italian Riviera and coastal resorts, making this location particularly attractive to those wishing to alternate the pleasures of the countryside with days by the sea or in the mountains throughout the year.
