Description
Panoramic views, authenticity and privacy define the character of this property set amid the landscape of the Langhe, in a dominant position overlooking the Belbo Valley and the surrounding vineyards. One hectare of land belongs to the property and surrounds the farmhouse, offering the possibility of planting new Moscato or Barbera vineyards, while the spacious courtyard allows for the construction of a swimming pool in the position best suited to the outdoor areas. The property reflects the design of a traditional Piedmontese farmhouse, with generous volumes and materials linked to local tradition. Brick, stone, wood and terracotta interact throughout the interiors, maintaining a direct relationship with the Langhe setting. Arranged over three levels, the property offers versatile spaces suitable for a variety of residential needs. The interiors have undergone renovation work to update the home’s comfort while preserving its most distinctive features. The main entrance leads to a welcoming area characterised by Piedmontese brickwork. On the right, a spacious living area enhanced by natural light can be used as a tavern, relaxation area or gym, or converted into an independent unit for guests or service staff. On the opposite side is the kitchen, where the centuries-old wood-burning fireplace, terracotta and exposed brick create an authentically Piedmontese atmosphere. This level also includes bathrooms, a large living room and a generously sized bedroom. A terracotta and wooden staircase leads to the upper floor, dominated by a large reception room with open views over the Langhe and the valley. The flooring alternates wood and stone, complementing a space designed for conviviality and entertaining several guests. The sleeping area comprises four spacious bedrooms and two windowed bathrooms, with a layout designed to ensure independence and comfort. Outside, the garden follows the natural contours of the land and opens onto the surrounding landscape. A canopy provides covered parking, while a separate cellar houses a bread oven, recalling the farmhouse’s original rural vocation. Partly planted and carefully maintained, the land surrounds the property and enhances its sense of independence and privacy. Its location, generous dimensions and versatile layout make the farmhouse suitable both as a private residence and as a base for a hospitality project, in an area with a strong gastronomic and tourism vocation.

Location: Santo Stefano Belbo, Piedmont
Santo Stefano Belbo is a charming town in the province of Cuneo. Its territory extends along the edge of the Langhe, across a landscape rich in hills. The most famous son of Santo Stefano Belbo is the writer Cesare Pavese, whose birthplace now houses an important museum and gives its name to the celebrated “Pavese Trail,” which passes through the landscapes and places featured in his famous books. From an artistic standpoint, the imposing remains of the Romanesque Abbey of San Gaudenzio, at the foot of Moncucco Hill, are well worth noting. The building recalls the period when Benedictine monks not only cleared the land for vine cultivation but also offered hospitality to pilgrims. Of remarkable beauty, on the summit of the hill that seems almost to have landed above the town centre, stands the Moncucco Sanctuary, dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows. Every year, on 4 August, the signal to light the bonfires that illuminate the hilly landscape is sent from here—a highly evocative and romantic tradition.
The settlement of Santo Stefano Belbo probably dates back to after the year 1000, but it is certain that the town was of considerable importance during the feudal period, as evidenced by the ruins of one of the towers of the ancient castle. The town comes alive throughout the year with characteristic wine-and-food events and festivities, including the noteworthy “Cubiot” Fair (cubiot meaning couples of lovers), held at the beginning of December. Among the stalls and tastings set up along the streets, visitors can enjoy the amusing figure of the “bacialé,” a character from Langhe tradition who was accustomed to acquiring an abundance of coats thanks to his skill as a romantic matchmaker among the young people of the area. Santo Stefano Belbo, the town of the “good life,” is half an hour from Alba, Barolo and Barbaresco, 40 minutes from Asti, and one hour from Liguria. Milan and Turin can be reached in just over an hour, and Genoa in two hours.
