Description

Immersed in the lush countryside of Canavese, this residence combines nature, history and elegance with balance and simplicity. It originated in the second half of the 16th century as a water mill, still perfectly operational today. Completely restored and recently enlarged, the farmhouse preserves the distinctive features of rural buildings, skilfully integrated with contemporary design. It also boasts an excellent level of energy efficiency, supported by a 20 kW photovoltaic system. Thanks to its excellent connections to the area’s main cities and attractions, its natural setting enhanced by the historic charm of the ancient mill, and the distinctive design of its interiors, this property is ideally suited to an exclusive relais. In recent years, it has in fact been used as accommodation. Arranged over three levels, served by a panoramic lift and internal staircases, the residence opens onto a large living area comprising a sitting room and dining area, with full-height windows that flood the space with exceptional light. On the same level are a spacious kitchen, an additional multifunctional room and two service bathrooms. Beyond the sitting room lies the oldest wing of the house, featuring a bar room and billiard room, characterised by vaulted ceilings and exposed brickwork. The floor is completed by a large room that can easily be adapted to various needs and is currently used to store antique equipment. Outside, the spacious portico offers an authentic, relaxing experience of the countryside. The first floor comprises seven bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms, two intimate sitting rooms and a storage room. A striking glass walkway crosses the floor, creating a visual and structural connection with the rooms below, while the large terrace offers wonderful views over the extensive green landscape. The second floor includes two further rooms and two bathrooms. This level also contains a self-contained apartment, designed as an independent unit connected to the main residence, comprising a sitting room with kitchenette, two bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes and a bathroom. Outside, the long paved courtyard leads to the enchanting garden, equipped with a barbecue area, where a swimming pool could be built, as shown in the rendering.

Location: Bairo, Piedmont

Bairo is a charming village in the Canavese area, in the Province of Turin, set in a landscape of extraordinary tranquillity and authenticity. Predominantly agricultural in character, the village has preserved a strong rural identity over time, still evident today in its traditional architecture. The village offers all essential services. Just 15 minutes from the motorway, several important cities, including Ivrea, Turin and Milan, are easily accessible. The surrounding area is characterised by gentle hills alternating with fertile plains, cultivated fields and vineyards, all framed by the dramatic presence of the mountains in the background. Nearby are Lake Candia and the renowned Lake Viverone, one of the area’s most popular tourist destinations. Nature and mountain lovers can enjoy the nearby Gran Paradiso National Park, while the Aosta Valley can be reached by car in approximately one hour. The area is also distinguished by its rich historical and cultural heritage, with castles and medieval villages. Among these is the nearby village of Agliè, famous for its imposing Castle, which has served as a location for major television productions. The Bairo Mill dates back to the second half of the sixteenth century, when the Caluso Canal was built in the Canavese area to irrigate the fields and support local agriculture. It was along this waterway that, in 1561, the Community of Bairo obtained the right to build the Mill, making it possible to harness the power of water for productive activities such as milling grain, operating sawmills, powering machinery for weaving and forging, and generating electricity. Between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the area’s productive needs changed, and part of the building was converted into a sawmill, still powered by water. For centuries, the Bairo Mill was one of the central features of the village’s economic life. In 1937, the Mill was purchased by the family of the current owner and remains one of the village’s most distinctive historical landmarks.
