Authentic farmhouse with barn in historic village

In the heart of the historic village of Fontanile, in the evocative UNESCO setting of the Upper Monferrato, stands this farmhouse with authentic charm, a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. Completely renovated between 2000 and 2003, the main residence has retained its original features, using high-quality materials and paying great attention to modern comfort; in fact, the insulated roof and PVC window frames with triple glazing ensure an A1 energy rating. The brick vaults found in all the rooms on the ground floor bear witness to old stables and tell stories of rural tradition, while the original cellar, transformed into an atmospheric tavern, preserves intact the flavor of past harvests and convivial moments. Adjacent to the main house, the former hayloft, full of character, offers extraordinary potential, a space to reinvent as an atelier, guest annex, or hospitality area. Its ground floor is currently used as a garage and service room, while the double-height first floor is extremely versatile and adaptable to the most varied needs. Outside, the courtyard and the approximately 1,200 sq m garden arranged on 2 levels embrace the property in a green setting, providing privacy and tranquility. In the rear garden, located at the level of the property’s first floor and reachable via a staircase starting from the courtyard in front of the house, there could be space for a panoramic “infinity” pool from which to admire the view of the gentle Monferrato hills, in a scene that enchants at every sunset. In the outdoor area in front of the entrance gate, included in the property, two cars can be parked comfortably. A romantic and authentic home, ideal for those who wish to experience the truest Monferrato among silence, breathtaking views, and atmospheres that evoke a world of ancient flavors, without giving up the history of an iconic village that offers essential services. The pool shown is only a photographic rendering to help imagine a possible placement and, of course, it is not included in the property price.
