Description
Stepping through the imposing gate of this majestic historic estate dating back to the 18th century, one loses the dimension of time and enters a secret and exclusive world, immersed in the tranquillity of the large park with its centuries-old trees, made of peace, total privacy, absolute silence, and nature. Situated in an elevated position on a small hill on the outskirts of Alessandria, the property was renovated in 1998 with fine finishes and materials while respecting the original layout, also introducing modern technology and elements of modern comfort, such as the renewal of the plant engineering, a 20-kw photovoltaic system and a lift. The estate is divided into several units that make it a unique residence: the manor house, with its stateliness and noble elegance; the cosy annexe, nestling among the trees, also known as the ‘doll's house’; the orangery with its large, bright windows, a unique and extraordinary room full of light; the consecrated chapel, a small jewel of great charm, brought back to its former splendour by careful restoration; the suggestive farmer's house, a typical rural house housing the farm equipment, but convertible to a guest house, caretaker's house or relaxation area; the botanical greenhouse with an old oven and the original well, small glimpses of an ancient world; finally, the modern pool house, the fulcrum of the area of the park reserved for the swimming pool and solarium. The main villa, following renovation, was developed vertically into two separate units, introducing ex novo in the rear façade two elegant bow windows from which the lift room and an additional bathroom area were obtained. The two units are, however, easily reconverted into a single residence with simple modifications. The main residence is spread over 4 levels: the ground floor, characterised by the precious original floor in Genoese seminato genovese, where the scenic semicircular veranda, the refined dining room with ivy frescoes, the conversation room with the ceramic stove, the living room with the indigo ceiling and the large library room with the lozenge ceiling stand out; the first floor with the sleeping area, a study and the panoramic terrace: the second floor with additional rooms, a small study and two relaxation rooms; the basement with two cellars, the garage for 4 cars and the technical room. Immersed in the park of about 2.6 hectares is the scenic 14x7 metre salt swimming pool, equipped with bathroom, changing rooms, technical room and porch area. The property is completed by an alarm system, automatic irrigation in the pool park and an outdoor parking area for about 20 cars. A unique jewel rich in history and exclusivity, with strong versatile potential: representative residence, private estate, boutique hotel with dedicated restaurant and location for events.
Valle San Bartolomeo is a very green valley between Alessandria and the municipality of Valenza with soft hills bordered by trees that give coolness to the properties surrounded by greenery. In 1849, when Victor Emmanuel II was reigning, a number of families linked to the House of Savoy settled in Valle San Bartolomeo from Turin and built sumptuous villas for their summer stays. Just a few kilometres from the Alessandria ovest exit, easily reached from the main motorway junctions, it is about an hour from Milan, Turin and Genoa. Near Fubine, just 20 km away, is the prestigious 36-hole Golf Margara, a historic hunting residence of the Savoy family.
