Between Acqui Terme and Cortemilia
Situation: This modern country home is set on the edge of a small medieval hill-top village, 650m above sea-level, and enjoys magnificent views over the Langhe hills as far as the French Alps. It occupies a plot of about 1200 sq m in a very sunny position. The ancient village with its impressive tower is famous for its wonderful cheese specialities, which together with the excellent air quality, sunshine, unlimited hiking facilities and an unspoilt and peaceful environment attracts tourists around the year. The nearest shopping facilities are in Vesimi (4.5 km), home of the famous restaurant "Il Castello", and in Cortemelia (7km). Savona on the Ligurian Coast is 40 minutes away.
The house was built in the early 1980's and is of brick construction with a plastered exterior and stone foundations. It is square in shape, has a total of 360 sq.m (3,600 sq. ft) on 3 levels, and comprises two independent units each with an individual entrance and about 100 sq. m (1,000 sq. ft) of floorspace. It could easily be converted into a one family home, or if desired one of the units could be used for revenue-creating vacation rental.
