Interesting Investment Opportunity: 3 Ha Langhe Hillside Property with Stunning Views, ca. 1.4 Ha DOC Vineyard, Antique Langhe Stone Farmhouse (Rustico) with Original Features and ca. 200 m² Floor Space, in Need of Renovation

East of Alba

Situation : This very attractive property is situated on a sun-drenched hillside high above a small village in the scenic Belbo valley east of Alba. It enjoys a stunning position with panoramic views towards the Langhe hills, yet the piazza - main square - of the local village is only a short drive away. The property is also very private and secluded, being accessed via a long private driveway from a quiet country lane. The motorway can be reached in about 40 minutes.

Vineyard & Grounds: The property measures about 3 Ha ( 7.5 acres), of which ca. 1.4 Ha (3.5 acres) are a mature and well-maintained Moscato, Favorita and Freisa vineyard situated on the slopes surrounding the house. Currently the vineyard is tended by a local farmer, an arrangement that can be continued by the new owner if required. The remaining grounds accommodate a stone rustico, a courtyard, a well, and sloping Mediterranean woodland. The property has well-defined boundaries, and there is space for a swimming pool.

The House : The 18th century building, constructed in solid Langhe stone, was formerly a wine farmhouse: it enjoys a commanding position in the centre of its grounds that affords total privacy. The agricultural and residential parts of the house are under one roof; the total floor area is about 200 m². The original architectural features that give the house its distinct character - including vaulted ceilings and open fireplaces - are still intact, and can be preserved in the necessary renovation. The building has the potential to be turned into a spacious residence: permission could be obtained, if required, to extend the floor space by an additional 20%. We are happy to help the buyer find a very competitively-priced geometra (builder) to oversee any building work required. We provide this service to our buyers free of charge.

Services: Well-drawn water; water and electricity mains are nearby

Sporting facilities: There are a number of golf-courses in Southern Piedmont. The nearest, Margara in Felizzano, can be reached by car in 40 minutes. Tennis courts can be found in the local towns, and horse riding is also very popular, with stables nearby. The excellent network of small, tarmac-surfaced country roads makes the area very popular with cyclists. The beaches of the Italian Riviera are a one hour drive away, and popular Italian ski resorts can be reached within 60 to 90 minutes.

Our personal opinion: A rarely-available Langhe vineyard property with great potential in a beautiful and peaceful location : it would make a fine private residence or a perfect holiday home.
