Country house with fantastic vaulted ceilings and view of Monviso
Typical Piedmontese - cascina - country house with fantastic vaulted ceilings in the heart of the Dolcetto wine region. The house is situated on a hilltop and offers a breathtaking view of the mountain range of the Maritime Alps with the majestic Monviso (3,841m). The origins of the house are more than 300 years old. At the beginning of the last century, it was a well-known winery producing the famous Dolcetto wine from the surrounding vineyards. In 2011/2012, the house was remodelled by the current owner. The cascina extends over 3 floors. The ground floor is divided as follows: Large functional kitchen with barrel vaulted ceiling, a living/dining room of about 75 m² with spectacular vaulted ceiling and modern fireplace, a studio, a bathroom with shower, utility room with washing machine, dryer and home automation, a fitness room and 2 large rooms with parquet floors. Upstairs there are five bedrooms and two bathrooms each with shower, one of them with jacuzzi. The large cellar is the oldest part of the house. The front part can be used as a garage. The vaulted, brick roof is simply spectacular. The Cascina is situated in the middle of an approx. 1.1 hectare fenced manicured park with large old trees, shrubs and flowers as well as a beautifully maintained large lawn and with a natural stone pool 11 x 4.6 m. The house is situated in the hills on the edge of the Langhe, where nature gives grapes, hazelnuts and truffles. Excursions into the Langhe offer a varied landscape with views of the Maritime Alps. A few minutes away is Alba, the capital of truffles, the wine towns of Barolo and La Morra. Turin or the Ligurian coast can be reached by car in about an hour. Distances: Monforte d'Alba 5 km, Barolo/Dogliani 7 km, Bra 16 km, Alba 20 km, Turin 69 km, to the sea 85 km.
