The Location – A Hidden Gem in the Vineyards
Set in a breathtaking hillside position between the wine towns of Santo Stefano Belbo and Canelli, this historic stone farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to create a bespoke countryside retreat in one of Italy’s most prestigious wine regions.
Surrounded by rolling vineyards and open skies, the property guarantees absolute privacy while still being within easy reach of the region’s famed wineries, fine dining, and cultural sites. A charming, unused chapel nearby, maintained by a distant neighbor, adds a touch of history and character without interfering with the tranquility of the estate.
The Property – A Full Renovation Project with Endless Potential
This expansive 610 m² farmhouse is a blank canvas for those who dream of restoring a historic Italian home to its former glory. While the main structural work has been addressed, the property requires a total renovation, allowing the future owner to design every detail to match their vision.
The vast interior space offers multiple layout possibilities, making it ideal for:
- A spacious private residence with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms.
- A luxurious countryside retreat for families and friends.
- A boutique hospitality business, such as a B&B or vacation rental.
- An investment property in Piedmont’s booming real estate market.
The outdoor spaces are equally full of potential:
- A swimming pool can be added by removing a small vineyard section, creating a stunning relaxation area with panoramic views.
- Plenty of room for al fresco dining, terraces, and landscaped gardens.
