The Location
Set in the peaceful hills of the municipality of Gorzegno, in southern Piedmont, this remarkable property enjoys one of the area’s most secluded and panoramic positions. Nestled high above the surrounding valleys, it is reached by a well-maintained gravel road winding through mature woodland, creating a truly atmospheric approach. The journey itself becomes part of the experience, leading through the forest to a place that feels hidden from the outside world, known only to those familiar with the area.
The private access road is shared by only two other properties on the hillside, both positioned far enough away to ensure complete privacy. Once you arrive, the sensation is one of absolute tranquillity. There are virtually no immediate neighbours, no passing traffic, and no urban noise—only the sounds of nature and uninterrupted views across the rolling Langhe landscape.
This is an ideal setting for buyers seeking peace, privacy and an authentic Italian countryside experience, while remaining within comfortable reach of the villages, vineyards and cultural attractions that have made southern Piedmont increasingly sought after by international buyers.
The Property
The estate comprises approximately 2 hectares of land together with two traditional stone farmhouses requiring complete restoration. The land gently follows the natural contours of the hillside through a series of attractive terraces, bordered by woodland that enhances both the privacy and the natural beauty of the property.
With a combined internal surface of around 180 square metres, the buildings retain the timeless character of traditional Langhe rural architecture. Natural stone walls, generous proportions and an elevated panoramic setting provide an outstanding foundation for an ambitious restoration project.
The combination of terraced land, mature woodland and complete privacy offers exceptional flexibility. The property could become a spectacular private residence immersed in nature, a holiday retreat for multiple generations, or an attractive hospitality project designed for guests seeking authentic countryside experiences in one of Italy’s most desirable regions.
Its elevated position ensures open views across the surrounding hills while maintaining excellent sun exposure throughout much of the day.
The First Stone Building
The first farmhouse is arranged over two floors and offers excellent potential for conversion into a comfortable country residence while preserving its traditional architectural character.
Following restoration, the generous internal spaces could accommodate spacious living areas, bedrooms overlooking the surrounding countryside, and inviting outdoor spaces connected directly to the terraced gardens.
The Second Stone Building
The second building is arranged over two main floors plus a basement level, offering additional flexibility for residential or hospitality use.
The lower level benefits from openings overlooking the surrounding landscape, making it suitable for far more than simply storage or utility spaces. With thoughtful restoration and large glazed openings, it could become a bright kitchen and dining area connected directly to the outdoors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. The area immediately in front of the building could be landscaped into a lawn or garden terrace, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining while enjoying the panoramic views. The upper floors offer generous space for comfortable living accommodation. Together with the first building, the property presents outstanding development potential for buyers wishing to create a private country estate, multiple independent residences, or charming guest accommodation while preserving the authentic character of the original stone buildings.
