2 bedrooms farmhouse, 130 m²

Rocchetta Palafea, Asti (province)

Langhe

These two Langhe stone buildings are located on the very edge of the medieval town of Rochetta Palafea and with the most amazing mountain views you can imagine. This village is in a very desirable area as you will have lots of peace and quiet without being isolated. It is an ideal location for those who want to enjoy the tranquillity of nature – while staying close to the popular villages of Nizza Monferrato and Canelli where you will find all the shops, cafés and restaurants you need.

These two stone buildings, with the main house and the side-building are unique in the sense that you and your neighbour – only - will need to drive through one of the century old city gates to get to the property. Here you truly are in the village but with total privacy.

The main building, which is ready to move into, currently consists of a kitchen and a sitting room with fireplace on the ground floor and two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and is full of old features such as vaulted ceilings, terracotta tiles and a lucerne stone stairway. From one of the first-floor bedrooms you have simply stunning south westerly views of the snowcapped mountains and Mon Viso clearly visible. Under the main building you find a very old small cantina / garage with a well. The side building, laid out over two levels, was originally the stable with an overlying hayloft. The stable has been cleaned out with the current owners using it as a family-get-together room. Also, this part has vaulted ceilings and visible Langhe stone. The hayloft is untouched and ready for a renovation.  On the side of the building, you find a large double garage.

Both buildings are structurally sound and built in a mix of bricks and langhe stone partly exposed and partly plastered. The roofs on both buildings are in terracotta tiles.  The main building is ready to move into with its two bedrooms, a bathroom as well as a kitchen and sitting room while the side building need renovation.

However, once renovated, and perhaps connected to the main building this side building gives you the possibility to create a further two ensuite bedrooms on the first floor and a very large and beautiful ground floor kitchen / living room with direct access to a terrace and breathtaking views across the valleys and mountains.

The property is located just outside the village walls and an asphalt road provide access to this and the neighbouring property only. The house is connected to communal electricity and water. Drainage is as always with these country houses via a septic tank.  Heating is a combination of a wood burning and gas boiler from the communal system (Metano).

This is a great opportunity to purchase something ready to move into yet still with potential for modernisation and expansion. Please contact me for further details and a viewing.
