Farmhouse / Estate for sale to Merana

Spigno Monferrato, in the countryside of the Upper Monferrato region: 30 minutes from the coast and an hour from the ski slopes, a property in a hamlet a short distance from the village centre, which is easily reached on foot.

Situated on slightly higher ground, it offers lovely views over the village and the tower, and its south-facing aspect ensures it is sunny all day long.

The property comprises several buildings.

The main building is the residential one, which features a large open-air portico with an exposed roof on one side, a spacious garage for two cars, additional storage for agricultural tools, a very large garage, and a summer kitchen on the ground floor for preserving food and outdoor dining. There is also what used to be the old flat, comprising a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom accessible from the outside.

On the first floor of the main building, we find the actual living area, with a corridor leading to a utility room housing the boiler, two interconnecting bedrooms with a bathroom, a huge bedroom with a balcony and window, a further recently fitted bathroom, another bedroom and a 32-square-metre living room with kitchen.

From here, there is access to a veranda that could be converted into a further flat.

The roof is completely new, both in terms of the tiling and the beams; the gates, both pedestrian and vehicular, have been completely rebuilt; there is a further detached building with a former stable below and a barn above; and additional detached outbuildings including a henhouse and a shed.

The finishes vary: the old part of the house features 1950s finishes, whilst the first-floor section has more recent finishes and installations dating from the 1980s to the 2000s.

The property is connected to mains water and electricity, and features a heating system comprising an LPG boiler, a pellet stove, a wood-burning stove and convector heaters in the old section.

Septic tank, mains water, electricity.

A property with great potential; it is in need of maintenance but is in excellent structural condition, with good finishes and quality materials in the main apartment. It also offers great potential for a B&B or guesthouse, given its large floor area and location a short distance from the sea, the ski slopes, the spa town of Acqui Terme and the wine-producing regions of Piedmont. Land of approximately 26,000 m² comprising arable land and flat grassland.
