East of Alba
This very attractive property is situated on a sun-drenched hillside high above a small village in the scenic Belbo valley east of Alba. It enjoys a stunning position with panoramic views towards the Langhe hills, yet the piazza - main square - of the local village is only a short drive away. The property is also very private and secluded, being accessed via a long private driveway from a quiet country lane. The motorway can be reached in about 40 minutes.
Vineyard & Grounds
The property measures about 2.4 Ha (6 acres), of which ca. 7600 m² are a mature and well-maintained vineyard situated on the slopes surrounding the house. The vineyard includes 4400 m² of Moscato that produces about 5000 to 6000 kg of grapes, 1700 m² of Favorita producing 2000 to 2500 kg, and 1500 m² of Freisa that produces about 1200 kg. Currently the vineyard is tended by a local farmer, an arrangement that can be continued by the new owner if required. The remaining grounds accommodate a stone rustico, a courtyard, a well, and sloping Mediterranean woodland. The property has well-defined boundaries, and there is space for a swimming pool.
The House
The 18th century building, constructed in solid Langhe stone, was formerly a wine farmhouse: it enjoys a commanding position in the centre of its grounds that affords total privacy. The agricultural and residential parts of the house are under one roof; the total floor area is about 200 m². The original architectural features that give the house its distinct character - including vaulted ceilings and open fireplaces - are still intact, and can be preserved in the necessary renovation. The building has the potential to be turned into a spacious residence: permission could be obtained, if required, to extend the floor space by an additional 20%. We are happy to help the buyer find a very competitively-priced geometra (builder) to oversee any building work required. We provide this service to our buyers free of charge.
