GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

Unique in the region, we present a historic property in the hills of Monferrato, renovated by two international artists and designers. This property is characterized by a contemporary identity within a traditional context.

Just a few minutes from the historic center of Asti, with excellent transport links, but immersed in the tranquility and greenery of an unspoilt valley. The privacy of this location is further enhanced by the 7 hectares of land that surround the property on all four sides. The house's elevated position on the hill, with southern exposure, offers generous panoramic views.

Location:

The town of Asti is situated in the heart of Piedmont's incredible wine regions, between the hills of Monferrato to the north and Roero, Barolo and Barbaresco to the south-west. Also within easy reach is the beautiful countryside of the Langhe, an internationally renowned UNESCO region.

The house:

Extensive restoration and renovation work has been carried out with the primary intention of maintaining the original quality and materials of the building wherever possible, thus preserving the inherent charm and character of such an old building.

The new work included a complete upgrade of all plumbing and electrical systems. The house is heated by a pellet boiler and solar panels. There is double glazing throughout and the roof is insulated.

The handcrafted detailing and meticulous research into fixtures and fittings extends to the bespoke lighting systems, porphyry kitchen worktops, antique marble bathroom sinks, recycled larch cupboards and designer doors.

The artist's exterior sculptural elements include a unique steel fence and entrance gate, a dining table and barbecue, and two prototype sculptural forms in the private landscape. The bespoke furniture and sculptures can be included in the sale at a cost of €85,000.

The spacious main house, measuring approximately 420 square meters over three floors, currently has two entrances on different levels, one from the ground floor and the other from a secluded garden area on the first floor, which leads directly into a large kitchen and dining room with adjoining kitchenette. There is also a laundry room, a lounge/cinema room and a designer guest bathroom on this floor.

The original internal staircase has been retained and connects all three floors. Upstairs there is a master bedroom with a large en-suite bathroom and two further bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bathroom.

From the first floor there is direct access to the former barn, which has been converted into a magnificent 200m2 studio, very light with large arched windows, offering a variety of uses.

A new internal staircase leads to the large ground floor below, which has yet to be developed and also offers numerous possibilities for customisation. This area includes a large vaulted hall with five further rooms. One or two separate apartments could be created here, or the whole complex could be incorporated into one large residence.

All the preparatory work for the renovation has been carried out on this floor. The main walls of the house have been shored up and the vaulted ceilings sandblasted.

The property includes an area of large arched openings with a canopy at the rear and covered parking on the ground floor. The basement also contains a large vaulted cellar of approximately 100m2, formerly used to store wine barrels.
