Fully restored 12 years ago, this Monferrato property is a great find. There’s nothing to worry about as the foundations, roof, systems, etc have all be renewed and will last for years to come. Located on a hillside of a wide valley with great views towards Asti and less than 10 mins drive from the city centre.

On the ground floor to the right side is a kitchen and dining room. The wall dividing them can easily be removed to make one large room. Next to this is the central staircase then a large living room with wood-burning fireplace though the house also has gas central heating. Next to this room is a bedroom and bathroom with shower and is home to the heating system and water tank.

On the first floor to the right through a doorway is a large bedroom and bathroom. This area can be kept independent so is ideal for guests. To the left of the stairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom.

To the rear of the house is a large red-brick building which is a garage, store and an underground cellar cut into the hillside. Next to this is a woods store. Above this unit is a terrace that could be improved to use as a relaxing space.

The land is 40,000 sqm (9 acres) and consists of garden, fields and woodlands. The land is source of firewood and could be used for horses, etc. The land has no right of way, the neighbours have a private access road that does not cross the land.

Yearly taxes are very low, if you have residency around €80/yearly and around €400/yearly if you are not resident.

The property has gas, water, electricity, high-speed internet. The septic tank was replaced in the restoration works.

The house is attached to the neighbour on one side but is a calm place with no disturbance. Asti is a short distance away, a great town with so much to offer.
