Stone Farm Houses with 11 Hectares of Land in the Alta Langa

VIRTUAL TOUR - click here

Tucked away in the lush greenery of the Upper Langhe hills (Alta Langa), half way up on a Western-facing slope, this property is the ideal spot for “switching off” and finding back to a more natural way of life.
An unpaved albeit easily negotiable road leads up to the ancient farmstead’s courtyard which is bordered by a stone farm house, restored soberly though comfortably, an ancient stable with overlying hayloft, an original, still functioning oven and a stone rainwater basin.
The main “rustico”, which contained the dwellings already at the settlement’s origin, spreads over two floors of about 60 square meters each. On the courtyard level we find a living room with fireplace, a kitchen, a bath and a bedroom.
The lower ground floor features a bedroom with attached bathroom and two former cellar rooms which have been refurbished and furnished as additional bedrooms. The house is equipped with liquid gas heating and a wood heating stove and its windows are double glazed.
A terrace with fine wide-ranging views overlooks the valley and the picturesque village of Castelletto Uzzone whose pastry shop is worth of mention.
The former stable and hayloft, measuring likewise about 60 square meters per floor, is suitable for transformation into a habitation subject to an official change of use.
The houses are set at the center of an 8-hectare (almost 20 acre) land holding containing a water well and consisting in part of woods, in part of pastures and ploughland.
Additional disjoined parcels of land totaling approximately 3 hectares (over 7.4 acres) are located in the vicinity, bringing the overall land holding to 11 hectares (over 27 acres). The ecological diversity of this piece of land is worth of mention. As many as 32 different wild orchid varieties have been found on the property.
The property is set 15 kilometers south of Cortemilia and only 55 kilometers (30 miles) from the beaches of the Italian Riviera.
We strongly recommend a viewing for clients looking for a property in undisturbed, peaceful surroundings, a more and more difficult type of location to find nowadays.
