Nestled in the tranquillity of the Alessandria countryside, this historic farmhouse dating back to the early 20th century represents a rare example of traditional Piedmontese rural architecture, carefully preserved and enhanced. The property is detached on three sides and occupies a 2,200 sqm farmyard, surrounded by 5 hectares of flat, fertile agricultural land. The land is not included in the asking price but may be purchased together with the farmhouse. The farmhouse follows the traditional enclosed courtyard layout, once the heart of rural life. The spacious and harmonious internal courtyard is framed by arched porticoes and agricultural buildings, creating a balanced architectural ensemble of remarkable historic character. The porticoes, featuring masonry pillars and exposed vaulted ceilings, provide shaded and versatile spaces, ideal for both agricultural purposes and outdoor entertaining. The farmhouse has been partially renovated with meticulous attention to detail, respecting local architectural traditions and preserving its original materials. The building systems have been upgraded to modern standards, ensuring contemporary comfort without compromising the property's historic soul. The interiors are spacious, bright and thoughtfully arranged, with high ceilings that lend an exceptional sense of openness and elegance. The rooms retain their original rural character, reinterpreted with functionality and refinement. The layout is particularly suitable both as a prestigious private residence and for potential hospitality or agritourism ventures. The property enjoys a secluded yet accessible location, within easy reach of the main transport routes. The surrounding landscape is quintessentially Piedmontese, with open horizons, a slower pace of life, natural light and tranquillity, making this farmhouse a place of remarkable charm and authenticity. The ground floor accommodates the main living and entertaining areas, designed to provide generous, functional spaces while preserving the charm of the original architectural layout. The entrance opens into a generously proportioned reception hall, creating a natural transition between the outdoors and the interior while immediately introducing the warm, authentic atmosphere of the residence. From here, a magnificent living room unfolds, characterised by generous proportions, impressive ceiling heights and abundant natural light, making it ideal for entertaining and social gatherings. Adjacent to the main living room is a spacious sitting room, perfect as a relaxation or reading area, which connects harmoniously with the dining room, itself generously sized and conveniently linked to the other rooms on this floor. The large, fully functional eat-in kitchen retains the character of traditional rural living while meeting the demands of contemporary life. A guest bathroom and a bedroom complete the ground floor. The bedroom offers considerable versatility and could serve as guest accommodation, a study or a principal bedroom on the ground level. An original stone staircase leads to the first floor, entirely dedicated to the sleeping quarters. Here, four generously proportioned and well-lit bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, one of which benefits from a private en-suite bathroom. The floor features thoughtfully arranged hallways, ensuring practical and effortless circulation between the rooms. A spacious dressing room and wardrobe area represents an exceptional feature for a historic farmhouse, offering valuable storage and organisation space for the sleeping quarters. The second floor accommodates a large attic, currently in its original condition and requiring renovation, offering an interesting opportunity to create additional usable space, subject to the necessary permissions. Overall, this is a historic farmhouse of considerable character, where tradition, generous proportions and nature exist in perfect harmony. It is an ideal property for those seeking a distinctive country residence or wishing to develop a project closely connected to the region and its heritage. Within the expansive internal courtyard, one of the property's most distinctive architectural features, several ancillary agricultural buildings complete and enrich the estate. These spaces currently include a woodshed, functional and seamlessly integrated into the existing building; spacious and easily accessible agricultural equipment storage rooms; a hayloft retaining its characteristic large openings and original ceiling heights; and an animal shelter, an authentic reminder of the farmhouse's agricultural heritage. Although these buildings retain their original functions, they offer considerable potential for restoration and conversion. They could be transformed into multifunctional spaces, workshops, hobby rooms or additional facilities serving the main residence or a potential hospitality business, subject to the relevant planning permissions. A property of timeless appeal, where Piedmontese rural heritage meets the opportunity to create an exceptional private residence or hospitality destination.
