Description

If you were asked to describe your dream home in the Langhe, you would probably say: a house with lots of "character", stone masonry, old bricks, massive wood beams, set on a gentle slope, ideally with a vineyard, with a view of the hills and the Alps, quiet and secluded but with all basic services close at hand. Unfortunately, similar dreams are nowadays bound to remain just that, suitable objects being hard to find. In the present case, the dream has materialized in a splendid estate which unites a truely unique location with an irreproachabbly tasteful renovation inspired by a passion for a harmonious lifestyle in close touch with nature. On a more prosaic note, the estate consists of a traditional, two storey "L"-shaped farmhouse, a separate outbuilding and a plot of land with a Dolcetto vineyard. The main house features: on the ground floor a live-in kitchen, a living room with fireplace, a bedroom with ensuite bath. A separate entrance leads to another room and a pleasant verandah-style summer kitchen-cum-dining area which opens onto a terrace; in the basement a brick-vaulted cellar; on the first floor 2 bedrooms, a large bathroom and a spacious living room - atelier with exposed beams and large arched windows. The outbuilding contains a guest apartment, a garage, a cellar and storage rooms. A carefully designed and maintained garden adds to the estate's charm and makes it even more enjoyable.
