Cosy cottage in quiet area; Rocchetta Palafea
Property Ref: HIP197CP
Price: €275.000
This absolutely cosy and romantic cottage style property is located in a quiet location surrounded by a small and easy to maintain garden – all nestled among vineyards and small groups of trees! And yet, you are in an area very close to the very best restaurants and wine bars this lovely corner of Piemonte has to offer. With lots of privacy this is the perfect place to wind down from the crazy world of today.
The house itself is ready to move into with new windows, electricity, plumbing. Generally, the house is very well maintained and built in traditional stone and full of character, as it preserves the authentic soul of rural Monferrato while offering bright, welcoming spaces ready to become your dream home.
The property is over 2 storeys plus a basement. On the lower level, a traditional stone cellar — cool, atmospheric, and perfect for storing your Barbera wines.
On the ground floor you find a nice entrance, a bright and generous bedroom on the left, with direct access to the garden. This room was once the old kitchen, and the original plumbing and gas connections remain in place, offering flexibility for future use. To the right, a warm living and dining room with beautiful original floortiles and a wood-burning stove creates an inviting heart of the home — a space made for long dinners and winter evenings by the fire. Beyond the living room you find a practical laundry room and an adjacent service bathroom with a small shower.
At the rear of the house you then have a breathtaking covered terrace with wooden floors and ceilings. Fully enclosed by windows and overlooking the garden, this extraordinary space is currently used as both a living area and kitchen. Bathed in natural light and open to the surrounding landscape, it feels suspended between indoors and outdoors — a place to gather, to cook, to dream.
On the first Floor a hallway leading to three bedrooms and a bathroom. From the hallway there is access to a panoramic terrace that frames the rolling hills beyond. The two bedrooms sit on either side of this terrace, while – what was once a storage room – has been thoughtfully transformed into a third bedroom.
The property is connected to communal water, gas (Metano) and electricity. As with most farmhouses wastewater will be via a septic tank. Fast internet connection is already available in the area.
This truly is a cosy home with a big heart and ideal base for exploring the very best food, wine, nature and friendships which are all key elements of this little corner of Piemonte.
