Situated in a prime, peaceful location within the core UNESCO World Heritage zone, this exceptional country house offers a perfect blend of northern minimalism and Italian charm. Over the last four years, the current owners have meticulously transformed a traditional Piemontese villa into a stylish, energy-efficient, Scandinavian-inspired retreat. Featuring clean lines, expansive windows, and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, the property captures breathtaking 270-degree views of rolling vineyards and snowcapped mountains.

The property spans three floors, boasting high-end finishes such as underfloor heating, energy-efficient white PVC windows, low-maintenance olive green shutters, and uniform cream-coloured ceramic tiling that extends to the outdoor terraces.

Ground Floor (The Central Hub): A vast, light-filled open-plan space divided into three distinct zones.

Living Area: Elevated by a single step, creating a cozy enclave perfect for movies, reading, or relaxing. A Dining Area: Centrally positioned, featuring a large custom-made wooden table that comfortably seats over ten guests. A Kitchen: A beautifully designed horseshoe-shaped kitchen in a bold olive green that mirrors the neighbouring estate’s olive trees—ideal for socializing while cooking. This area also includes a modern bathroom, a storage room, and a spacious, easily accessible technical room.

On the first floor you find the Sleeping Quarters consisting of: Four spacious bedrooms (one currently configured with two double beds). Two of the bedrooms open directly onto a massive, south-facing shared terrace with ample room for sun loungers, dining sets, and a BBQ. The remaining two bedrooms enjoy their own private balconies. On this floor you also find two modern bathrooms: one en-suite with a shower and bathtub, and a second shared bathroom equipped with a double sink and a large shower.

On the second floor you have the possibility to expand the property to your liking. This area is currently unrenovated but fully prepped with water, electricity, and heating installations. This offers ample space under charming sloping roofs to easily create an additional two bedrooms, a games room, or a private gym, alongside an existing bathroom ready for modernization.

Designed to embrace the extended Italian summer, the exterior seamlessly mirrors the elegance of the interior. The Swimming Pool is a spectacular 4.8 x 12-meter pool (depths from 1.2m to 2.0m) serving as the crown jewel of the garden. It offers complete privacy and panoramic views of hilltop villages and mountains. The large Terraces with unlimited views and full privacy is the perfect space to relax with family and friends or perhaps play a game of Bocce (Pétanque) in your private court.

The property is nestled behind automatic security gates with parking for two cars (7kW charging station for electric vehicles) at the end of a private/communal road, ensuring ultimate privacy.

While offering total privacy and tranquillity, the villa is exceptionally well-connected. It sits just a short drive from the highly sought-after market towns of Nizza Monferrato, Santo Stefano Belbo, and Canelli, offering world-class wine, dining, and shopping right at your doorstep.

The house is connected to communal electricity and water. Drainage is as always with these farmhouses via a septic tank. Heating is via 3 different systems to minimise cost and carbon footprint: 1) a 10kW / three phased photovoltaic system connected to 4 batteries each with a 3,20 kW capacity 2) a hot water solar panel system connected to a hot water tank plus 3) a new gas boiler (GPL). This combination of heat sources is ideal for the large underfloor heating system.
