In the frazione of Piacentini just outside Santo Stefano Belbo – and in the UNESCO World Heritage Zone – we are pleased to offer for sale this villa and farmhouse project in an absolute stunning location. The property is located at the end of a communal asphalt road which gives you total privacy and yet super easy access.

The property is in an elevated position with majestic views and space for a swimming pool. Here you really have the best of two worlds – peace and quiet while only a few minutes’ drive away from the bustling market town of Santo Stefano Belbo with its weekly markets, a good variety of shops and several cosy café and great restaurant serving classic Piemontese food.

The property itself consists of two buildings: a 1960 style villa and a century old Langhe stone house which is best described as a ruin.

The villa is laid out over 2 floors and consists of a lower ground floor with two enormous storage rooms which with some creative work could be converted into living areas and direct access to the front garden. On the first floor one finds a large, bright entrance hall, 4 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and a living room with direct access to a good-sized balcony from which you have the most fantastic views of the Alps.

The stone house, now a ruin, originally also consisted of two floors with an underlying basement with a variety of rooms and small side buildings. This building needs complete renovation – of course reusing the old wooden beams and stones – but once ready it will be an absolutely stunning property in a highly desirable area and with one of the most stunning views we have seen in a long time.

In our view it could be an option to demolish both buildings and start afresh with what could be a stunning stone Cascina in an exceptional location. We have access to reliable advisors and builders who would be able to support you through the entire planning and building process.

The property currently has communal water and electricity connected. Future heating is expected to be a mix of solar panels and a heat pump supplemented by a gas boiler. Drainage is as always with these old farmhouses via a septic tank.
