Castello In Vendita A Carcare

About the Property

Luxurious castle between the Langhe and the sea Carcare (SV) In the refined hinterland of the province of Savona, between the Langhe and the Ligurian Riviera, stands a prestigious Art Nouveau castle of approximately 5,300 square meters, surrounded by 100 hectares of private parkland. Five levels accessible by elevator, spacious reception rooms, panoramic terraces, and a private chapel: an exceptional residence, also perfect as a venue for exclusive events for up to 500 guests. Built between 1901 and 1907, the castle bears the signature of architect Benvenuto Pesce Maineri. Originally the summer residence of the noble Musso Piantelli family, it is an Art Nouveau masterpiece, recognizable for its eclectic composition and refined color scheme inspired by the Genoan flag. Internal structure of the castle The residence is accessed through a monumental entrance hall, graced by a dramatic double staircase leading to the main floor. Here, a succession of spacious reception rooms, illuminated by large windows and finished with terrazzo and parquet floors, finely crafted period frames and fixtures, unfolds in a sequence designed to welcome and impress. The residence’s aesthetic heart is the magnificent octagonal hall, characterized by its ”wheel” floor and coffered ceiling, richly decorated with floral and geometric motifs, which preserves the Art Nouveau charm of the era. Outside, panoramic terraces, including one extending from the tower, offer expansive views of the park and the rolling hills, creating a natural extension of the reception areas. The upper levels feature ten bright bedrooms, all with high ceilings, ideal for ensuring comfort and privacy for families and guests. The property also includes service areas, utility rooms, and spaces dedicated to staff and guest quarters, rationally organized for the home’s contemporary use. The complex extends over five levels, served by an internal elevator, and presents itself as a prestigious historical setting of great value, ready to be customized and enhanced according to a contemporary project, fully respecting the original architectural identity. Other structures (farmhouses and outbuildings) In addition to the main body of the castle, the property is enriched with complementary architecture that expands its functions and charm, creating a true residential microcosm immersed in greenery. In the heart of the park, a finely decorated private chapel dedicated to St. Joseph the Groom offers a secluded and evocative space: an ideal setting for private ceremonies, moments of meditation, or high-profile symbolic events. Completing the picture, two historic farmhouses, an ancient farmhouse, and a barn, await a redevelopment project that could transform them into guest accommodations, staff quarters, or studios for creative productions. Alternatively, they could accommodate agricultural or artisanal functions, blending seamlessly with the landscape. These discreet and functional ancillary structures expand the estate’s potential uses, allowing for flexible management between hospitality, entertainment, and private living. Outdoor spaces and amenities The estate extends over 100 hectares in total, a green horizon that envelops the residence with balance and landscape breath. The meticulously landscaped English garden, spanning approximately 30 hectares, alternates tree-lined avenues, expansive lawns, and collections of ornamental trees: a succession of natural settings that enhance the castle’s views and amplify its prestigious character. Beyond the formal garden, another 70 hectares of woodland and arable land create an authentic and generous landscape, perfect for nature trails, outdoor activities, and agricultural projects of various scales. This setting also includes outdoor event areas, already organized to accommodate up to 500 people, with infrastructure suitable for high-end catering...
