Historic Castle with Expansive Grounds and Stunning Views

About the Property

A historic castle dating back to 1300, situated atop one of the Asti hills in Piedmont, Italy. The property, encompassing approximately 70,000 m², features an expansive 7,000 m² of cultivated land, including a vegetable garden and a coppice forest. The castle is located about 5 km from Villafranca d’Asti and the s.s. Asti-Turin, offering stunning views of the Alps from its terrace. The current structure reflects an 18th-century renovation of a former military construction, transforming it into a refined country residence. The ground floor, characterized by barrel vaults, comprises a central axis suitable for vehicles, lateral rooms previously used for storage, and a large cellar of approximately 250 m². The first floor features a terrace exceeding 100 m², reception rooms, a dining room, a spacious kitchen, and various bedrooms. A grand internal staircase leads to the second floor, which mirrors the first in surface area and includes additional living spaces, bedrooms, and bathrooms. The third floor accommodates several mezzanines, while the recently redone roof provides a substantial attic area for potential development. The castle is enveloped by approximately 7,000 m² of meticulously maintained grounds, which include a vegetable garden, an orchard, and a landscaped area that descends towards a former park of about 2.5 hectares, now a tree-lined lawn, alongside a steep coppice forest of approximately 2 hectares. Additionally, there is a small three-storey house that once served as the caretaker’s residence. Price: €1,800,000 including fees (paid by the seller).
