Castle Near Monferrato Area Biella

About the Property

13th-Century Castle Complex in Northern Italy. Set within approximately 30.000 sqm of landscaped parkland, this remarkable 13th-century castle complex enjoys an ideal position for those seeking both privacy and accessibility. The property lies just one hour from Milan Malpensa and Turin Caselle international airports, five minutes from a civil airport (ICAO 3C), and only a few minutes from the motorway network connecting the main cities, Lake Maggiore, Monferrato, the French Riviera, and Switzerland. For golf enthusiasts, the prestigious “Le Betulle” Golf Club—designed by architect John Morrison and ranked among the best courses in the world—is only 14 km away. The estate comprises two independent castles connected to a fortified tower, forming a unique historic ensemble. The first castle, approximately 1.000 sqm, has been fully restored and serves as the main residence. It features a refined layout with grand reception rooms, master and guest suites, and service areas. The interiors showcase seventeenth-century frescoes over some 670 sqm, vaulted ceilings, family coats of arms, and other architectural details of great historical and artistic value. Within the grounds there is also independent caretaker accommodation and an additional 100-sqm outbuilding awaiting restoration. At the heart of the estate stands an imposing fortified tower of about 160 sqm., partially restored and dating back to 1170. The second castle, adjacent to the tower and including former stables, barns, sheds, and other period structures, extends to over 2.800 sqm and awaits complete restoration—offering immense potential for expansion or redevelopment. The property’s extensive parkland guarantees total privacy and seclusion, while its northeastern grounds are spacious enough to accommodate helicopter take-off and landing. Given the scale and configuration of the estate—with multiple independent entrances and flexible volumes—the property may also be sold in two separate lots, providing exceptional versatility for private or investment purposes. This rare and historically rich estate offers endless opportunities: a distinguished private residence, a boutique hotel, or an exclusive event venue—all within easy reach of Northern Italy’s most desirable destinations. Only a few parts of the complex are under the protection of the Superintendence of Fine Arts, ensuring freedom for redevelopment across much of the estate.
