Prestigious Historic Farmhouse With Inner Courtyard And Land

Nestled in the quiet of the Alessandria countryside, this early-20th-century historic farmhouse represents a rare example of Piedmontese rural architecture, carefully preserved and enhanced. The property covers a total area of approximately 520 sqm and is surrounded by 5 hectares of flat, fertile agricultural land, typical of the Alessandria plain landscape. The farmhouse follows the traditional closed-courtyard layout, once the hub of agricultural life. The large inner courtyard, spacious and harmonious, is framed by arched porticoes and rural buildings that together create a balanced architectural ensemble of strong historical character. The porticoes, with masonry pillars and exposed vaults, provide shaded and versatile spaces, ideal both for agricultural use and for convivial moments. The property has been almost completely renovated with great care, respecting local traditions and original materials. The systems have been upgraded to modern standards, ensuring contemporary living comfort without compromising the historic soul of the building. The interiors are spacious, bright, and well laid out, with high ceilings that lend openness and prestige to the rooms. The spaces retain their original rural character, reinterpreted in a functional and elegant way. The layout is suitable both for high-end private residential use and for a potential hospitality or agritourism destination. The property enjoys a private yet not isolated location, easily accessible from the main transport routes. The setting is quintessentially Piedmontese countryside: open horizons, a slow pace of life, natural light, and silence—elements that make this farmhouse a place of great charm and authenticity. On the ground floor are the areas dedicated to everyday living and entertaining, designed to welcome and enjoy the home in a spacious and functional way, without sacrificing the charm of the original layout. The entrance opens into a generously sized entrance hall, acting as a transition between the exterior and the interior spaces and immediately introducing the warm, authentic atmosphere of the residence. From here one enters a large living room, characterized by broad surfaces, significant ceiling heights, and abundant natural light—ideal for entertaining and social gatherings. Adjacent to the living room is a spacious conversation room, perfect as a relaxation or reading area, which flows harmoniously into the dining area, generous in size and well connected to the other rooms on the floor. The eat-in kitchen, large and functional, preserves the character of rural tradition while meeting the needs of contemporary living. Completing the floor are a guest bathroom and a bedroom, a particularly versatile solution, ideal as a guest room, study, or ground-floor master bedroom. An original stone staircase leads to the upper floor, entirely dedicated to the sleeping area. Here are four bedrooms, all generously sized and well lit, one of which features an en-suite bathroom. The floor is served by well-distributed hallways, ensuring smooth and functional internal circulation. A large room used as a walk-in wardrobe/changing room represents a rare added value for a historic farmhouse, offering an organized and practical space serving the sleeping area. On the second floor there is a large attic, currently in its original state and in need of renovation, representing an interesting opportunity for expansion. Overall, this is a historic farmhouse of great value, where tradition, space, and nature coexist in perfect balance—ideal for those seeking a character-filled residence or a project closely connected to the land and its history. Within the large inner courtyard, a defining feature of the property, there are several ancillary rural buildings that complete and enrich the complex. These spaces are currently used as a woodshed, functional and well integrated into the structure; storage rooms for agricultural equipment, spacious and easily accessible; a hayloft with its typical large openings and original ceiling heights; and animal shelters, an authentic testament to the farmhouse’s historic agricultural vocation. While maintaining their current use, these spaces offer significant potential for restoration and conversion, and could be transformed into multifunctional areas, workshops, hobby rooms, or additional spaces serving the main residence or a potential hospitality business.
