Historic Farmhouse In The Heart Of The Monferrato Unesco World Heritage Site

Nestled among the rolling hills of Monferrato — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — in the locality of Santa Maria di Moncalvo, this enchanting historic farmhouse stands as a timeless testament to the history and traditions of the region. The result of a meticulous restoration, the property has preserved and enhanced its original character, restoring full dignity to its authentic features: antique terracotta floors, exposed brick ceilings, and frescoed vaults that adorn the main rooms, infusing every space with warmth and elegance. The main residence is arranged over four levels — one basement and three above ground. On the lower floor, the former cellar, with its majestic brick barrel vault, has been transformed into an evocative tasting room, perfect for welcoming friends and guests in an authentic, convivial atmosphere. The ground floor forms the heart of the home: a frescoed living room with a period fireplace and original tiled flooring, adjoining a bright kitchen and a spacious dining room with terracotta floors and vaulted ceilings. A guest bathroom, laundry room, and practical pantry complete this level. Ascending the central Luserna stone staircase, one reaches the upper floors, organized symmetrically with two bedrooms per floor — one with an en suite bathroom — along with additional bathrooms. In the lateral wing, once used as a barn, a rustic yet elegant living area now comes to life, featuring exposed wooden beams, a kitchen with fireplace and oven, and a comfortable guest bathroom. Thanks to its generous size and independent access, this space is ideal as a charming annex or guest accommodation. Adjacent to the main house stands a second building, arranged on two levels: on the ground floor, a paved garage and a canopy currently used as a car shelter, easily convertible into a covered patio; on the upper floor, a welcoming living area with open kitchen, open-plan bedroom, and bathroom. This unit is fully independent, with its own utilities and heating provided by Swedish convector heaters.
