Agritouristic Property For Sale In Roero Area

In the hills of the Roero, at a distance of just 12 kms (less than 8 miles) from the area’s main town of Alba, we offer for sale a comprehensively restored agritouristic property comprising 5.2 hectares (almost 13 acres) of land, 2 restaurants and 4 Bed&Breakfast guestrooms, all with enchanting views onto the hills, the vineyards and the Savoy Castle of “Bela Rosin”, the wife of Vittorio Emanuele II, united Italy’s first king.
Set in a private, tranquil location, the “agriturismo” is housed in a traditional “L”-shaped Piemontese farmhouse.
One of the house’s wings contains on its ground floor the restaurant kitchen and the master apartment consisting of a living room with a fireplace, 2 bedrooms and two bathrooms. The first floor features 4 guest rooms, each with its private bath.
The second wing of the house contains the restaurant dining hall with a video system, a bar counter, a sitting lounge and guest restrooms.
A 20 kW solar system is installed on the roof.
The heating is powered by two boilers, one using liquid gas, one using pellets or similar organic combustible.
Additional 100 sq meters of floorspace are available to be developed on the first floor.
An outbuilding set close to the pool and the playground houses the second dining hall with its kitchen, pantry and restrooms.
The property furthermore includes an inground storage room of about 300 sq meters for agricultural tools and machinery.
The farm is dedicated mostly to growing vegetables with 3 of the 5.2 hectares being used for this purpose. The presence on the grounds of an aquaponic greenhouse for growing lettuce is worth mentioning. Combining traditional aquaculture and hydroponics, aquaponics is considered a particularly sustainable agricultural technique. The farm includes a horse stable and raises goats and donkeys.
Both the agricultural and the hospitality division of the agritourism are in good shape and represent a good opportunity to acquire and operate an up and running, profitable business. Further growth of the business to take avantage of the area’s increasing number of visitors from around the world is a tangible possibility. The proximity to Alba (12 kms), Bra (10 kms) and Turin (44 kms) as well as to the seaside of Liguria (68 kms) testifies to the merits of the property’s location which can attract in equal measure foreign travelers and excursionists from the Turin metropolitan area.
