Charming estate in the Roero region, 20 km from Alba
This exclusive estate extends across approximately 46 hectares of land and includes a lake and large buildings. Occupying a strategic, panoramic, hillside position, in the magnificent Roero region, located between the Alps, which can be seen on clear days, and the celebrated Langhe, it is less than 40 minutes from the city of Turin and close to the main transport routes.
The property, which is largely fenced off and accessible via a surfaced road, is home to a wealth of biodiversity, with arable land, numerous varieties of fruit trees, a hazelnut grove covering four hectares and a coppice, which accounts for about 60% of the surface area, and is partly populated with tall trees.
A main lake measuring approximately 8,000 square metres and a secondary lake are home to Tench, a prized and typical fish of the area, as well as a refuge and stopover for migratory birds.
The estate was previously the site of the Piedmontese Ornithological Observatory, the only fixed station in Piedmont, and visited by schoolchildren and bird lovers. There are still large exhibition halls and a projection room, along with the observatory, a small building consisting of a four-storey tower.
The estate, structurally organised as a farm, comprises spacious buildings such as the main house, built in the ‘70s and home of the current owner, the building measuring over 650 square metres, formerly used for residential purposes and for hospitality, with space for a restaurant/food production, and guest rooms, still to be completed.
Another building measuring approximately 600 square metres, adjoining the previous one, was partly used as a workshop and warehouse, for the processing of agricultural products and for the aforementioned activity related to the observatory.
Large haylofts above lend themselves to the creation of further attractive, panoramic spaces for hospitality.
A small stable and an impressive, recently built canopy made of reinforced concrete and measuring approximately 300 square metres is located separately from the main nucleus of buildings and is used to store agricultural vehicles and tools.
The buildings are in need of renovation, and the tourism and processing activity, which has been put on hold for some time for family reasons, has enormous potential for development given the location, which possess unique characteristics and is in an absolutely natural environment, ideal for the installation of StarsBOX units, the development of wellness, meditation or sporting activities, and many other uses.
The good exposure and the type of land and soils allow various livestock farming activities and the development of countless crops, beginning with medicinal herbs.
The chance to purchase this estate represents a rare opportunity beyond compare.
