In the heart of the Monferrato, between rolling hills, vineyards and ancient villages, we offer for sale an historic country property located in the historic town of Montegrosso d'Asti, a nominated UNESCO World Heritage site.
The carefully renovated 18th century L-shaped farmhouse wraps around a large sunny courtyard and is packed with charming original features. It is surrounded by a beautiful mature garden as well as benefiting from 1.3 hectares of adjoining land, some of which could re-purposed as vineyard.
This property is a wonderful residence in the Piedmont wine country with easy access to Turin, Milan, the Italian Alps and the Mediterranean coast.
