For sale cottage in quiet zone Bubbio Piemonte

A substantial estate from the early 1900’s with a lot of period charm, built of traditional Langhe stone, set in the village of Bubbio and comprising 1.3 hectares of land.

Bubbio is a village in Piemont, located on the border between the Langhe of Asti and the Monferrato, at a distance of about 10 kms from Canelli, 15 kms from Acqui Terme and 18 kms from Nizza Monferrato.

The estate is made up of several distinct sections with different use. The habitable section contains seven apartments of different size, some of which have been refurbished recently, whilst all are in good and habitable condition. The house is built in the Art Nouveau style typical of the early 20thcentury. Its bourgeois origin is clearly noticeable while a number of its architectural and decorative features are of unquestionable artistic value.

The agricultural section is made up of store rooms, garages and deposits for agricultural equipment.

One wing of the building and part of its cellars have been transformed into a workshop for the production and maturing of the Robiola of Roccaverano cheese, a prized local specialty, the village of Bubbio lying in its production area. The rooms used for the maturing of the product are particularly distinctive and have been equipped with a moisture and temperature control system.

Still another section of the property houses a vinegar producing plant but can be turned to other uses if desired. The entire property’s floorspace measures approximately 1700 sq meters. The buildings do not require immediate repairs or renovation and are ready to be inhabited and used.

The property is rounded off by a single 1.3-hectare (3.2 acre) parcel of plough land.

The property’s price is a true bargain considering its size and the quality of the buildings. The property is suitable for different uses ranging from a hospitality business to a food production facility that builds upon the area’s longstanding tradition of producing high quality foodstuffs.
