For sale villa in quiet zone Murazzano Piemonte

Elegant historic residence complemented by a magnificent 2-hectare park in Piedmont's Langhe area, wonderful hills testimony to the historical tradition of Italian vinemakers.

The property is located approximately 40 kms (25 miles) from both the Italian Riviera and the ski slopes of the Maritime Alps and features a large stone villa, a natural park and a wooded area above the road which borders the estate. The house’s ancient beauty (its origins go back to the 15thcentury) is enhanced by the unique character of its surroundings: a perfectly maintained medieval village topped by its castle and church.

The main entrance hall, with columns and vaulted ceilings is dominated by the striking main stairway which leads to galleries on every floor and gives access to the manor’s two wings.

The ground floor features service rooms (boiler room, cellar etc.) a spacious tavern-like leisure room, a summer kitchen, two bathrooms, an atelier and a garage with direct access to the house.

On the main floor (noble floor), besides a guest suite with an independent entrance, we find the daytime living area of the house with 4 rooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms and a store room.

The second floor contains two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry room and a second self-contained guest apartment consisting of a sitting room, a bedroom and a bathroom.

Precious features like cotto floors, wooden ceilings, doors with compass hinges, barrel and fan vaults are all original.

The house has been comprehensively and painstakingly restored in 2000 using choice materials and appropriate building methods to maintain the manor’s original character.

The central heating consists of 28 cast iron radiators and is assisted by 3 fireplaces, one in the living room, the dining room and the tavern. All windows are made of wood and fitted with insulating double glazing.

The entrance gate, the garage gate and the outdoor lighting are remotely operated.

The completely fenced park descends all the way to a small creek and is bordered on its sides by two gravel tracks allowing direct access from several points. It is crisscrossed by pleasant walking paths with resting places with benches.
