Country House In The Monferrato, Piedmont

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.
