Niella Belbo, Piedmont 12050

In the heart of the Langhe, in verdant and unspoilt countryside at slightly over 600 meters of altitude, a unique and exclusive estate comprising a thoroughly renovated Langhe stone country house and an enclosed park with century-old trees and a private chapel.The traditional L-shaped country house contains 4 apartments, each with either one or two bedrooms, all with a living area including a kitchen unit and a bathroom. A former stable with hayloft overlooking the same courtyard has been transformed into another self-contained unit featuring on its ground floor a daytime living area with a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, and a single large bedroom with a gallery on the upper floor with the possibility to access the rear courtyard which is on the same level. The house has been renovated recently (2009) with a fine touch and in style with top quality materials, creating a uniquely welcoming and homely atmosphere. It is not the case to enumerate details, its best to savor the atmosphere on-site. A look at the pictures that we publish will convince you that we are talking about a unique and rare property. The propertys showpiece may be represented by the private chapel which retains the right, bestowed by the local bishopric, to celebrate occasional religious ceremonies. Stained-Glass windows, wooden roof beams and a copper-clad roof give the chapel a sacral character that is not easily found in the area. The property includes a private park. For buyers interested in purchasing a larger land holding, there is the possibility to buy additional land which extends beyond the park. The property is set about 5 kms (3 miles) from the picturesque High Langhe village of Bossolasco and 30 kms (20 miles) from Alba. The location is a perfect starting point for hiking and biking excursions, besides being only an hours drive from both the ski slopes of the Maritime Alps and the beaches of the Italian Riviera. A perfect property for clients looking for a comfortable and fine holiday home in the Langhe which is also suitable as a holiday rental.
