strada Borgomale, 20, Asti, Piedmont 14100

Unique in this region, we present a historic property on the hills of Monferrato, renovated by two international artists and designers. This property is characterized by a contemporary identity, within a traditional context.A few minutes from the historic center of Asti, with excellent connections, but immersed in the serenity and green spaces of a valley constrained from a landscape point of view. The privacy of this location is further enhanced by the 7 hectares of land surrounding the building on all four sides. The elevated position of the house on the hill, with southern exposure, offers a generous panoramic view.Position:The city of Asti is located in the middle of Piedmont's incredible wine regions, between the hills of Monferrato to the north and Roero, Barolo and Barbaresco to the southwest. A short distance away is also the beautiful landscape of the Langhe, an internationally famous Unesco region.The elegant city of Turin is easily accessible by car in 45 minutes.The house:Extensive restoration and renovation work has been undertaken with the primary intent of maintaining the quality and original materials of the building where possible, and thus preserving the charm and intrinsic character of such an ancient building.The new works included a total upgrade of all plumbing and electrical systems. The house's heating system is managed by a pellet boiler and solar panels. Double glazing is present throughout the house and the roof is insulated.The handcrafted details and the careful research of furnishings and finishes extend to the custom-made lighting systems, the porphyry kitchen worktops, the antique marble bathroom sinks, the recycled larch wood cabinets and the design doors. The exterior sculptural elements, the artist's work, include a unique steel fence and entrance gate, a dining table and barbecue, and two prototypes of sculptural forms that fit into the private landscape. The set of custom-made furnishings and sculptures can be included in the sale for the cost of 85, 000.The spacious residential main house, of approximately 420 sqm on three floors, is currently equipped with two entrances at different levels, one from the ground floor and the other from a secluded garden area on the first floor, which leads directly to a large kitchen and dining room with adjoining kitchenette.

This area includes a large vaulted hall with five more rooms.
