Green-Acres Property Listing - Italy
Property Details: Rooms: 7 Bedrooms: 2 Price: 21,670,820 EUR
Agency: Piedmont Group realestate
Description: In the heart of Canelli’s historic district, in a elevated and panoramic position, we propose a home with a decidedly original character, nestled among the ancient lanes of the borgo and overlooking the city and surrounding hills. The property unfolds over multiple levels and blends elements of Piedmontese tradition with more contemporary interventions. The façade with vivid tones, stone and brick walls, wooden beams and some interior architectural details contribute to creating a residence out of the ordinary, particularly suitable for those seeking something different from the classic country house.
One of the most interesting elements is the location. From the openings and the upper part of the house there is a wide view over Canelli and the hilly landscape, with a perspective that embraces the inhabited center and the Monferrato hills.
The interiors are arranged vertically and connected by a distinctive spiral staircase, which becomes one of the defining features of the dwelling. The different levels host the living area, the kitchen, the bedrooms and the bathrooms, with spaces featuring parquet floors, wooden ceilings and numerous openings that ensure natural light.
The upper part of the house presents one of the most evocative spaces: a bright area with wide glass surfaces facing the panorama, ideal as a relaxation zone, study or small panoramic lounge.
The bedrooms maintain a simple and welcoming layout, some with exposed wooden ceilings, integrated wardrobes and parquet floors. Several bathrooms with showers are also present.
Particularly fascinating is the lower area of the property, where the house directly engages with the borgo’s original structure. Through a large stone arch there is access to a space dug into the rock and historical masonry, today organized as a relaxation area. An unusual environment, almost a small private cave, likely the most distinctive element of the entire property.
Completing the house are several decorative details, including a special artistic window with colored glass, exposed masonry and chromatic contrasts that give the interiors a strong personality.
The property represents an interesting solution both as a main residence or second home in Piedmont, and as a property to enhance for tourist stays, thanks to its location in Canelli’s historic center, panoramic views and highly distinctive space distribution.
