Villa 4 sovrum, 500 m²

Incisa Scapaccino, Asti (provins)

This remarkable 17th century residence, built on mediaeval foundations, is for sale in a magnificent panoramic location in the sought-after "Borgo Villa" neighbourhood.

The property is in overall good structural condition but requires renovation to restore it to its full potential.

Surrounded by a private garden enclosed by a high perimeter wall (partially in need of renovation), this property offers a unique blend of history and character.

Originally it probably served as a guardhouse in defence of the adjacent mediaeval gate. The house is set over three floors and includes a detached building currently used as a garage and store room.

The main house has several entrances: two pedestrian entrances from the street, a courtyard entrance and a practical driveway gate.

Ground floor:
The elegant loggia leads to a spacious entrance hall, a staircase and four generous rooms with original 3.3metre high ceilings — some with vaulted ceilings, others with exposed wooden beams. A hallway leads to a staircase that descends to the semi-basement (partly above ground on the east side), where there is a wine cellar and two storage rooms with separate access to the street.

Upper floor:
The living areas are accessed via a large enclosed loggia and include three bedrooms, a dining room, a kitchen and three bathrooms.

Top floor:
An additional room and access to a magnificent panoramic terrace complete the upper floor.

The roofs are in good condition and the structure is solid. The interior fittings and utility systems require renovation. The perimeter wall needs to be partially renewed —the application to authority  for the restoration is currently being examined for approval

A must-see property!
Ideal as an elegant private residence or as a boutique holiday business.
