Cortemilia, one of the main centers of the Langhe, has always been considered the "Hazelnut Capital," the nut for which it has gained great fame throughout the world. The core of the town consists of medieval houses full of arcades and the Bormida River divides the town into two districts.
The landscape around Cortemilia is characterized by the typical "terraces," a solution used by man in recent centuries to make the steep hills surrounding the town arable. These strips of land are leveled by reclaimed 'langa' stone walls, an important testimony to the ingenuity and wisdom of ancient societies.
Just above the promontory of Monteoliveto, an Ecomuseum for the preservation of traditional knowledge and biodiversity, home of the Slow Food Presidium "Dolcetto dei Terrazzamenti", we propose this beautiful detached house with more than 1 ha of land.
The house is accessed by a private road.
On the first floor there is an entrance, dining room with kitchenette, living room with fireplace, bathroom, bedroom and a beautiful terrace from which you can enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding hills and the city.
On the second floor there are two more bedrooms and a bathroom.
Of particular note is the beautiful Florentine terracotta floor throughout the living area.
Moreover, in the basement there is a garage, a heating system and a storage room.
The property is in excellent structural condition and thanks to a cavity and the fact that it is elevated, it is healthy and free of moisture.
The property is very interesting both for those who want to occupy it as a first home and for those who want to use it as a vacation home in the Langhe.
