Monesiglio
Piemonte
A stone's throw from the historic centre of Monesiglio, a charming Piedmontese village on the banks of the river Bormida, stands this majestic 19th-century villa, set in an environment of absolute tranquillity and natural beauty.
Once a stately home, today it represents a rare opportunity to restore and enhance an authentic piece of 19th-century history and architecture. The property is accessed via a private driveway that leads you almost tiptoeing into an ambience that has stood the test of time.
The first striking element is the round crenellated tower that stands next to the main building like a sentinel from the past. The tower, with its decorated terracotta frame and the patina of time staining the walls, is a rare example of late 19th-century romantic architecture. Inside, the old bathrooms are still there, a testament to the aristocratic taste and comfort of the time.
The villa has original frescoes on the vaulted ceilings, old terracotta and cement floors and large fireplaces, all telling the story of a stay in the past.
Ground floor: an entrance hall with an exposed stone wall leads to a path of period rooms, including the charming music room, which opens onto the back garden. The floor is completed by a cosy living room with fireplace, a master bedroom, a second bedroom and the charming historic kitchen with authentic period elements and the bathroom inherent to the context of the tower
Upper floor: accessible via an internal stone staircase, this floor houses further bedrooms, a bathroom in the tower, the hunting room and areas for servants, including a kitchen and a private room. There is also access to the attic spaces
Basement: large areas with a woodshed and original brick cellars, ideal for wine production and an infernotto for wine storage.
The villa is set in the middle of more than 2 hectares of private land, once cultivated with vineyards. Today, they are covered with natural woods, but could easily be converted to viticulture, thanks to the favourable location and the growing demand for Alta Langa DOCG.
The structure is in good general condition, with periodic maintenance to the roof that has maintained its integrity. However, it deserves careful restoration that will enhance its historical and architectural value and transform it into an exclusive residence, a charming home or prestigious accommodation.
