The historical character of the building is enhanced by the external façade in plaster and stone and the medallion with effigy set at the entrance and overlooking the entire property thanks to a large garden with pergola. The main farmhouse is ready to move in, with well-maintained finishing and with features of the typical noble country houses of the Basso Monferrato. At ground floor we find a kitchen with dining room, sitting room and master living room with antique fireplace, cellar with woodshed and toilet. On the first floor, reachable through internal double staircase with vaults, we have 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The second floor is an attic with granary and has lower windows. From here and from the bow-window in the mezzanine floor (used as bathroom) we can enjoy marvellous view of the surrounding countryside.

The buildings are located on the top of a private hill. Possibility to purchase additional land of about 15 Ha.

State of repair
Outside, the main building has preserved the traditional features of the antique country houses, with red brick masonry and plastered stone inserts, wooden windows, covering with tiles. The farmhouse needs some internal restoration and conservative renewal works. It boasts cotto tiles or single-fired light coloured tiles pavements; the bathrooms, the kitchens and the kitchenettes need interventions too, as well as the bedrooms. The windows, with shutters, are in wood. The guesthouse, instead, is in good conditions, being it restored in the '90s.
