3间卧室农舍, 300 m²

卡拉曼德拉纳, Asti (省)

This old semi-detached farmhouse built in a mix of Langhe stone and bricks is located on a small quiet road between Calamandrana and Canelli. Sitting on a hillside edge, this property is nestled among lush greenery which, once trimmed, will give you stunning views towards Canelli and the glowing sunsets.

The property has recently been renovated by the current owners, who are both architects, and who have created a much more interesting interpretation of what a farmhouse renovation could look like. While the property is one unit it is currently designed and used as two semi-connected units, – the small unit for guests and the larger one for the owners.

The small unit is currently used for visiting family and friends and includes a bedroom on the ground floor and on the first floor a cosy living space, a bedroom and a modern bathroom with a large bathtub. Up another flight of stairs you are under the roof where you will find another bedroom/snug with direct access to a private roof terrace with great views.

The larger unit consists of a very spacious entrance with space both for “muddy boots” but also on a split level a cosy seating / dining area with access to a toilet.  From this practical and welcoming space, you access the modernised and very spacious kitchen with ample space for you, your friends and the entire family. From this kitchen you have direct access to the garden. Adjacent to the kitchen you have two small split level living room zones both with windows toward the garden. Should you want a very large living room these zones can be integrated with the seating area in the hall.

On the first floor of this large unit, you find two good sized bedrooms and a large bathroom with a combined shower and bathtub. In addition to this the owners have created a double height office / living space with lots of light and views over the garden. In this room the owners have chosen to expose the brick and langhe stone walls to create an interesting atmosphere. From this area you also have access to a large mezzanine level which can be used as a hide out or sleeping / play area for the younger members of the family. 

The property is filled with original features such as original floor tiles, red brick vaulted ceilings, visible wooden beams, exposed brick and fireplaces. In our view the balance between old and new have been skilfully managed giving the house a much more intimate and original feel than most of the more “standard” renovations we have seen.

The property includes 5,920 sq.mt. of land which is currently laid out as a large flat lawn and a steeper part which is currently taken up by several old trees. The flat part is ideal for constructing a swimming pool

The property is connected to communal water and the electricity grid. Central heating is via a gas boiler (GPL). As with most farmhouses, wastewater is via septic tank. Fast internet connection is already available in the property.

If you want a truly warm of cosy home filled with original features – this is it!
