蒙菲拉托

This partially completed stone house project is situated on the borders of Canelli and Santo Stefano Belbo, within the UNESCO World Heritage Zone. The property is located on a hillside with views of the Contini tower and Canelli. There is ample space for a swimming pool.

Here you really have the best of two worlds – a large garden with lots of mature fruit trees in a nice, secluded location - while only a few minutes’ drive from the bustling market towns of Canelli and Santo Stefano Belbo with their numerous shops, cosy cafés and great restaurants.

The construction of the stone house began a few years ago and it was intended to be the private residence of the owner of a family-run building company. Due to unforeseen health issues, they decided that they would not be able to live in the house and have chosen to sell it.

In its current state the main structure such as foundations, outer walls in brick and lange stone, roof, wrap around terraces and some initial plumbing and electricity work has been completed. Still remaining is cladding part of the outer walls with lange stone, fitting of windows and doors, balconies, bathrooms, kitchen and flooring. In essence all the expensive, time consuming and complicated work has been completed, and it is now up to you and your family to design and complete the interior to your requirements and taste.

The building is laid out with a large basement and with a ground and first floor. In its current design it offers two bedrooms and a compact kitchen and living room. However, as an “enlarged” option, it is straight forward to extend the current footprint of the property and create a much larger kitchen and living room as well as three bedrooms.  
At basement level you will find a very large L shaped garage followed by what was intended as a workshop. In addition, you will find a two large storage rooms as well as a good-sized toilet.

The ground floor level was initially anticipated to be a good-sized bathroom plus a small compact kitchen and a compact living room with a fireplace. In our view a better solution would be to combine the two rooms and create a larger combined kitchen living room which would then have direct access to the large wrap around terrace. Should you opt for the “enlarged” option there would ample space in your kitchen/dining/living room for also your extended family.

At first floor level you find two good sized light and airy bedrooms with access to their individual balconies. Also, on the first floor you find what was intended to be a larger than normal bathroom with enough space for both a shower and a bathtub if required. Again, should you opt for the “enlarged” option you will have no less than 3 large and airy bedrooms.

If you decide to use your own builder, the owner will provide all drawings, documentation, and communications related to the project. However, it may be more efficient to buy the property as a turnkey solution from the current owner/builder, making only necessary adjustments to create your dream home. This approach will minimize changes to existing building permissions.

We have discussed cost associated with completing the project with both the owner and Geometra. Indicative cost suggests it would be possible to complete the current (2 bedroom) design for app. Euro 150,000 while completing the building in the “enlarged” (3 bedroom) design will require closer to app. Euro 200,000. However, lets discuss this once you have seen the property.

The property currently has communal water and electricity connected. Future heating was expected to be via a GPL gas boiler but could also be via a mix of solar panels and a heat pump. Drainage is as always via a septic tank. Fast internet is available in the area.
