It’s an important complex, founded on an old convent, which later became a noble residence and exudes extraordinary charm. The building is located on a rise on the outskirts of a small village and consists of the stately home and the rustic annex. The enchanting location gives the property a wonderful view of the valley below. The manor house dates back to the 17th century and still preserves part of the structures of the pre-existing convent, such as the cloister and various interior rooms. The total living area is about 1000 sqm on two floors plus about 150 sqm of cellars with old brick vaults. There is also a further rustic building of approximately 400 square metres that constituted the agricultural part of the property. The noble building overlooks the exclusively owned garden. On the ground and first floor, large halls with frescoed vaults denote the noble origin of the building. More recent building interventions have not compromised the original structure, which can be restored to its ancient splendour. The cellars are fascinating, with vaults made of old bricks and partly excavated in tuff. The rustico, adjoining the manor house but with a large independent courtyard, was once used by the staff who managed the land owned by the nobles and includes the stable, porches and other service rooms. The buildings are in need of comprehensive renovation. At present, the complex has about three hectares of land that include the wooded park and the inner garden separated from the road by an old brick wall. The building complex offers significant space, so it lends itself to multiple uses: it is plausible to renovate it entirely, transforming it into a resort, enhancing the cloisters, gallery and lounges and creating rooms in the other interior spaces. The cellars can be converted into a spa/wellness centre. The buildings are south-facing, with the land sloping down towards the valley in front, so it is possible to create a panoramic infinity pool.
SITEThe property is located in a quiet position with no passing easement and no busy roads in the immediate vicinity. It is located in Oviglio, a small village about ten kilometres from Alessandria and less than ten minutes from the A21 and A26 motorways, which make it possible to reach the airports of Turin and Genoa in about an hour and Milan in just over an hour. The village is located in the middle between the area of the Spumante di Asti vineyards of Barbera di Nizza and the area of the Monferrato vineyards of Infernot. It is also located in the border area between the Basso Monferrato area towards the Po river and the Alto Monferrato area towards the Ligurian Apennines. Heading towards Casale Monferrato, a culturally important town, one encounters various characteristic villages of the Basso Monferrato, such as nearby Vignale, where a significant dance festival is organised every year. On the opposite side, on the other hand, you reach historic villages such as Cassine and then Acqui Terme, which represents an evocative mix of wellness and history that can be perceived while walking through its pretty streets and participating in the numerous theatrical or musical events. In addition to the vitality of the area, we would also point out that it is a town with a post office, bank, pharmacy, doctor's surgery, grocery shops, veterinary shop, bar, restaurant, kindergarten and primary school. Secondary schools are just a ten-minute drive away in Felizzano, and nearby Alessandria offers good choice of high schools and universities.
