Luxury Country Estate near Turin
For Sale €4.500.000 - Historic building, Land
10000 sq ft 7 Bedrooms 9 Bathrooms 6 Garages 1750 Year Built 17 acres
OVERVIEW
Villa Il Vecchio Cipresso is an historic country residence set in an elevated position among the rolling hills above Turin, which rival any Tuscan tableau.
The crowning glory of the property must be the view, the iconic peak of the Monviso in the Italian Alps, reigning over the undulating bucolic landscape.
The property was originally a gentleman’s farm with a working vineyard in the 18th century, and then became home to an important textile manufacturer for over a hundred years, before being acquired by the current owners.
Following a radical and high specification renovation less than 3 years ago, the property has been transformed into a luxurious private residence with guest house, 2 swimming pools, garaging and staff accommodation, all set within 7 hectares of land. Many of the period features have been restored to preserve the original charm and personality of the property while interiors have been re-designed into sumptuous spaces for modern living. Energy efficiency was also a top priority during the renovation, resulting in a Class A energy rating.
LOCATION
In a strategic position in northern Italy, the baroque splendour of the Piedmont capital, Turin, is only 20 minutes away by car, and the stunning Unesco wine-growing territories of the Langhe and the Monferrato are within easy reach. High speed train links connect to Milan in under an hour, and the nearby ski resorts of the Italian Alps and the beaches of the Meditteranean coast, complete a perfect lifestyle solution for both business and pleasure. Close to home, the ancient market town of Chieri, with excellent restaurants, shops and services as well as the campus of the International School of Turin (IST) are both within 5 minutes drive.
DESCRIPTION GROUNDS
The front gates open onto an ancient cypress avenue, sweeping up past an olive grove and arriving at the beautiful front facade of the property which has terraces for al-fresco dining and an elegantly designed front garden laid to lawn with secular trees and a split-level swimming pool and entertaining area.
The smaller pool offers a terrace and BBQ area while the main swimming pool and solarium on the lower level are flanked by an aromatic lavender field on one side and, to the other, a beautifully restored limonaia.
There are large lawns and fields to the side and back of the property with garaging and separate parking for guests, as well as a self-contained guesthouse that nestles by the rose garden and an all-weather basketball court for family fun.
There is garaging for 3 cars (with electrical charging stations) as well as additional storage, a technical hub, and back-up generator.
In total there are 7 hectares surrounding the property, divided between the gardens, lawns and a cultivated lavender field.
