Stunning Period Residence in Santo Stefano Belbo
In a highly central and strategic location in the municipality of Santo Stefano Belbo, a historic town renowned for its art, culture, winemaking tradition, and enchanting landscapes of rolling hills and vineyards in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Langhe region, we offer for sale a charming period residence of great character and artistic value. This exclusive and perfectly preserved property is arranged over two above-ground floors, each exceeding 200 sqm and dedicated to the main living quarters, in addition to a basement level and an attic floor of similar size. From the beautiful and impressive entrance hall, we access the grand living room and the spacious bedrooms, each distinguished by precious original frescoes and flooring in marble mosaic, fine cement tiles, or terracotta, found on both the raised ground floor and the upper floor, which are connected by a comfortable stone staircase.
Descending to the basement level, we find generous and beautiful spaces featuring stone structures with barrel vaults and characteristic lunettes housing light openings—areas not solely intended for use as a cellar, but versatile and multifunctional.
The attic floor, with its generous ceiling heights and illuminated in every room by dormer windows or light openings, was once designated for servants’ quarters or storage rooms and offers excellent potential for a thoughtful restoration.
This prestigious residence is set within a fully fenced plot of over 2,200 sqm, partly landscaped as a garden with ornamental trees and partly used as a vegetable garden and lawn. Within this area, in a more secluded position, stands a second building comprising a semi-basement level, ground floor, and first floor, totaling over 500 sqm, including a portico and an overlying hayloft with an attractive architectural façade and exposed brick arches. Originally, this structure included stables, storage and processing areas for agricultural products, as well as accommodation for sharecroppers, as the estate was once part of extensive landholdings. Its renovation could serve as an annex to the main residence, creating a charming winter garden, a distinctive studio, an inspiring atelier, wellness and fitness areas, or alternatively a completely independent property. This real estate offering represents a rare investment opportunity, combining the splendid historic setting of the region with versatile spaces rich in potential—ideal as a guesthouse, Bed & Breakfast, or representative headquarters for a prestigious winery.
