Quargnento, Alessandria, Piedmont, Italy

A renovated former farmhouse, bright, immersed in the tranquillity of the Monferrato hills and equipped with cutting-edge technology that promotes high energy efficiency so as to reduce annual running costs'. These were the main features the current owners wanted when they decided to buy their dream home in Monferrato, and which they found in this renovated farmhouse. Indeed, upon arriving at the property, one immediately has a feeling of peace and tranquillity. The view of the beautiful surrounding hills confirms this feeling. The external appearance of the property is that of the typical farmhouses of this area of the Monferrato, with exposed bricks on the façade. The typical characteristics continue inside, with the vaulted ceilings on rails well in evidence. Although the appearance of the house has retained many of the original features of the farmstead, in reality we are in the presence of a property with state-of-the-art installations in energy class A+, equipped with the most modern technologies for maximum comfort and savings: photovoltaic system, underfloor heating powered by an LPG or pellet boiler, high-efficiency double-glazed windows, a home automation system that allows the control of internal and external lighting, sound diffusion, shutter motorisation and heating regulation, a perimeter and volumetric security system with video surveillance cameras equipped with monitors and remote access, a ducted extraction system and two fireplaces, one of which is pellet-fired, ducted to the upper floor. These are just some of the technical features present. The house is on two floors: The ground floor with the entrance, the former stable, now a large and very bright living room, the dining room adjacent to the kitchen with island, a bathroom, the laundry and the technical room. On the first floor there are two large bedrooms both with walk-in wardrobes, two bathrooms and a third bedroom now used as a study. Enchanting views are enjoyed from the two large covered terraces accessible from the bedrooms. A garage for two cars, a large porch near the barbecue area and the garden of about 2500sqm where the swimming pool can be placed, complete the property.
