Description

Noble master portion of an ancient castle, set in a dominant position with breathtaking 360-degree views—from the Biella Alps to Monviso, from the Baraggia to the rolling hills and plains of the Novara region. This prestigious property, dating back to medieval times, is part of a skillfully restored hamlet that retains its full historic charm.

Currently, the property is only partially inhabited, with the ground floor in use. The remaining areas—featuring centuries-old, perfectly preserved frescoed ceilings—include grand halls and salons with historic fireplaces and period furnishings that enhance the building’s noble character. The inhabited area features the oldest fireplace in the castle, set in an elegant room. Also on this level are a cozy living room, a dining room with direct access to a spectacular 360 sqm panoramic terrace, and a functional kitchen.

A monumental staircase leads to the first floor, entirely dedicated to the sleeping quarters. The architecture here is equally refined, with many rooms boasting frescoed ceilings and original parquet flooring in excellent condition. The southwest-facing rooms open onto a long balcony that stretches across the façade, filling the interiors with light and stunning views. The smaller second floor provides access to the charming turret via a convenient staircase and includes additional rooms and facilities.

While parts of the property retain their extraordinary noble charm, a full renovation is required. Systems, fixtures, and bathrooms must be updated, while the roof and some floors need complete reconstruction.

The location is strategic: the Castle of Valdengo lies just 100 km from Milan, 82 km from Turin, and 96 km from Malpensa International Airport. France and Switzerland are reachable in about two hours. The area is ideal for nature and sports enthusiasts: Lake Viverone offers water-skiing and wakeboarding, while trekking and mountain biking can be enjoyed in the Burcina Park, the Zegna Oasis, and along the Serra ridge. A rich food and wine tradition also awaits, with local wines and regional specialties to be discovered.
