Excellent 4 Bed House for Sale In Valduggia Vercelli Italy Esales Property ID: es5555021 Località Lebbia n.47 Valduggia Vercelli 13018 Italy Historic 18th-Century Valsesian Cloister House in Valduggia, Italy Discover a rare architectural jewel nestled within the Monte Fenera Natural Park, a pristine landscape integrated into the UNESCO-recognized Sesia Val Grande Global Geopark. This 18th-century residence is a particularly notable example of traditional cloister-style Valsesian architecture. It is distinguished by its authentic stone arches on both the lower and upper floors-a rare feature, as most local homes only feature them on a single level. This architectural significance is so profound that the home is featured in the prestigious digest 'Ancient Houses from Valsesia' by architect Comoli Mandracci. Architectural Authenticity & Layout Spanning a generous 283 m2, the main residence is arranged over two floors around a private, sun-drenched inner courtyard. This is a home of manageable proportions that retains its soulful, period integrity, making it the perfect candidate for a sensitive restoration. The current layout includes: * Living Quarters: Four spacious bedrooms and three reception rooms bathed in natural light. The home currently features 1.5 bathrooms. * Heritage Features: A traditional kitchen featuring its original wood-fired bread oven, solid wood plank flooring, exposed timber beam ceilings, and original timber-framed windows. * The Vaults: Extensive, dry, brick-vaulted cellars offer an incredible foundation for a private wine cellar, a rustic 'taverna,' or a bespoke home cinema. * Expansion Potential: A former hayloft and a full-sized attic space are primed for conversion into additional living or creative areas. Private Grounds and 'Al Fresco' Living The property sits on a total plot of approximately 360 m2, which encompasses the house, a charming pleasure garden, and a larger orchard. The outdoor spaces are a true highlight, offering: * Two Columned Patios: The first-floor gallery provides a front-row seat to spectacular Italian sunsets over the hills. * Leisure Potential: Ample scope exists to install a swimming pool within the orchard or to create a dedicated spa sanctuary within the adjoining rustic structures (subject to planning). * Garages: One or two double garages are available via separate negotiation (approx. 6,000 each). A Lifestyle of Culture and Nature Valduggia is the birthplace of the Renaissance master Gaudenzio Ferrari, and that creative spirit lingers in this laid-back village. Here, you can enjoy a slow-paced life supported by local amenities and vibrant gastronomic festivals. For the active soul, numerous hiking trails start right at your doorstep, while the crystalline waters of Lakes Orta and Maggiore are just a short drive away. For a change of pace, the Ligurian Sea is less than two hours away via motorway. Investment & Opportunity Offered at an asking price in the region of 130,000, this property represents exceptional value for a historic home of this caliber. This is an unfurnished residence awaiting a new chapter. Note on Expansion: The neighboring house within the same courtyard will also be available for sale shortly. Unlike the primary historic residence, that property is already double-glazed and features a dual gas and wood-burning central heating system, along with a fabulous 50 m2 terrace. Together, these two properties offer a unique opportunity to create a multi-generational family estate or a boutique hospitality business. Whether you are looking for a rewarding restoration project or a peaceful retreat in one of Italy's most geologically significant regions, this Valduggia home is a sanctuary where history and nature converge.
