Cascina Cane
Originally a farmhouse dating back to the 18th century, it was bought by its present owners in 2003 and meticulously restored to luxurious comfort while maintaining the antique details typical of the Lombardy region, including exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings, stone staircases and a fireplace built with the steps of a 15th century local church.

The main building has over 400 m2 of living space, five bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a 100 m2 open space on the lower floor with state-of-the-art kitchen plus one more tastefully decorated bathroom, fully equipped laundry room and a library with stone walls in the old barn at mezzanine level overlooking the living room.

This beautiful hillside property offers terraces, a brick wine cellar and a huge seven cars garage.

In addition, there are 4,000 m2 (1 acre) of proprietary IGT nebbiolo vineyards, a dream come true for the aspiring vintner.

Area floor space is 80sqm, with a wonderful local Beola stone table and matching benches which seat 20 people and a brick and stone fully equipped BBQ area with a stone sink from the 16th century.

Comfort and safety are at the highest level of uncompromising quality thanks to the most modern technologies used to build the electric, plumbing and heating systems, including solar panels, central hoovering system and central alarm system.

The property has two electric entrance gates from the road.

This highly technological core is hidden within the most precious materials used to restore and complete the property.

The surrounding area consists of vineyards, hills, woods and a beautiful panorama of the Alps in the distance, giving the impression of living in the past.
