luxury property for sale Pavone Canavese, Italy

Immersed in the hills north of Turin, towards Ivrea, in Piedmont, is this refined 17th-century castle designed by architect Chevalley. Perched on top of a hill facing south in the Morenico amphitheater of Ivrea, the historic building, which was once the residence of the Savoy and Monferrato nobility, extends over 2960 square meters on three levels, surrounded by a 2-hectare park with centuries-old trees and stables.^^The roots of the castle seem to date back to the 12th century, or even to the year 1000. Architect Chevalley carried out a complete renovation, modifying the traditional horseshoe-shaped layout by adding the Tower, an elegant loggia, and an imposing entrance hall.^^The property offers 2500 square meters of interior space spread over three floors, with large rooms furnished with antique fireplaces and Baroque details. The large windows offer a view of the park. A magnificent marble staircase leads to the second floor, where the sleeping area, three apartments, and a chapel are located, accessible through a charming arched corridor. The main tower houses spacious bedrooms, bathrooms, and a splendid panoramic terrace. In the basement, there is a weapons room, a kitchen for events, and a wine cellar.^^In front of the main entrance, a large terrace overlooks the gardens, and below it is the orangery, which overlooks the Italian garden. A 70-square-meter outbuilding at the entrance serves as the caretaker's residence.^^The property extends over approximately 2 hectares, including Italian gardens and a private ancient grove. From the grove, you can access a second entrance, where there is an area dedicated to horse riding, ideal for special events as well.,

Valdengo Castle is located 20 minutes from the Carisio exit on the A4 motorway. It is one hour from Milan, Turin, and Malpensa international airport and two hours from France and Switzerland. The Castle stands on a gentle hill from which you can enjoy a 360-degree view, from the Biella alps to Monviso, from Baraggia to the hills and plains of the Novara area and the village of Valdengo in the foreground. The building, whose first layout dates back to the Middle Ages, is located in a well-restored hamlet. Today the castle is only partially inhabited on the ground floor. The remaining part, whose frescoed ceilings have remained unchanged over the centuries, is dedicated to halls and lounges with fireplaces and furnishings that enhance their historical nature. In the inhabited part, there is the oldest fireplace that frames an elegant room, a living room, and a dining room, with direct access to the large terrace of 360 square meters, and the kitchen complete the floor. The monumental staircase leads to the first floor entirely dedicated to the bedrooms. Also on this floor, the architectural elements are of great value. Some rooms in fact have frescoed ceilings and perfectly preserved parquet floors. In addition, all rooms facing the southwest side have French windows onto a long balcony that delineates the entire floor. The second floor, with a reduced layout and access to the turret by a comfortable staircase, housed some rooms and services. Overall, the Castle needs an integral intervention. Although in fact some rooms preserve the historical beauty and the traces of their noble origins, the systems, fixtures, and bathrooms must be modernized. The roof and some attics must be entirely redone. The area lends itself to be appreciated by sports lovers thanks to the numerous possibilities that the area offers (about 30 minutes away is the golf of Magnano Biellese, the Betulle, among the most beautiful in Italy, the tennis clubs of Rosazza and the Beeches of Biella, the Biellese Alps for skiing, but also the renowned areas of the Val d'Aosta. Lake Viverone for water skiing and wakeboarding, as well as walks in the Burcina or Zegna oasis, cycling, and mtb at la Serra and surroundings). Even food and wine lovers can try the wines of the rapidly growing area and the numerous local specialties.
