Frassineto Po, farmhouse in the Monferrato countryside

However, it also boasts cultural activities that have made it famous, particularly “Il Villaggio del Libro” (The Book Village), located inside Palazzo Mossi—the first and currently the only book outlet in the entire country. “Those who love reading, traveling, and exploring the infinite spaces of words and imagination will find a welcoming harbor in this Monferrato land, which may gradually become recognized not only as a land of fine wines but also of books… DOC.” This is part of the presentation accompanying the initiative.

In this setting, where agriculture and gastronomy blend beautifully with culture, a farmhouse was built in the early 1900s—now available for sale. Positioned on the border of Casale Monferrato’s municipal territory, near the Church of Madonna degli Angeli, the property consists of a main building, the heart of the estate, surrounded by six smaller buildings (sheds, warehouses, annexes, etc.) within a plot of approximately 3,100 square meters.

The main structure is divided into two sections, currently serving two well-defined purposes. The residential area spans three levels (ground floor, first floor with a spacious terrace, and attic), all connected by a central staircase. The agricultural section includes two large garages and various utility rooms on the ground floor, while the first floor—accessible via an original metal spiral staircase—hosts what was once the hayloft, a stunning open-space area with exposed beams that could be transformed into a magnificent living space. The building is structurally solid and well-maintained, though its interior requires some remodeling depending on its intended use.

As mentioned, the property also includes six satellite structures, ranging from sheds to warehouses and agricultural annexes, offering versatile spaces that can be adapted to various needs and creative ideas.

Its generous volume, open views of the countryside, and independence from other structures allow for multiple possibilities. It could be converted into several apartments, a charming bed & breakfast, or even a high-quality agriturismo, taking full advantage of the area’s strong enogastronomic identity.

The proximity to a major town makes this property convenient from a logistical standpoint, providing easy access to road networks while offering the tranquility of country living. At the same time, it remains close enough to Casale Monferrato to benefit from the services and amenities of the city.
