280 m² Townhouse Piemonte

In the medieval heart of Neive—one of Italy’s officially most beautiful towns and part of the celebrated Langhe wine region—stands this unique property, known as Casa Museo. Hidden in a tranquil courtyard just steps from wine bars, restaurants, and art galleries, the home offers the rare combination of living in a historic town while enjoying the space, privacy, and flexibility usually found only in the countryside. The property has been meticulously restored through the collaboration of a renowned architect and the owner, an artist. The result is a house that blends centuries of history—vaulted brick ceilings, exposed stone walls, original terracotta floors dating back to 1919—with modern design and premium materials such as Luserna stone, Black Beauty granite, and hand-finished teak floors. The architecture reflects both tradition and contemporary creativity, inspired by figures such as Mondrian and Carlo Scarpa. Layout and Features The house unfolds across several levels, each connected directly to the surrounding courtyard and garden. On the ground floor you find a bright kitchen with a brick vaulted ceiling, antique wooden pantry doors, and granite counters. The adjoining living room has a high vaulted ceiling, a feature fireplace, and rare decorative elements that give the room character and warmth. A bathroom with shower completes this level. Upstairs lies the master suite, with its original terracotta flooring and balcony overlooking the rooftops, churches, vineyards, and distant Alps. The ensuite bathroom is fitted with luxury finishes, including Sahara Noir marble. Also on this level is a laundry room and a luminous studio with high beamed ceilings. Floor-to-ceiling windows open 180 degrees, creating the feeling of a veranda that extends into the outdoors—a perfect place for an aperitivo or relaxed alfresco dining. Outdoor Spaces The shared courtyard offers both charm and practicality, with valuable on-site parking—an almost impossible feature to find in the historic center of Neive. Around the house is a strip of private space measuring about one meter, allowing natural light and air to flow freely. Below the property lies additional land with hazelnut trees and a portico. The portico is currently rented by the owner but can be purchased, and the land offers the potential to create a swimming pool, combining town life with the pleasures of the countryside. Lower Level – Flexible Use The lower level is another highlight. At present it is used as the owner’s art gallery and exhibition space, with exposed stone walls and vaulted ceilings. Importantly, this level can be zoned as commercial—it once held that designation and could easily do so again. The room is equipped with hot and cold water, heating vents, and separate electrical setup, allowing it to function independently. This makes it suitable for a boutique business, a creative studio, or even as a rental unit for additional income if the new owner does not wish to use it personally. Lifestyle and Location This property is truly designed for someone who wants the best of both worlds: the lively year-round life of a Langhe town with its wine bars, restaurants, and community, combined with the privacy of outdoor space, potential for a pool, and even a small piece of land. Alba, Barbaresco, Barolo, and Monforte d’Alba are all just a short drive away, while Asti, Turin, the Riviera, and the Alps are within easy reach. Owning Casa Museo means owning a piece of history, a work of art, and a lifestyle all at once—a home that balances authenticity and comfort, tradition and innovation, town and country. 📞 Interested?
