The description is for a tiny 18 sqm 'cascinotto' with 3,500 sqm of land and DOC vineyard, which strongly suggests an agricultural outbuilding rather than a normal dwelling; that is a veto risk despite the database saying 'Renovated' and 1 bath. At €30,000 (€1,667/sqm) versus a very low baseline of €188/sqm, it is vastly overpriced for this likely non-habitable use and the listing data looks contradictory.
More on the house and the area
Small stone cascinotto in Alta Langa set among terraced DOC vineyards with 3500 sqm of land. The setting is genuinely picturesque — south-facing hillside, dry-stone terraces, rustic wooden gate, autumn colors. Appeal is entirely the land and vineyard/nature setting rather than the tiny 18 sqm structure, of which no interior is shown. Charming for a hobby-vineyard buyer but not a scroll-stopper.
The listing and its photos show a house you can move into. Anything you spend beyond the price is your choice, not a repair.
- Tiny 18 sqm stone hut, not a real residence
- No listing photos of the interior
- 'Palazzo' label is misleading for a cascinotto
- Remote access via private dirt road
