Perosa Argentina, Turijn (provincie)

RENOVATED ALPINE COUNTRY HOUSE – 30 MINUTES FROM SESTRIERE, 1 HOUR FROM TURIN
A beautifully renovated detached country house with its own private garden, in a charming mountain hamlet just an hour from the vibrant city of Turin and its international airport.

In the other direction, it is around 30 minutes by car to the Olympic ski resorts of Sestriere and Pragelato, part of the Via Lattea (Milky Way), Italy’s largest ski area, which extends across the French border to Montgenèvre.

In the immediate vicinity, there are chestnut woods, full of funghi and berries, with tumbling waterfalls. Where the woods give way to Alpine pastures, there are squirrels and wild deer.

At its mountain altitude, summers are pleasantly cooler than in the valley, while the south and south-west aspect of the house means abundant winter sunshine. The kitchen and sitting room open onto the garden, while all the bedrooms have balconies. The property enjoys mountain views in every direction.

There are four bedrooms: three in the main house and a further bedroom in a completely separate, self-contained apartment (with its own balcony) on the top floor. The apartment has been regularly rented for short-term holiday lets, offering useful additional income or ideal independent accommodation for family and guests.

The main house has two full bathrooms, as well as a laundry room and downstairs cloakroom, while the self-contained apartment has its own bathroom.

Outside, there's a private garden with an above-ground swimming pool, which is included in the sale.

The surrounding borgata is a friendly, thriving micro-community, home to both young working couples and old-time farming families who have lived here for generations. Despite its peaceful mountain setting, it is only a short drive from the bustling centre of Perosa Argentina, along well-maintained surfaced roads. Parking is approximately 200 metres from the house, with a small piazza close by for conveniently dropping off luggage, shopping and passengers.

Perosa Argentina has banks, bars, restaurants and all the shops and everyday services you are likely to need, including a large supermarket. A little further away is the undiscovered gem of Pinerolo, an elegant historic city with beautiful Baroque architecture, excellent restaurants, chocolate shops and Eataly.

Its recent renovation has made the house comfortable and well insulated, with triple-glazed windows and central heating with individual room thermostats. For those who prefer the atmosphere of a fire in winter, there are also wood-burning stoves in both the kitchen and sitting room. The house is supplied with fresh mountain water, and the access road to the borgata is maintained by the local council so there's never any risk of being snow-bound.

Immediately next to the house there is a pretty rustic cottage, visible in the photographs, which is available to purchase separately.
