Reference: DBMR-T568. In the sweeping plains of Piedmonts Alessandria province, just 7 kilometres from the historic town of Casale Monferrato, lies Frassineto Po a small yet captivating town that today feels like an extension of Casale itself. Despite this close connection, Frassineto Po has retained all the charm of its rural identity, nestled in the heart of the Piedmontese countryside. Here, exquisite wines, internationally celebrated rice, and fine local produce are part of daily life but Frassineto is also known for something far more unexpected: culture. In particular, the town has become famous for Il Borgo del Libro (The Village of the Book), hosted within the grand Palazzo Mossi the first and only book outlet of its kind in all of Italy. As one of its presentations declares: Those who love to read, to travel, and to explore the infinite spaces of words and imagination will find here a port ready to welcome them in this land of Monferrato, which will come to be known not only for its wines, but for its books. It is within this rich context where farming, gastronomy and culture blend effortlessly that we find the early 20th-century farmhouse now offered for sale. Located near the border with Casale Monferrato, just a stones throw from the Church of Madonna degli Angeli, the property sits on a plot of approximately 3, 100 square metres. At its heart stands the main residence, surrounded by six outbuildings a mix of former agricultural structures, including canopies, warehouses, and annexes offering great potential for conversion. The central building is arranged in two wings, currently serving distinct purposes. The residential portion spans three levels: a ground floor, a first floor with a spacious terrace, and an attic, all connected by a central staircase. The agricultural wing features two large garages and several utility rooms on the ground floor, while upstairs accessible by a beautiful original iron spiral staircase is the former hayloft: a dramatic open space with exposed beams, ready to be transformed into a unique living area. Structurally sound and well-preserved, the main building is in good condition but would benefit from internal refurbishment, tailored to its future use. Outside, the six satellite buildings offer immense flexibility: they could be repurposed for storage, hospitality, creative studios, or anything the imagination allows. Thanks to its generous volumes, sweeping countryside views, and complete independence from neighbouring properties, the estate opens itself to multiple possibilities: from a multi-apartment renovation project to a charming B&B, or even a refined agritourism retreat, drawing on the regions strong identity in food, wine, and culture. Its close proximity to Casale Monferrato also makes it highly convenient offering the tranquillity of country living, paired with easy access to road networks and the many amenities of a vibrant town.
