“Castello di Solonghello is truly a prime opportunity for anyone wishing to invest in a perfectly positioned live-work compound, as this property boasts endless potential" shared Ilaria Demartini, Listing Agent at Italy Sotheby's International Realty. "We are glad to collaborate with Concierge Auctions and leverage their global database and exposure, in tandem with our local expertise.

Live above the Monferrato hills, with sweeping 360-degree views of the spectacular Piedmont landscape. At the top of this Italian villa compound is a castle, originally from the 12th century and updated in the 18th as a country house. Old-world frescoes and flourishes brought to life by the renowned area architecture firm of Gritella & Associates accompany a blank canvas of possibilities for future commercial or personal use. A former luxury brand jewelry factory and headquarters occupy a slice of the nearly eight-hectare property. A stunning, contemporary structure, the factory and headquarters were also designed with entertainment in mind. Host a crowd in grand style from an enormous roof terrace overlooking majestic rolling scenery and ancient hilltop towns, not to mention parking for over 80 guests. Dream of the future aspirations for this incredible property, and relax into the effortless Italian way of life in the fully-renovated residential farmhouse.

Celebrated worldwide for its wine-making, Medieval hill towns, and black and white truffles, the Piedmont region is an ideal spot to live la dolce vita. The gorgeous landscape, dominated by rolling farms and vineyards between Turin, Milan, and the Mediterranean Sea, received a UNESCO designation in 2014. 16th-century wine caves, regional gastronomic specialties, and world-famous festivals of every flavor await from April through October. The  property is convenient for taking in both regional delights and swoon-worthy day trips further afield, only 122 kilometers (75 miles) from Milan. Head to Modena for Michelin-starred food, Lakes Como and Maggiore for alpine views, explore Genoa on the Mediterranean Sea, or Nice to taste the French Riviera.

As part of Concierge Auctions' Key for Key® giving program in partnership with Giveback Homes, the closing will result in a new home built for a family in need.
