Villa for sale in Valchiusa

VALCHIUSELLA, Vico Canavese – Nestled in the unspoiled heart of the Valchiusella, in the village of Vico Canavese, above the Ivrea area and surrounded by mountains, lies a truly one-of-a-kind property: Casa Rutnera. This independent Villa perfectly blends tradition with innovation, combining the charm of classic alpine architecture with some of the most advanced building technologies available.

What makes this home unique across the entire valley is its commitment to sustainability, energy efficiency, and indoor comfort. Casa Rutnera is certified Passivhaus Plus, CasaClima Gold, and Biosafe A+-some of the highest international standards for energy performance and indoor air quality. These credentials are proudly displayed on stone plaques at the entrance of the estate.

The home is the result of a complete reconstruction of an old rustic farmhouse, now transformed into a modern Villa that still preserves the warmth and character of traditional mountain homes-stone walls, exposed wood beams, and elegant arched porticos. Every detail has been carefully designed to meet the highest energy efficiency standards.

The windows themselves are part of the heating system, functioning as radiant elements that harness solar heat. These are supported by a small wood-burning stove, specifically designed for passive houses-airtight and highly efficient. The Villa is equipped with photovoltaic panels, a mechanical ventilation system with air purification, high-performance insulation with cavity wall injection, and optimized orientation and window placement-making the home nearly energy-independent.

The interior is spread across two floors, with bright, welcoming spaces enhanced by large windows that frame the surrounding landscape. The ground floor hosts the main living area, as well as practical spaces like the garage, wine cellar, and a stunning vaulted stone portico-ideal for outdoor gatherings. Upstairs, the sleeping quarters open onto a wide covered balcony with breathtaking views over the valley and the surrounding woods.

Outside, around 2,300 square meters of private land surround the house, including a gently sloping area and a flat garden space where a real gem awaits: a panoramic hot tub. Picture yourself soaking in warm bubbles while the Valchiusella's natural beauty surrounds you-with sunsets over the mountains, clear skies, and even snowy landscapes in winter.

Casa Rutnera is the perfect choice for those who want something different-by design and by conviction. It's ideal for those looking to invest in a responsible, eco-sustainable, high-performance property. And for those who dream of a home immersed in nature, breathing clean air, living at a slower pace, and being surrounded by the beauty of the Piedmontese Alps.

Whether as a primary residence or a second home, this property is perfect for quality-conscious buyers who love sustainable architecture and scenic surroundings. The location also adds value, being within easy reach of Ivrea (a UNESCO World Heritage Site and railway hub), the Aosta Valley, and Turin.
