The house, in excellent condition and immediately habitable, is composed of a large kitchen, living room and bathroom on the ground floor, and 4 bedrooms and storage room on the first floor.

In the courtyard there are several buildings for agricultural use: a large stable with a barn above, sheds and a warehouse for tools. The complex has always been used for the family's agricultural activity, but is also suitable for being transformed into a hospitality facility. The surrounding land has a total surface area of approx. 33,614, equal to 8.82 Piedmontese days, of which in addition to meadows and woods there is a beautiful plot planted with vineyards, Pelaverga quality. The access road is convenient for any vehicle, asphalted up to the courtyard of the buildings. Castellar, now part of the Municipality of Saluzzo, in the Province of Cuneo in Piedmont, is a small village on the outskirts of the town of Saluzzo, capital of the Marquisate of the same name, Castellar was originally the capital of a fiefdom of the Lords of Morozzo which also included the nearby villages of Pagno, Brondello, Morra and which became a strategic outpost for the defense of the marquisate from the incursions of the Saracens coming from the nearby Alpine passes. The first official mention of Castellar dates back to a deed transcribed in 1138 at a fortification known as Morra di Castellar, in which Giacomo da Brondello, with the approval of the Marquis Manfredo I, donated a part of the fiefdom to the Cistercian monks of the nearby abbey of Santa Maria of Staffarda. In 1270 the hill of Castellar (or Castellaro) was equipped with the current stronghold by the Marquis Tommaso I, as part of a series of interventions in the area aimed at strengthening and improving the defensive apparatus of the small marquisate. Later the castle of the Rocca di Castellar became the designated residence for the counts Castellar di Saluzzo, collateral branch of the counts Saluzzo di Paesana. Since then the territory of Castellar had ever greater importance and in 1330 it was granted as a fief by Frederick I to the brothers Nicolino and Giovanni Braida, former vassals of the marquis. Ludovico II later had the castle enlarged and renovated, adapting it as a noble residence for his wife Margaret of Foix-Candale. The period of greatest splendor for Castellar was between 1357 and 1466 when the fiefdom was once again entrusted to the Saluzzo family of Paesana. Azzo di Saluzzo therefore became the progenitor of the Saluzzo di Castellar dynasty who was succeeded by Giovanni and then Antonio who in 1463 left it as an inheritance to the young Giovanni Andrea, already Lord of Paesana, Crissolo, Sanfront, Martiniana, Oncino and Ostana for the services and the anti-Savoy defense offered in support of the Marquis Ludovico II of Vasto. Castellar enjoyed the benefits of the long and faithful partnership between the lord of Castellar and the marquis Ludovico II until the latter's death in Genoa in January 1504. Relations with the ambitious widow of Ludwig II were not as cordial, to the point of diverging on political choices considered too pro-French, but nevertheless not so serious as to deny the marquisate the military support of Castellar alongside the army of the Kingdom of France in the war of the League of Cambrai against the Republic of Venice. The fiefdom of Castellar had its decline at the same time as the decay of the Marquisate; internal struggles tore the small state apart which fell into a deep crisis and was finally annexed to the Duchy of Savoy with the Treaty of Lyon in 1601. However, the territory of Castellar was confirmed as a fiefdom and remained under the control of the Saluzzo counts of Castellar until advent of the republic.
