The house is situated in the middle of the Marche countryside, between Cupramontana and Staffolo, in the land of the white wine “Verdicchio”. The property has stunning views over the surrounding hills and the sea.
The property is located at 450 m above sea level and only 5 kms away from the famous medieval town of Cupramontana.
The House
The main building measures about 250 sq.m. and has been perfectly restored with great taste and respect for the marchigiano architectural tradition.
This lovely farmhouse has 2 floors with an internal staircase, but may be used as 2 separate apartments by closing the staircase.
Ground Floor:
This is composed of a large and bright living room, characterized by wooden beams, and is connected to a large portico, where you can enjoy al-fresco dinners.
On this floor, there is a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, with a door to the garden. A large double bedroom is placed on this floor with a modern bathroom inclusive of tub and a spacious shower
First Floor:
The stairs lead to a beautiful open-plan living room with another fully equipped kitchen. The sitting area has a wood burning fireplace while the windows on either side allow the wonderful view of the valley and sea as per a renaissance painting.
On the same floor, there are 2 lovely double bedrooms and a fully equipped bathroom with tub and shower.
An interesting feature is a wooden panel/trap door between the first and ground floor, that can be used to divide the house into 2 fully independent apartments, each with its own entrance.
The house was restored with excellent materials, retaining all the original features as the wooden beams and the cotto tiles on the roof, in order to match the rustic style of a typical country house with all the modern comforts.
The house is central heated by GLP gas and/or pellet.
The Annexes
The property enjoys a small annex ( about 12 sq.m.) close to the pool, which can be used as a small studio with a view of the pool.
Next to it, on an elevated position, there’s a pergola overlooking the pool with summer kitchen: it’s the perfect place to enjoy the pool during a hot summer.
A useful enclosed woodshed which can be used as a car port and storage is located uphill, and is not visible from the house.
The Land
The house, annexes and pool are located on 0,5 ha of land with the established gardens and olive trees. The mature garden is very well landscaped and in a sheltered location there’s the 7 x 3,5m swimming pool. From the rose garden you can enjoy a stunning 180° view over the valley, with its green rolling hills and the medieval town of Staffolo, stretching onto the sea.
The remaining 2,3 ha of property, includes partly arable land, some woods and a small vineyard planted with Sangiovese and Montepulciano grapes. In the last few years, a vegetable and flower garden, all irrigated, and an orchard have been made, with plentyfull home produce.
Roses and other flowers have been planted all around.
The Location
The property is perfect if you like to live in the countryside, yet not too far from all services: with no close neighbors. It takes only 5 minutes to reach either Cupramontana or Staffolo, where you can find shops, restaurants, bars, banks, post office and all you need to live a fulfilling life.
The property is also 25 minutes away from the Ancona airport and 40 minutes from the unspoiled beaches of the Conero area and Senigallia. There are several local attractions like the Frasassi Caves, national parks, lakes and also wineries producing both white and red wines. You can easily reach the city of Jesi, known for the famous “Verdicchio dei castelli di Jesi” (white wine) but also for the culture and traditions that go along with it. Many medieval castles are spread throughout the Marche territory.

Why Buy It
This charming farmhouse in the Marche is perfect if you prefer to live in the countryside, perhaps making some wine for personal consumption, however without having to drive through long white roads. As a matter of facts, the house is easily accessible from a paved road and it’s never too busy, so you will enjoy your privacy and quiet anyways.
The house is in excellent condition and ready to move into and it is very easy to be maintained thanks to a very linear architecture and finishes, in their uniqueness. So, it is perfect both as a home to live in all year round and as a second home for your holidays with family and friends.
Thanks to the clever system to divide the two floors, it’s also a property where you can live permanently, while renting out the upper floor, thus getting a small income, to cover the yearly costs.
