luxury bastide with sea view for sale Lapedona, Italy
Bastide Lapedona (Italy)
Sitting on a bench, sipping a good local wine while reading a good book, or just admiring the show of a natural valley sloping down to the sea, is what awaits you in this beautiful farmhouse near Lapedona. The house offers approximately 460 sq.m. of living space, with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and the self-contained annex another 75 sq.m., set amidst 2.400 sq.m. of picturesque surroundings. The House Ground Floor: From the main entrance you immediately notice the distinctive tract with which the farmhouse was restored after the anti-seismic reconstruction between 2005 and 2008: large open-plan spaces were built, keeping the exterior outlines, with its original windows and doors. The house develops over 3 floors for a total area of approximately 460 square meters. A yellow royal marble floor extends throughout the ground floor and the first floor, while the walls have been left white to give a minimalistic appearance to the environment, so that the furniture and the floor stand out. On the second floor, instead, a wood flooring has been used. Once you pass through the main door, you enter into an entry hall room with a small room to the right, used as a wardrobe, and a bathroom for guests to the left. Then you enter a grand open-space living room on two levels and the lower one has a sitting area with coloured cushions and big fireplace, to create a cozy and secluded atmosphere, especially during the cold winter evenings. The space above enjoys a reading area and a more convivial living room. The room is very bright thanks to the double door leading to the back garden. Divided by a large elliptical staircase, there are the dining room and the kitchen. Two large rooms featuring the same yellow marble flooring, white walls and large windows opening onto the garden. The spacious dining room is equipped with a beautiful wall-mounted pellet-powered fireplace, close to the central square table, ideal for a delightful dinner with your dearest friends. But to make it a great event you need a proper kitchen and you have it in the adjoining room. In addition to all the household appliances, to the large containment of the cupboards and to the extensive work surface, a storage space behind the kitchen columns has also been created. In this space you can also find another bathroom and in front of it a laundry room with access to the thermal, electrical, and video surveillance systems. First Floor: Stepping up to the first floor, on your left you can immediately notice a large two-faced fireplace positioned in the center of a huge room used by the owners as a relaxation area. In this room, as well as in the rest of the floor, the ceilings are all in wood to further warm an already cozy setting. Natural light and the view of the surrounding valley are the recurring element of this room, thanks to the large windows, two of which lead externally to a terrace of about 43 square meters. Two more rooms are characterized by large windows with wonderful views of the sea of Marina Palmense. One of these rooms is used as a study, while the other is currently used as a large walk-in closet, but both have such dimensions as to be converted into bedrooms if needed. On this floor there is a fourth room where the settings have been made to create an additional bathroom. Second Floor: Stepping up to the second floor, we find a different flooring, made of wood, which defines and warms up the ambience of the two large multi-purpose rooms currently used as double bedrooms. The sloping roof, fully insulated, is characterized by wooden beams and it does not disturb at all the usability of the two rooms, thanks to the height of the ceilings. In one of the two rooms a fully equipped walk-in closet has been made. A third bathroom divides the two rooms. On the ground and first floors the house enjoys an underfloor heating, powered by 3 pellet stoves + 3 thermo fireplaces, while on the second floor there are heat pumps also used for air conditioning. To implement the heating system, there is a solar thermal system to get hot water. The house is connected to the mains water, while for irrigation 2 wells (60m and 40m deep) supply water to a tank. The property is almost fully fenced: the only area of the garden with no fence, is that of the main terrace, to avoid spoiling the beautiful views of the valley. The entrance is via a gated entry with an alarm system with cameras, installed by the owners exclusively for home inspection when they are away for long periods. The Annex The annex, built ex-novo in respect of the surrounding countryside, enjoys a basement consisting of 3 warehouse spaces of about 50 sq.m. fully paved, provided with energy and with good lighting coming from the big basement windows. On the ground floor of about 25sqm, the annex is divided into two separate areas: one is used as a storage for gardening and pool tools, while in the other one a small kitchen and a bathroom with shower have been built. These two rooms are definitely very comfortable when you are in the pool area. The Garden Sitting on a slope in southern Marche, just 2 km from the center of Lapedona and about 10 minutes from the beaches of the Adriatic Sea, this farmhouse is surrounded by a plot of land of about 2400 sq.m. Although not too big, the garden has been expertly structured in well-defined areas: from the iron gate, you can park your car in the parking area; from here you can walk down a series of small steps and terraces to a lower level where you can make a small vegetable garden and where there are some fruit trees for family consumption. Leaving this area, you go back to the main terracing where the outdoor life of this property takes place. The East and South façades are surrounded by a well-groomed garden, with a beautiful green meadow. On the southwest corner of the garden, overlooking the whole valley, a pretty bench is positioned to remember that, with such a beautiful landscape, during the day you have to find time to stop, sit, contemplate the beauty of the place and take some time for yourself to relax. This part of the garden is in close contact with the entire living area on the ground floor: in fact, there are large French-windows and wooden pergolas to let you live as much as possible the beauty of the outside spaces. Last but not least, there’s the pool area and the outbuilding with its large 25 sq.m. wooden porch. The area is predominantly paved to surround the 8mx4m pool accessible through Roman steps. The pool can be completely closed thanks to a telescopic cover that allows you to use it also in the mid-seasons, as early May and / or end of September, when the air is still a bit cool. The Location Located in the hinterland of Fermo, the property is surrounded by rolling hills mostly planted with vineyards. Within a few kilometers you can visit the medieval villages of Torre di Palme, Moresco and Monterubbiano, as well as the historic center of Fermo, just 8 km away.

Bastide Cupramontana (Italy)
In one of the most beautiful areas of the Marche Region, amongst the protected area of the Colli Esini that surrounds the medieval village of Cupramontana, there sits a unique property of a former farmhouse and annex that have been completely rebuilt and renovated. These two buildings are joined by a courtyard and the land also includes ruins of another farmhouse. The house with its annex focus the viewer’s attention on all the architectural details and arrangements that complete the property. Unique contemporary architecture was born from the successful collaboration between the excellent taste and aesthetic sense of the owners and the high professional expertise of local architect Silvia Brocchini. The residential buildings take on the appearance of a small village resulting from the meticulous renovation that transformed the volumes, once the ruins of a rural building, into a prestigious home that won the “InArchitettura 2020” award for Best Renovation in the Marche. Set like a gem within the beautiful, natural environment, the dwellings adapt perfectly to the terrain, integrating into the surrounding landscape and following the natural course of the gentle slopes. Arriving at the property, a parking area excludes the view of cars and introduces via stairs and small terraced areas expertly planted with local aromatic plants and centuries-old olive trees. The simple garden beautifully recalls the monastic design of the Hortus Conclusus with the perimeter walls replaced by infinite views towards the horizons. Avoiding any limitation, the eye takes great pleasure in the spectacular panorama of the Colli Esini that surrounds the property. The dwellings stand on their own land of just over one hectare. Apart from the garden, the rest of the land is left to agricultural cultivation, typical of the area with a splendid olive grove, some fruit trees and arable land. All around the views sweep over the villages perched on ridges and a succession of agricultural plots with vineyards, resulting in an infinite patchwork of shapes and colors stretching as far as the visible Adriatic Sea. The demolition and reconstruction of the house and its annex were carried out by local artisans between 2016 and 2018. The architect and the owners wanted, as far as possible, to maintain the harmony of the original building by reusing the materials. The patina of antiquity is not lost despite the use of most modern materials and technologies. The renovation was done in accordance with the laws on urban planning with the most current construction techniques aimed at promoting anti-seismic resistance. The exterior and interior appear clean, elegant, and sober, all denoting a rare yet sophisticated simplicity of living. The result is nothing short of exciting. Both buildings are developed on two floors with split levels. The main residence occupies an area of 142 square meters, net (200 gross sqm), distributed inside as follows: entrance hallway that via a small flight of stairs leads to the kitchen, dining room and adjoining living room, these same rooms can also be reached directly from the garden through sliding French windows. From the living room the large window leads to the solarium patio below; on this same floor is a guest bathroom and technical rooms with laundry. Below the solarium terrace there is a comfortable storage room and garden tool shed. From the entrance / hallway, the internal staircase leads to the upper floor where there is ample space for the master area consisting of a bedroom with a small private study, a walk in and out wardrobe and a bathroom with tub and separate shower area. On this floor but at a slightly higher staggered level, always following the course of the ground, reachable both from the same internal staircase and directly from the outside, therefore potentially autonomous, is a large studio apartment that can accommodate a second bedroom with a predisposed chimney for fireplace and an inserted washbasin. In the nearby second building, rebuilt on two floors, occupies a net area of approx. 32,5 square meters, net (45 sqm. gross), a beautiful studio is situated on the first floor and has been created with a magnificent view and entrance from the garden. On the lower floor is a bedroom with shower and a separate lavatory. This floor gives guests privacy from the main building. Adjacent is an outdoor shower and a small area with fixed table and bench made of stone, ancient terracotta, and exposed polished concrete. The interiors of the buildings consist of clean lines, resulting in a bright and ethereal living environment. The white color, the powder-colored resin floors, the natural sandstone, and the use of oak, create a natural atmosphere that unifies the various levels. Particular attention was given to the design of the openings of different sizes that offer emotional views to the outside as a succession of landscape works of art. In the kitchen, a small original splayed window frames the 12th century abbey of Beato Angelo. Even the roof assumes a leading role in this design and construction: inside the structure that fulfills the dual structural and aesthetic purpose made with lamellar beams, trusses, and ancient terracotta tiles. The external original tiles, act as gutters, conveying the rainwater to a sophisticated and ingenious way that is invisible from the outside. Much of the furniture was custom built so that the interiors were homogenous in colors and materials and that the spaces were exploited to the maximum with walls and small storage compartments. The travertine slab stands out above all, a single slab creating the kitchen island. Even the design of the garden has not been left to chance. It has been wisely designed by creating green spaces alternating with the convivial and relaxation areas whose position opens to different exposures and orientations at different times of day and night. Between the buildings a small square has been created where a table with concrete benches hint to the modernity of the work. All the works were made by local artisans. The house and its annex are equipped with all essential and basic services such as connection to the water and electricity service. Underfloor heating installed with a gas-fired radiant system. The property is also connected with WiFi and features built-in sound system and a hidden large projection screen for home cinema. A short distance from the house and as part of the property, there is the ruin of another rural building which could be rebuilt to accommodate additional living space if desired. It would also be possible to build a swimming pool. The property is only 5 minutes from the center of Cupramontana in the Province of Ancona. Easily reached is the main route SS76 Rome-Ancona which leads to the nearby Ancona – Falconara airport in 30 minutes and then to the Adriatic Sea.
