A prestigious country retreat in Staffolo Le Marche Nestled within the rolling hills of the Marche countryside, in the enchanting setting of the fertile Esino Valley, this charming semi-detached farmhouse has been exquisitely restored to offer an exceptional blend of authenticity, comfort, and refined elegance. Surrounded by just over one hectare of private land and crowned by a panoramic infinity swimming pool, the property enjoys a privileged position immersed in nature, where light, silence and open horizons create an atmosphere of rare harmony. Located only a few kilometres from the historic hilltop village of Staffolo, renowned for its breathtaking vistas and poetically known as the Balcony of the Vallesina, this former rural dwelling has been transformed from a humble farmers home into a prestigious country retreat designed for unforgettable stays. Completed in 2021, the farmhouse has been entirely rebuilt in accordance with the most advanced anti-seismic standards and with the utmost respect for the surrounding landscape. Every brick, roof tile and furnishing element has been carefully recovered, restored and reintegrated into the new structure, preserving the authentic character and soul of the original building while delivering contemporary comfort and outstanding architectural quality. The Farmhouse The farmhouse extends over approximately 210 sq.m. and unfolds across three levels. Although adjoining another structure, the building is completely independent from a structural and functional standpoint, enjoying its own private entrance, garden, land and utility systems, thus ensuring total privacy and autonomy. Ground Floor: On the ground floor, a generous covered portico of around 35 sq.m. opens onto the garden and overlooks the stunning infinity pool, providing an idyllic setting for outdoor living. Here, a fully equipped masonry-built kitchen and a large dining table create the perfect environment for al fresco lunches, convivial dinners and relaxed evenings under the stars. The main entrance leads into a versatile recreational room, currently arranged with a billiard table, a bookcase and a piano, making it a refined yet welcoming space dedicated to leisure and entertainment. A small sofa, tucked beneath the staircase leading to the first floor, completes the ambience of this inviting room, which also enjoys direct access to the portico. The ground floor is further complemented by a bathroom with walk-in masonry shower and a well-appointed laundry room. First Floor: Ascending to the first floor, one enters a beautiful open-plan living area comprising a bespoke kitchen with central island, a dining area and a spacious lounge. A striking thermo-fireplace and two elegant sofas define the living space, while the abundance of natural light and the warm, earthy colour palette create an atmosphere of understated luxury, comfort and tranquillity. Second Floor: A refined staircase in wood and iron leads to the second floor, dedicated to the sleeping quarters, where two generous double bedrooms are each served by en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers. One of the bedrooms also features a charming mezzanine level, providing an additional sleeping area and enhancing the architectural interest of the space. Entirely restored starting in 2018, this remarkable farmhouse boasts high-quality finishes throughout, seamlessly blending traditional Marche craftsmanship with contemporary design. Sustainability has been a guiding principle of the entire project: two photovoltaic systems, installed on the roof and on the external pergola used as parking and charging station for electric vehicles and e-bikes, provide a total output of 7 kW, ensuring energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. Heating is supplied by a modern heat pump system and the thermo-fireplace, while the bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning. The carefully curated interiors reflect the owners passion for restoring antique furnishings and combining them with modern design elements, achieving a harmonious and elegant balance. The Land The property is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden, offering multiple areas ideal for outdoor aperitifs, relaxation and convivial moments with family and friends. Beyond the garden, the estate extends over approximately 10,154 sq.m. of private land, embracing gentle terraces and lush green lawns. Approximately 1,500 sq.m. of the grounds are fully fenced, providing a flat and secure area around the house, while the remaining land gently slopes across soft terraces, largely laid to lawn. The spacious covered portico becomes the true heart of outdoor living, complete with an external kitchen, a large glass-topped dining table and modern designer seating. Just a few steps away lies the magnificent infinity swimming pool, perfectly positioned to capture the sweeping panoramic views and the refreshing breezes that temper even the warmest summer days. From here, one can admire the dramatic natural scenery, including the evocative calanchi clay formations visible in the distance. The rectangular pool measures 13.5 x 5 metres, with a constant depth of 1.40 metres, saltwater purification system, internal steps for easy access, and a charming cascade along its long side. A well-appointed solarium area with sun loungers, deck chairs and parasols completes this refined outdoor oasis.
