luxury property with terrace for sale Sarnano, Italy

Standing on a small hillock in outstanding countryside with splendid views in every direction, you can find this lovely complex of buildings. Formerly a rural parish, a meeting place for believers who lived in the surrounding countryside, it was meticulously restored in the 1990s to create a private home and accommodations for international tourists. With multiple living units, this property is extremely flexible and can be used as a grand private residence with space for visiting friends, as a holiday rental business, or as an elegant wedding venue. The Former Rectory (Main Building) The first written records of this charming pieve date back to year 1290, but the discovery of three Etruscan tombs in 1935 and the presence of flints from the Neolithic period are evidence of a much longer history. The main building was originally the old canonica, the priest’s house attached to the church. It was attractively converted at the end of the ’90s into a cozy and welcoming private home. The current owners have chosen not to upset the internal layout, leaving it almost unaltered and re-using as many old materials as possible, especially the large wooden beams. The private home covers a total area of 373 sq.m. on 2 floors, divided as follows: Ground Floor: This is where the main door is located and it leads to a number of rooms used as: • Small studio • Large studio with exit to the garden • Laundry room • Storage rooms for gardening and other tools • Cellars, which were used in the past to produce and stock wine A large staircase leads up to the first floor. First Floor: This is the proper living area and it’s characterized by double ceilings and wooden beams. All rooms here are large and homely, and they make you feel as if you’ve stumbled into a rural past, yet with class and comforts. This floor is accessible, not only via internal staircase, but also through 2 large French doors in the kitchen and in the living room. With the utmost respect for the original architecture, the ups and downs between the rooms have also been retained, creating a striking vertical movement, allowing for airy rooms. The living room is a comfortable space where you can sit and relax with your loved ones. From the living room, you are directly connected, on one side, to a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, on the other side, you go into the kitchen/dining room, which features a lovely built-in kitchen, made in typical rural style. The kitchen features a French door, which provides plenty of light and leads you out to a panoramic terrace with bread/pizza oven, where shade is guaranteed by a natural vine-clad pergola – a perfect spot to sit down in the late afternoon for an aperitif, while you watch the last rays of the sun light up Monte Catria. From the dining room, you enter a majestic library, characterized by a double-height ceiling with massive original wooden beams and soft lighting, which creates the ideal atmosphere for relaxing while reading. From this room, you access 2 spacious double bedrooms with panoramic views, which share one bathroom. The Former Church (The Annex) Attached to the main building, there is the old San Cristoforo church, built in the 1700s and now no longer consecrated. This part was restored in 2002 and measures about 83 sq.m.: it is now a lovely independent apartment for guests, boasting a four-metre high, pitched ceiling, and composed of a very large open-space room in the former nave, featuring a sitting area, kitchen and dining zone, with direct exit to a lovely terraced area overlooking the vineyard with uninterrupted views of delightful rolling hills. A double bedroom with en-suite bathroom has been made in the sacristy. The Former Farmworkers’ Cottage (Outbuilding) This is a handsomely restored 18th-century stone cottage, covering an area of 166 sq.m., that provides exceptional accommodation for up to four people. Upstairs are two spacious double bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en suite). Downstairs are a sitting room and a country kitchen, both opening on a delightful and private south-facing garden and paved terrace with a pergola where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the nearby high mountains as you sip your Italian wine. The Land This extensive property lies over a plot of land of almost 4 hectares, which on one hand provides a lot of privacy and on the other hand allows to have a small vineyard of Bianchello wine, in addition to fruit trees, for production of home-made, organic jam. There is no swimming pool at the moment, but it could be built in several panoramic spots of the garden. The Location The pieve of San Cristoforo stands on a small hillock in outstanding countryside with splendid views of Le Marche countryside in every direction. To the front lie fields and woodland that lead the eye to the high peaks of Monte Catria, while to the sides are the tree-clad slopes of a small river valley and vineyard and views of rolling hills as far as the horizon. Getting to Cagli, the closest town with services, is a matter of minutes, thanks to a comfortable paved road. Situated on a plateau set between two rivers, Cagli still recounts its medieval past, which has left traces on its territory, in its architecture and in the narratives that have come down to us. Incorporated into the Duchy of Urbino, it was fortified by Federico di Montefeltro and it seems to have inspired the painting “The Ideal City”. Enjoy a stroll along Corso XX Settembre or simply sit down at one of the bars in the main piazza and inhale all the beauty of this lovely town in Marche. In Cagli you can find all you need for your daily life. The property is ideally located for discovering the cities of Marche and Umbria. Just thirty minutes from San Cristoforo is Urbino, cradle of the Renaissance, and Gubbio, Umbria’s medieval jewel. But there are many destinations within easy reach: Gradara, San Leo, the Frasassi Caves, Loreto, Assisi, Arezzo, Spoleto and, 50 kilometres away, Fano with its quiet beaches. EPC : Ordered Why Buy It If you want to become the proud owner of a piece of Italian and Marche history, then look no further.

There’s no business like a country business. Irving Berlin used to sing: “Everything about it is appealing, Everything the traffic will allow, Nowhere could you get that happy feeling, When you are stealing, That extra bow”. This amazing property 15min from the Adriatic coast with restaurant and bedrooms for B&B, will let you manage an already prosperous business in the peaceful marchigiano countryside. By living and working here, you will no longer need a mindfulness course in your life. The Main Building The main building comes from a former farmhouse dated 1772, restored by the current owners and enlarged over the years as the business was growing and getting more important. The total area is over 1.100 sq.m. and it includes: Ground Floor: An elegant restaurant that can accommodate up to 200 people, with large windows overlooking the garden A very spacious glazed lounge bar Kitchens and cellars, as well as storage rooms and space for the staff Bathrooms Private sitting room with fireplace and studio Given the generous size, this wonderful space can be used not only as a restaurant for dinners but also as a banquet hall: guests can enjoy an elegant lunch/dinner, dance and enjoy their time together in the lounge area, equipped with a proper bar and stereo system and, if the ceremony is in the summer, they can run out and dive into the pool. First Floor: The private home is arranged with a spacious living room, double bedroom, bathroom and master bedroom with step-in closet, en-suite bathroom and gym area with large panoramic windows. The lovely mezzanine over the living room can be arranged as a studio or play area for the kids. The apartment, all around, is surrounded by a glazed terrace, with outstanding views over the marchigiano rolling hills. The main building may be kept as it is, to continue with the business, or may be turned into a full private home. The Annexes The property goes with a number of annexes, used for different purposes: Opposite the pool, there is the 120 sq.m. building recently restored and arranged as 7 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, where guests can stay in a B&B formula. Many, by the way, decide to enjoy it as a hideaway for a few days: they can sleep, have breakfast, meals, a walk in the nature a – why not – a wine tasting, with the owner as a special guide. All bedrooms feature large windows with beautiful views over the Le Marche green hills. Another important outbuilding is the big (195 sq.m.) pergola overlooking the valley: it is used for open-air banquets and dinners and it features a BBQ area. Parties under the pergola are some of the most enjoyable events here. The pergola can be closed with removable side covers, so you can use this space also on rainy days. The other outbuildings are storages, technical rooms and garage, for a total of ca. 280 sq.m. The Garden The property includes over 2.200 sq.m. of mature garden with plants and trees which guarantee shade in the summer. The garden has different spots to be enjoyed during the day. The nicest is the pool area, with decking where you can place sun umbrellas and sunbeds, with a lovely natural pergola to the side, where you can arrange a lounge area with snacks and drinks. All this, strictly, in a panoramic and breathtaking position, especially at sunset, when the blue sky gets painted with all shades of red. On a lower level, a large parking space will let all your guests park their cars comfortably. The Location The position of this superb property is one of the most sought for in this moment: inland, but not too much, so you can get to the beach in just 15min by car. This way, you and your guests can enjoy calm, peace and relax but it won’t take you hours to go the beach or to reach the motorway as well as major services. This area is also well known to all lovers of biking, because its winding roads make cycling very amusing. And for guests who want to enjoy an art tour, the Renaissance city of Urbino is just a few kilometers away. Optional The main villa, outbuildings and garden are part of a bigger property, which includes additional 1.9 ha of agricultural land. Most of the land is arable. The part on top is dedicated to the vineyard and includes a winery. The winery is a recent project, started in 2015. The production is already active, but the current owners every year invest in additional spaces and new vinifications in order to offer products that are not only innovative, but also in line with the wine tastes of a constantly evolving clientele. The position close to the coast of the vineyard gives the wine unmistakable and rare organoleptic characteristics, making it a unique product. At the moment the production is concentrated on Sangiovese mainly, but it seems something’s already cooking. Close by there’s a big plot of land where they designed and submitted a project to build additional accommodations, in order to have two separate areas: the one on top for the accommodation business and that downhill for the guests of the restaurant. The land also enjoys 700 productive olive trees: the olive oil of this area is well known throughout Marche and nationally for being one of the best in Italy. Last but not least, on top of the hill, there’s an open-air consecrated church, where guests can celebrate weddings or other religious ceremonies in an evocative environment, surrounded by singing birds and then move to the restaurant area to enjoy the party. The extra land with project, winery and church may be purchased with a separate negotiation. EPC: Ordered Why Buy It Buying this property is a double gesture of generosity: • towards yourself and your soul, because you can do business, but in a very relaxed environment, in direct contact with nature. • towards guests, because continuing this kind of activity means devoting one’s time to the happiness and pleasure of others. But after all, what could be more gratifying than seeing a smile on people’s faces and knowing that you gave it to them? The property is large and thus offers many management opportunities, which can be either direct (family business) or the various areas can be licensed to third-party companies. In any case, the biggest advantage is to take over an already operational business, with a 40-year background, made up of positive reviews and with a starred-restaurant heritage. It’s all downhill from here. For those looking for a family retreat, you can change the internal layout of the main building to get a private home with all external amenities for your family and friends.

An enchanting property that began life as a watchtower and communication tower in 1200, positioned on a hill with panoramic views in all directions by virtue of its ancient function. It consists of an ancient body, the three-storey tower with Ghibelline merlons, and a later extension of over 400 square metres that makes it widely liveable and comfortable. The structure, built entirely of stone and with ceilings with wooden beams and terracotta tiles, fully respects the traditional building techniques of the period. Inside we find large, bright and cosy spaces, rustic details that blend harmoniously with elements of comfort. The numerous windows allow natural light to flood the interior, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in every room. On the first floor, the property has six bedrooms, four bathrooms and a main living room with an atmospheric fireplace, ideal for hosting family and guests. On the ground floor there is a large kitchen and a long living room characterised by two stone arches. Still on the ground floor are five more rooms with various possible uses. Going up, finally, we have a studio inside the tower, a small terrace and the tower's super panoramic terrace. There are two outbuildings, an oven and an animal shelter, which are in good condition and can be used for various purposes. The property is accompanied by an extensive estate of about 2.5 hectares of land, consisting of one hectare cultivated for decades in organic mode, a valuable wood for wood, a terraced orchard and the upper part of the hillside cared for as a garden and olive grove. The presence of about 140 olive trees, cared for and in production, offers a harvest of about 1000-1500 kilos of olives per year. Situated a short distance from the Orvietana, a scenic road connecting Todi from Orvieto along the Tiber and Lake Corbara, it is a reference point for a nature trail in the area. All necessary services are located a short distance away. The geographic position and the altitude of 400 metres above sea level mean that the climate is always mild even in winter and definitely suitable for agriculture and in particular the production of highly prized olive oil.
