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.

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.

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.

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.

An Enchanting 10th cent. Estate in the Rolling Hills of Le Marche Perched on the gentle hills of Cupramontana, in the very heart of Le Marche, this remarkable estate stands as a testament to Italian elegance, history, and refined living. Once built upon the ruins of an ancient castle and graced by its own consecrated church, the property has been meticulously restored to its former splendour, harmoniously blending historic architecture with contemporary comfort. Spanning approximately 5.7 hectares of land, the estate offers breathtaking views of the Apennine mountains, rolling hills and medieval towns, enveloped in the tranquillity and beauty of the Marche countryside. Immersed in lush greenery, just a short distance from a beautifully preserved medieval village offering all essential amenities, this extraordinary residence epitomises balance: the poise between the noble echoes of history and the serenity of modern life. Every detail here speaks of grace and authenticity — a true sanctuary where beauty, peace, and comfort coexist effortlessly. The Main House The main villa, a fine example of traditional Marchigiano country architecture, extends over approximately 250 sq.m. arranged across two floors and is presented in impeccable condition. Ground Floor: The entrance opens into an elegant hall adorned with exquisite solid-wood panelling that conceals a refined library. Beyond the panelling lies a bespoke kitchen, while to the north-east a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace opens directly onto the garden — an inviting space for both intimate evenings and convivial gatherings. On the south-west side, a versatile room adjoins a guest bathroom, serving perfectly as either a study or an additional bedroom for unexpected guests. First Floor: A graceful staircase leads to an airy open-space mezzanine lounge with double-height ceilings. From here, access leads to three bedrooms, one of which enjoys an en-suite bathroom. The other two bedrooms share a family bathroom. From each window, the views are nothing short of extraordinary — stretching across the Apennines, from Monte San Vicino to the Sibillini range. The villa is equipped with a 15 kW three-phase electrical system, mains water, a septic tank, two LPG tanks, a dual gas boiler central heating system with radiators, a wood-burning fireplace, and a comprehensive alarm system — ensuring comfort and security year-round. The Annexes The estate includes several beautifully restored annexes. The consecrated church, measuring approximately 215 sq.m., has been impeccably maintained. Its central nave, with soaring pointed-arch ceilings, retains its sacred atmosphere, while the right wing has been transformed into a charming two-level apartment with a living area and kitchen on the ground floor and a bedroom with bathroom above. The left wing serves as a refined study, library, or reading room — ideal for quiet reflection. Behind the main villa lies a magnificent glass orangery, gracefully set upon the remnants of the castle’s ancient fortified walls, now reborn as a luminous space connecting history and nature. In front of the villa, a small stone outbuilding houses a traditional wood-fired oven and woodshed, while at the rear a 30 sq.m. garage with two storage rooms offers versatility and could easily be adapted for other non-residential uses. The Land The property unfolds within a vast private park of 5,7 hectares, offering an atmosphere of complete seclusion and serenity. A majestic driveway lined with towering pine trees leads from the automatic gate through the grounds to the main house and its ancillary buildings. The land is composed of woodland, arable fields, and meadows, forming a natural private sanctuary. Near the entrance of the main house, one finds the original low, wide stone steps once used for mounting and dismounting horses — a subtle yet evocative reminder of the estate’s storied past. Beside them stands the base of what was likely a tower, now graced by an olive tree planted as a symbol of enduring peace. The remains of the fortified perimeter wall are still visible at the rear, infusing the estate with a timeless sense of grandeur. From every corner, the panorama is magnificent — rolling hills adorned with Verdicchio vineyards and olive groves, stretching toward the majestic peaks of the Apennines. The History The estate’s origins trace back to the 10th century, when a fortress known as Castrum Aquilae was founded along with other castles in the area. The first record of it dates to 1130. Over the centuries, it was contested between Jesi and Staffolo, until peace was established in 1456. Within the castle walls once stood several churches and monastic dwellings, all but one — the Church of Santa Lucia — were lost to time. This church, cited in the 1285 testament of Count Corrado d’Accola, was almost completely destroyed in 1447 along with the castle itself. Four centuries later, in 1847, it was lovingly restored and reopened for worship. Today, this very church stands once more at the heart of the estate, blending the sacred past with the elegance of contemporary living. The Location Dominating its surroundings with breathtaking 360-degree views, the estate overlooks the medieval villages of Staffolo and Cupramontana, the verdant slopes of Monte San Vicino, and the distant Sibillini Mountains. Despite its secluded and panoramic position, the property is conveniently located less than five minutes by car from Cupramontana — a lively town renowned for its warm community, rich cultural life, and year-round events. For nature lovers, Monte San Vicino offers enchanting trails within a 20-minute drive, while the golden beaches of the Adriatic coast lie just half an hour away — the perfect balance between countryside tranquillity and seaside leisure.
