Casa Rosa beautiful detached farmhouse in Le Marche

This authentically restored farmhouse is positioned within walking distance of the popular historic town of Loro Piceno. The outlook to the south of the house is stunning, with a wide panoramic view of rolling farmland and cultivated hills. While to the north, you can enjoy the breathtaking views of the town nestled in the surrounding countryside.

The farmhouse itself is set over 3 floors, each of which is 100 sqm. A combined kitchen & dining room on the ground floor looks out through French windows onto the loggia, where during the many warm months of the year, you can dine al fresco, while ceiling fans circulate the air keeping you cool.

The other side of the central entrance leads to a large sitting room with its traditional fireplace. Four large French windows make this a pleasant, light & airy room.

Climbing to the upper floors by the central, internal staircase, one finds a handsome master bedroom and ensuite bathroom and, just across the hall, two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom. An additional double bedroom with a spectacular view is located on the top floor.

The land surrounding the house comprises of 4000 sq m of cultivated garden with planting beds, lawns and mature trees. A pristine 5 m x 12 m salt water pool lies to the south and looks out onto the wide valley below and to the hills beyond.

Coast/Beach

The property is located approx 40 mins from the closest beach Civitanova, other beaches such as Porto San Georgio and Conero are approx 50 mins to 1hr away. Le Marche is blessed with the wonderful Adriatic coast line, the beaches are clean (blue flag) and child friendly. You can hire sunbeds & umbreallas for the day, for approx €8 per person, or seek out the free beaches & take your own equipment. It is a must to have a fish lunch overlooking the sea while sampling some chilled verdicchio wine (local to the region). There are many bars, pizzerias, fine restaurants and gelaterie (ice cream shops) to explore right along the coast and the night life is worth sampling.

Lake

Being just outside the Sibilini national park, a trip to Lago di Fiastra (approx 40 mins) is well worth it to cool off in the summer months, it's far less busy than the coast and the water is very refreshing on a hot summers day. There is a local bar & restaurant for lunch and you can hire pedalos and boats to go out onto the lake.

Activities

There is a golf course within a 15-20 min drive. As we are close to the Sibilini national park, there is an abundance of outdoor activites to try such as trekking, horse riding, hiking, mountain biking, hand gliding, balloon rides and skiing & snow boarding in the winter months
