A Contemporary Country Retreat in the Heart of the Marche Countryside

Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Potenza Picena, this exquisite country estate presents an extraordinary opportunity to embrace the quintessential Italian lifestyle. Less than one kilometre by car—or a mere 500 metres on foot via a charming country path—separates this refined haven from the historic centre of Potenza Picena. Here, tranquillity meets convenience, offering a perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility.

Spanning a generous 348 sq.m., with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the main villa stands as a testament to modern eco-conscious design, accompanied by a 47 sq.m. annex awaiting transformation. Enveloped by one 3.300 sq.m. of mature grounds, this property promises an exclusive sanctuary where ancient olive trees, towering cypresses, and verdant foliage create an atmosphere of privacy and timeless beauty.

The Villa

This splendid 348 sqm residence is the result of a meticulous demolition and reconstruction, crafted entirely from wood according to the highest principles of sustainable architecture and energy efficiency. The villa rises gracefully over three levels, offering versatile spaces flooded with natural light and enriched by panoramic vistas stretching to the medieval hilltop villages of Recanati, Loreto and Montelupone, undulating valleys, and the distant Sibillini Mountains.

Ground Floor:

the main entrance opens into an expansive living area. To the left, a vast open-plan space harmoniously unites a sophisticated sitting room with a modern kitchen and dining area, both framed by French windows that seamlessly connect the interiors to the manicured gardens. To the right, a second living area—designed as a double lounge—offers a cosy retreat, also with direct garden access through additional French windows. Completing this level is a spacious guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, as well as a refined guest cloakroom.

First Floor:

It presents a generous and versatile room, ideal as a further living area, a home office, an atelier, or to be turned into an opulent master suite complete with walk-in wardrobe and private bath. In addition, three further bedrooms grace this floor: a twin bedroom, a double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, and a spacious master bedroom featuring its own en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. An additional family bathroom serves the remaining rooms. A retractable staircase provides access to the attic, offering practical storage space of approximately 48 sq.m. calculated for an internal height ranging from 1.8m up to a maximum of 2.22m (top of the roof).

A key highlight of this thoughtfully designed home in Marche is its flexible layout. Whether enjoyed as a single-family villa or divided into two self-contained apartments—thanks to an independent external staircase and the adaptability of the first-floor central space into a living room and kitchen—the property offers boundless potential.

The advantages of this newly built timber home are manifold: ecological and sustainable materials, exceptional energy efficiency, and cutting-edge technologies. A ventilated roof, fully insulated perimeter walls, photovoltaic panels for electricity and hot water, and underfloor heating ensure optimal thermal comfort year-round, eliminating humidity and reducing energy costs significantly.

The Annex

Complementing the main villa is a charming 47 sqm annex, ripe for restoration. This versatile outbuilding holds immense potential: it could be transformed into a stylish pool house complete with a barbecue area, a secure garage, or an inspiring studio or yoga space.

Its proximity to the main residence and garden enhances its usability, adding further value and charm to the estate.

The Garden

The property is gracefully set within 3.300 sqm of fully enclosed parkland. Mature, towering trees provide both shade and shelter, creating a refreshing microclimate during the warmer months.

With ample space to install a swimming pool, the garden is a verdant oasis where you can host elegant outdoor gatherings, relax in secluded tranquillity, or cultivate an abundant vegetable patch or orchard. This natural setting offers a seamless extension of the villa’s refined interiors.

The Location

This exclusive residence in Marche occupies a privileged, private, yet not isolated location. Surrounded by nature and breathtaking views, the villa is just a 10-minute walk—through an enchanting woodland path—from the charming historic centre of Potenza Picena. Alternatively, it’s a swift five-minute drive. Here, you will find all the essential services for daily life: traditional cafés, grocery shops, fine dining restaurants, banks, and more.

The azure Adriatic coast lies a mere 10-minute drive away, offering pristine beaches and seaside leisure. Ancona’s international airport is conveniently reached in just 40 minutes, ensuring effortless connections to major European cities. Potenza Picena itself is a jewel of the Marche region, steeped in history, art, and local traditions. Its authentic atmosphere, coupled with a warm community spirit, makes it an idyllic setting for both permanent residence and holiday retreats. Life here is punctuated by festivals, cultural events, and the simple pleasures of local markets and fine regional cuisine.
