A Timeless Retreat in the Verdant Hills of Montelupone, Le Marche

Nestled amidst the gentle undulations of the Marche countryside, this exquisite farmhouse estate offers an idyllic blend of rural charm and contemporary potential. Located just a leisurely two-minute stroll from the historic centre of Montelupone—one of Italy’s most beautiful borghi—this property presents a rare opportunity to embrace the tranquillity of the Italian countryside without sacrificing proximity to essential amenities.

Comprising a principal residence of approximately 185 sq.m., a former barn of 125 sq.m, and an enchanting bread oven with subterranean cellar, the estate is gracefully set within 3140 sq.m. of private land, generously adorned with mature olive trees and a flourishing orchard.

The Farmhouse

From the moment you arrive, the property exudes a sense of timeless style and possibility. The sweeping views extend from the medieval walls of Montelupone to the shimmering waters of the Adriatic Sea and the distant silhouette of Monte Conero. Whether envisioned as a serene family home or an exclusive holiday retreat, this is a place where life unfolds at a gentler pace, guided by the rhythms of nature and the beauty of the landscape.

The heart of the estate, the main farmhouse, extends over approximately 185 sq.m. arranged across two levels. Every corner of this home has been thoughtfully designed to harmonise comfort with rural character.

Ground Floor:

A welcoming entrance opens directly into the living area, perfect for relaxation or entertaining. To the right, a spacious and light-filled kitchen, complete with a dining area, offers direct access to the garden, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. This level also features a well-appointed guest bathroom and a convenient laundry room, ensuring practicality blends effortlessly with style. A charming 14 sq.m. portico provides an intimate, shaded alcove—an ideal setting to savour an apéritif as the sun sets down.

First Floor:

This floor accommodates three well-proportioned bedrooms, a dedicated study that may easily serve as a guest bedroom, and a family bathroom. The study’s configuration also allows for the effortless addition of a second bathroom, should one desire. Panoramic vistas grace each room: some gazing towards the hilltop village of Montelupone, others opening to the rolling countryside, the distant Monte Conero, and the azure expanse of the Adriatic Sea.

The Annexes

Complementing the main residence are two annexes offering further potential. The former hay barn, measuring approximately 125 sq.m., awaits restoration and imagination—whether transformed into an additional guest residence, atelier, or an expansive storage space for gardening pursuits.

In addition, a quaint structure houses an authentic wood-fired bread oven. Below, a traditional underground cellar offers a cool, secure space ideal for wine storage or culinary preserves—an evocative nod to the region’s rich gastronomic heritage.

The Garden

Encompassing 3.140 sq.m., the garden is a haven of verdant tranquillity. Forty olive trees bask in an optimal south-facing position, offering the enticing prospect of producing one’s own organic olive oil. An orchard, rich with seasonal fruits, invites a life in harmony with the land—morning walks to gather sun-ripened figs, afternoons spent beneath the shade of ancient trees.

The outdoor spaces are designed to embrace al fresco living at its finest, whether dining under the pergola, reading beneath the olive branches, or tending to the land with gentle care.

The Location

This enchanting estate enjoys a privileged position: serenely private and panoramic, yet only a two-minute walk from the charming centre of Montelupone. Here, you will find a full array of daily conveniences—cafés, artisanal shops, grocers, banks, and welcoming trattorias—imbued with the warmth of authentic Italian village life.

From the garden and many windows, there are glimpses of the glittering sea on the horizon, with the golden sands of the Adriatic coast reachable in just fifteen minutes by car. For international travel and connectivity, Ancona’s airport lies a convenient forty-minute drive away, placing the wider world effortlessly within reach while preserving the peaceful seclusion of this rural retreat.
