The location:
The house is situated on a gently protected hill in a 3.5 hectare property with a particularly picturesque view to the south, east and west. The terrain rises in the north and thus protects against the colder north winds. The special location and view leads to deep rest and relaxation. This situation immediately attracted us. The idyllic medieval town of Cossignano is only 3 km away, there are also small shops for everyday needs. Montalto delle Marche, lies in the other direction and is slightly larger.
The original farmhouse was in such poor condition that it could not be saved. The new house was built in the style of the Markian farmhouses. The overall design is characterized by high rooms and a relatively flat roof. Typical are the outside stairs that lead to a roof terrace, a large covered terrace in the style of arcades, and the roofing with old tiles in "monk and nun". The apartment has an extra terrace to the west.
The interior of the main house was deliberately calm and bright. It is characterized by a spacious light-flooded room on the ground floor, from which large double doors open to the terrace to the south and one door to the east. So you bring the dream landscape into the house. The terrace protects against the sun.
The room is divided into the kitchen, dining and living area. In the fully equipped kitchen (stove, dishwasher, washing machine) there are two flexible induction stoves, which you can also plug into the sockets on the terrace to cook outside.
A stone staircase leads to the sleeping area. There are three south-facing bedrooms, each with a double bed, two bathrooms with showers and a lounge area. From the corner room and the lounge corner, doors open onto the large south-west terrace.
An overgrown small vineyard in the east, 15 old olive trees that bring excellent olive oil, fruit trees (apples, cherries, figs, pears, naschi (apple-pear fruit, etc.), herbs (rosemary, lavender) are already available. New plantings in 2014: Extension of the olive grove to around 100 trees, citrus fruits and other fruit trees.
