DESCRIPTION 

Once finished, this will be a truly splendid villa. At the moment it is structurally complete but needs to be finished according to the requirements of the new owner.

This exceptional, traditional country house is suitable for a large family or for a letting activity.It has been partially restored, with loving attention to detail.The current owner - a German – is selling for professional reasons:through work-related changes he now has insufficient time to devote to the project. the ground floor is a cosy apartment with an open fireplace (55 sqm) comprising bedroom, large kitchen with white units and shower-room, also in white with quality fittings.It is immediately habitable.The rest of the house is unfinished.Wherever possible, the original bricks, stones and wooden beams have been re-used in the restoration of the house, giving an open, warm atmosphere.The wonderful, original character of the house would be further enhanced by removing the vanilla-coloured plaster from the exterior walls to reveal the natural stone/brick beneath.


The following work has been completed so far:complete re-roofing, gutters and downpipes installed; new wood-framed windows with shutters throughout,French windows and internal doors.Good quality floor-tiles for laying throughout the house have been purchased and are included.All water and gas central heating pipes have been installed and are ready for connection. Provision for electrical connections and telephone link have been made.A sewage system with biological soak-away has been put in.The area immediately around the house has been re-laid and drainage system prepared.
Special features are the open fire-places, the extremely large rooms, the external, covered stone staircase on the west wall, and the charming attic rooms under the roof. 
The property belongs to the municipality of Barchi, locality of Villa del Monte. The well-known white wine Bianchello del Metauro is produced in and around this interesting medieval village. There are many village shops in the surrounding area and a large hypermarket and modern shopping centre six miles away.
The popular tourist attraction of Urbino, a university town and birthplace of the painter Raphael, is a 25 minute drive, and the commercial town of Pesaro, (birthplace of Rossini) with several places of interest and pretty beaches is a 30 minute drive. The area offers many culturally interesting excursions such as the Furlo ravine (Europe’s deepest canyon, with two tunnels – one Roman and one Etruscan), the excavations at Suasa, and the mediaeval fortified villages of Mondavio, Orciano and Corinaldo.Fano:(historical and culturally interesting seaside resort from Roman times) with beautiful beaches, markets, restaurants and a full range of shopping facilities - 15 minutes by car.

Airport:Ancona Falconara, with daily flights to the UK, is 45 minutes by car.
These facts and the particularly beautiful situation of this country house (set into the gentle green hills of the Marche with extensive unspoilt views over the Metauro valley) make it highly suitable for a tourist activity for which, under certain conditions, regional subsidies are available.
