description
Outstandingly beautiful is the position of this semi-dettached farmhouse (bricks, about a hundred years old) with a 5000 square meter garden. The property has been carefully restored by a German couple of physicians who regrettingly resell because their career in Germany does not give them enough time to use it as often as they initially expected. 
The house settles on a hill high above the Metauro valley with spectacular views over historical fortress villages and a breathtaking landscape right to the Adriatic sea. Although the surroundings are absolutely quiet in the middle of fields, meadows and old oak  trees, it is only 2 kilometres away from the charming pottery village of FRATTE ROSA. 
The other half of the building meticulously restored with antique materials belongs to a very nice  Italian couple of teachers and is used as a weekend residence only. In walking distance an "Agriturismo" (small Bed&Breakfast activity) producing finest olive oil and running a cosy little restaurant serving traditional local food.
The first floor is completely restored with the typical kitchen/lounge combination and fireplace, two further rooms and a bath. The ground floor consists of a large restored room with access to the garden. The former wine cellar and an ajacent room are not ready yet, but can be easily transformed into further living space, i.e. a kitchen, utility rooms, a second bathroom and an interior staircase. So far the two floors are connected by a characteristic external stone staircase with a little terrace on top.
This property is a real bargain, ready-to-move-in and ideal as a holiday home for a couple or a small family. The ground floor could also be rented out to friends and tourists.
 It  is part of the pretty village of FRATTE ROSA which dates back to the 9th century towering the impressive landscape in 419 metres above sea level. Because of its strategically important position this fortress village which is still surrounded by its original city wall has always been of special interest to the  various noble families of Le Marche and consequently a very special flair. The biggest attraction of this very special place are the various potteries, in the old times supplying houshold accessories, nowadays producing high-class arts and crafts. 
Traffic links and connections: There are lots of possibilities for those seeking contact with the locals drinking a glass of good wine. Fratte Rosa has two nice restaurants and offers quite a few theatre-, costume and summer festivals. The villages Sant`Ippolito (specialized in the art of stone masons and sculpture and thereby closely related) and Barchi with one of the most important vineyards of the area (producer of excellent BIANCHELLO white wine) and quite a choice of  traditional restaurants can be reached in a few minutes by car. The nearest township is Fossombrone with an interesting background of architecture, culture and history and pretty markets, shops, cinema and some lovely ice-cream and coffee-shops.Urbino also renowned because of its history and culture (birthplace of the painter RAPHAEL) can be reached in twenty minutes just like Fano a fascinating seaside town, holiday resort and biggest fishing harbour of the Adriatic Sea offering all sorts of entertainment conceivable. Senegallia with its top restaurants, its fabolous beach and the beautiful old city can be reached within15 minutes.
Ancona Airport with daily international flights (amongst them RYAN AIR) can be reached in 40 minutes, Bologna-Forli (also RYAN-AIR and various economy airlines) is 90 minutes away.
