This week's property of the week is a chance not only to own a beautiful home in the Italian countryside, but also the opportunity to own a piece of history. This manor house in the Marche region dates back to the early 19th century and originally belonged to a famous Piedmontese noble family, that of Count Scarfiotti.
The 600m2 villa was completely renovated in the late 1980s by an entrepreneur of Venetian origin, who commissioned the restoration to the Master Architect Prof. Gobbis from Venice. His work in this wonderful property has clear Venetian influences visible in the structure of the interior and in the materials used, including marble, wrought iron and Murano glass, while the villa is the perfect location for those who love nature and want to relax away from the city with a beautiful garden including a large swimming pool on the 30,000m2 estate.
The extensive renovation and the wonderful location of this property has given the ancient house a unique beauty and refined style within a rural environment typical of the Marche region. The main villa, the heart of the property, is developed over 3 floors and consists of a majestic entrance, a large furnished dining room, a spacious kitchen, a living room, study, reading or games room, a TV room, service bathroom, wardrobe, tea room and a gym.
The sleeping area on the first floor is home to 7 bedrooms with beautiful views of the surrounding landscape, while the attic floor consists of a further 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, as well as a terrace with stunning panoramic views.
The finishing touch on this wonderful estate is a private church which has been consecrated for official ceremonies and is a truly unique and charming feature. This wonderful piece of Italian history could be yours, now for sale on idealista for 4,300,000 euros.
