Country House, Filottrano, 60024

Overview

Sizeable, secluded and potential-filled: a country house for those with a vision.

Vendors' thoughts: "Early in the noughties we made up our minds to buy this bolthole located in a very secluded spot. Ever since, it has been nothing short of a sancturay providing us the spot-on getaway from the hustle and bustle of Milan. Breathtaking landscapes, lush meadows, likewise the deep connection with nature have been conducive for rekindling what matters most! Birds' chirps start off the day, while at the crack of dawn light spills over the hills. At night, reddish-hues sunsets create unforgettable moments of serenity. Filottrano and its neighbouring towns have also given us the opportunity for experiencing the warmth of the local communities as well as tasting the delicious cuisine. We hope the next owners will find the same joy and peace we have.”

Tucked away in the rolling hills of Filottrano, this quintessential country house offers a perfect blend of rural charm and timeless elegance. Hemmed in by gentle landscapes, the property captures the essence of Italian countryside living, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking peacefulness and authenticity. Bricks and terracotta run throughout exuding a warm, rustic soul. Exposed wooden beams and a welcoming fireplace are just some of the features that add to its timeless appeal. The main house unfolds on two floors linked via an outer staircase and stretching over a generous 400 sqm of habitable space. The ground floor, formerly used as barn, welcomes you with large rooms bathed by natural light. It is in need of a lovely repair and could be transformed into a spacious living area with a lounge, dining room, and open-plan kitchen, each with large windows framing the surrounding views.

Up under the eaves, a large and high-ceilinged living area featuring wooden beams and floorboards create a welcoming atmosphere. As you step into it, you realise how the space is well-lit, thanks to a string of several windows. A corridor leads off to the sleeping area which comprises four rooms and a bathroom. The heating system only runs across the first floor an is fuelled by an underground tank in the courtyard.

A 40 sqm attic currently used as study/cloakroom is an additional space that could be pretty useful in case of an all-out renovation. 

This country house brims with opportunities for those with vision and creativity: the main house, with its generous floor area, provides ample room to tailor-make your dream home, or establish a business venture. Its versatile layout can be bespoke to suit a variety of needs, whether as a private residence, a boutique bed and breakfast, or a wellness retreat.

The 120 sqm annex adds an exciting dimension, ideal for creating a private guest house or extending the hospitality offering. With thoughtful renovations, this space could become a luxurious spa, an inviting poolside retreat, or a charming rental unit to generate additional income.

The property’s grounds offer ample space for a swimming pool and outdoor entertaining areas, enhancing its appeal for relaxation and leisure. The inclusion of a spa could further elevate the ambiance, making it a haven for rest and rejuvenation.

With the right investment and imagination, this fixer-upper presents an unparalleled chance to craft a bespoke property that seamlessly combines comfort, style, and potential for a lucrative venture.

While the house is structurally sound, it requires modernization and updating to meet contemporary standards. This presents an exciting opportunity for the buyer to customize every nook and cranny, from finishes to layouts, for a truly bespoke home. Outside, a 120 sqm annexe in poor condition has a tremendous potential: it may be converted into a charming guest cottage, a studio, or even a pool house, depending on your vision.
