Exclusive stone cottage perched over the hills
Vendors' thoughts: “It’s always been inspiring to combine country life with cultural and social activities. A 20 min drive separates the house from the popular town of Urbino, its historic centre being a UNESCO world heritage, and hosting one of Italy’s top-performing universities. It’s easy to get around the area whether walking, cycling or driving. The house is in very good condition with period features beautifully maintained: it exudes a sense of history, the solidity of the structure gives a sense of stability and timelessness.”

‘Casale dei Folletti’ (Elves Cottage) is an exclusive stone cottage near the centre of Urbania.
It was completely renovated in 2002 and is in excellent condition. With a perfect south facing location over the hills and valleys, the cottage is only 5 minutes’ drive to all amenities.
The land around the property (1,700 sqm) is almost totally fenced with potential for a swimming pool. There is also a small annex used as a tool shed and a water storage tank.
The main entrance is through a traditional stone porch,
bringing a timeless charm, a sense of permanence and strength to the house for homeowners who value durability as much as style.
Once inside, another timeless feature catches the eye: a jaw-dropping stone walk-in fireplace in a bright sitting room.
There is also a spacious kitchen and a bathroom on the ground floor while as the 4 bedrooms and a bathroom are on the upper floor.
Retaining walls have been recently reinforced. Radiators powered by pellet boiler keep the house warm in winter months while in summer the air conditioning is powered by 3.4kW solar panel system.
The property is sold fully furnished.
