Montelparo, Marche, Address available on request

An imposing country house set in 7.2 hectares of land, with all the style of a traditional farmhouse but built only 14 years ago to the highest eco standard (A4). An oasis of tranquility and privacy with landscaped gardens, vineyards, chlorine-free swimming pool with  stunning  views. 

Just 3 kms from the charming medieval town of Montelparo, the house is ideally situated down its own tree-lined drive, to the front gates with large gravel parking area. The fully fenced gardens have been professionally landscaped with garden lighting. They include wildflower banks, children's amphitheater, organic kitchen garden, fruit trees as well as over 60 mature olive trees for your own olive oil production. 

The land surrounding the property is one of the key attractions.

This family-run business produces a range of award-winning Doc wines.
