Monte San Martino — Farmhouse 2

Set in unspoilt countryside with a sweeping view of the Sibillini mountains — five minutes from the centre of Monte San Martino, on a good council road — this is an exclusive turnkey reconstruction of a traditional Marche farmhouse with its own vineyard.

The design brings together the local building tradition — stone and render outside, a traditional tiled roof, timber-beamed ceilings — with modern anti-seismic standards and the latest high-efficiency building services.

Ground floor

A large portico for summer living, a generous sitting room with fireplace, open kitchen with dining area, study or double bedroom, bathroom, laundry, pantry and plant room. Wide panoramic glazing and a pergola at the entrance.

First floor

Master suite with its own bathroom (shower and freestanding bath), walk-in wardrobe and a loggia looking out to the Sibillini mountains; two further large double bedrooms and a second shared bathroom.

In total

Four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Buying while works are under way, and the tax opportunity

Buying at this stage means choosing finishes, materials and colours to your own taste, without the paperwork, the unforeseen costs or the work of coordinating surveyors and trades. Monte San Martino is also one of the municipalities covered by the 7% flat-rate tax scheme for foreign pensioners who move to the central Apennines.
