Ancient monastery transformed into a residence of discreet luxury
This exquisitely restored 6-bedroom old monastery and adjoining chapel is a property that is out of the ordinary and entirely in harmony with the peaceful and beautiful rural environment in which it is set.
Built in the 18th century, the recent restoration of the main building and the adjoining consecrated chapel has been masterfully executed both in the choice of materials, such as terracotta floors and oak-beamed ceilings, and in the functional layout of the spaces that give all rooms a breathtaking view over the garden and the surrounding unspoiled nature.
On the ground floor, a corridor runs through the house, separating on one side the living area with large drawing room with fireplace and elegant dining room, TV room and study, and on the other, the chapel with a cloakroom in the former sacristy, guest bathroom and laundry room. On the same floor are the kitchen and a second, more informal dining room also with fireplace. A wide staircase leads to the upper floor, with master bedroom with en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, 3 double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The 2nd floor consists of 2 more double bedrooms and a bathroom.
The strategically positioned 5 x 12 m swimming pool enjoys a splendid, wide view over the hills of this marvelous region. The landscaped and manicured, lawned garden is patched with flowery borders and ancient trees. Within the property there is also a barn, currently used as a technical room plus parking space, that could be converted into a 2-storey cottage. In addition to the partially fenced garden, there is 1.8 ha of land including a vineyard that needs attention and woodland.
Access to the property is very easy via an asphalted road and the closest village of Apiro is 4,5 km away. The airport of Ancona and the motorway A14 are about 45km away whereas the closest beaches are a few kms further.
