3 bedrooms country house, 238 m²

Sarnano, Macerata (province)

Designer Country house with swimming pool

Nestled in the valley at the foot of the Sibillini Mountains, with the mountains providing a picturesque backdrop and a stream running alongside its boundaries, this meticulously restored stone farmhouse combines authentic rural Marche architecture with a bold and contemporary interior design.

This property of rare character offers much more than a home: a lifestyle to be lived, or a sound investment in the green heart of the Marche region.

The 120-square-metre property, spread over two levels, is surrounded by a spacious 650-square-metre garden with a swimming pool. The location guarantees privacy and direct contact with nature, with every comfort thought out down to the smallest detail. Exposed stone walls, original wooden beams and wooden floors interact with a deliberately unconventional and modern interior design featuring three-dimensional wallpaper and elements of design and colour.

GROUND FLOOR
The open-plan kitchen and dining area on the ground floor forms the heart of the home: a designer kitchen island with a hob and pendant lighting defines the space, whilst stone walls, ceilings with LED-lit beams and a wood-burning stove create a sophisticated yet cosy atmosphere. A second living room, featuring floor-to-ceiling botanical wallpaper, offers a fully immersive visual experience; here, the sofa bed allows for the creation of a third bedroom when needed, aided by the presence of an elegant glass shower enclosure. On the same level are a bathroom and the utility/laundry room.

FIRST FLOOR
An internal staircase leads to the sleeping area, where each bedroom has been designed as a space unto itself. The master bedroom features a striking floral mural covering every wall and is accessible directly from the garden via an external staircase, ensuring convenience and privacy. The second bedroom, with its cobalt blue painted ceiling and beams, is a spacious twin room, full of character and light. A shower room clad in warm wood, finished to boutique hotel standards, completes the floor.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
The property was fully renovated in 2025 to the highest seismic and energy standards, whilst preserving its historic character. A home automation system allows for the remote control of lighting, heating, shutters, the swimming pool and the lawnmower. A 6 kW photovoltaic system with a storage battery, underfloor heating and air conditioning in the bedrooms give the house an A2 energy rating, ensuring efficiency, self-sufficiency and comfort in every season.

OUTDOOR SPACES
The outdoor areas have also been designed with meticulous attention to detail. A paved terrace runs along two sides of the house, creating a dining and barbecue area on one side and an outdoor seating area for afternoon relaxation on the other. A large 9 x 4 metre rectangular swimming pool with integrated steps across its full width is flanked by a spacious poolside terrace with sun loungers and a white sail-shaped pergola with curtains. The heated pool, complete with an automatic cover, ensures comfortable use on cooler evenings and during the winter months. At night, the architectural lighting transforms the property: the illuminated pool glows blue against the stone façade, and the garden comes to life thanks to skilfully positioned spotlights.

The property also includes a covered carport with space for two cars, located next to the house.

The garden of 2997 mq. enjoys the natural shade of tall trees such as weeping willows, cypresses and oaks. A small wooden bridge leads to a private beach overlooking the stream that runs alongside the property, a secret spot where you can let the water lull you on the hottest days and feel at one with the surrounding nature.

For those seeking a tangible financial return, the property is naturally well-suited for use as a high-end accommodation facility, given its track record of summer rentals due to its proximity...
