il sorger del sole, a magical ancient stone farmhouse commands a privileged and coveted position, beautifully set in about 1.7 Ha (4¼ acres) with aged olive groves. It provides a sense of retreat which is exhilarating. Immersed in a stunning location, surrounded by nature it has unsurpassed panoramic vistas. 33km’s to beaches. 30 minutes to Ancona international airport and only 5km’s to the medieval town of Cingoli famed as the ‘Balcony of Le Marche’, for olive oil and surrounding nature.
Facing east south east, golden fingers of early sunlight glint softly on the golden stone farmhouse and olive groves.
With an aura of serenity, its outdoor spaces, terraced gardens and olive groves provide a sanctuary to re-connect with nature and fulfil holistic and spiritual needs. Peaceful and undisturbed with deer, squirrels, pheasants, porcupines, foxes, badgers, hoopoe, owls, nightingales, canaries and distant church bells.
il sorger del sole constructed with two-metre-thick golden sandstone walls during the late 1600’s early 1700’s in the former hamlet of St. Georges’ Hill. The farmhouse with exposed stonework has original hand made oak doors, hand hewed oak beams, ceiling tiles etcetera. It has an insulated roof, PVC double glazed windows and external doors. The spacious accommodation some 230m² comprises: ground floor with two guest rooms with independent entrances, private bathrooms and an additional ‘cantina’ which could be converted into a further en-suite bedroom, under stair storage room, bread oven which could be re-used and single garage. Ancient stone steps with loggia lead to the first floor with lounge, bedroom with en-suite bathroom/utility room and a large open plan kitchen/dining area. Wooden stairs rise to the second floor with office and galleried bedroom. Access is from a council maintained ‘white road’ via black iron entrance gates onto a large gravelled drive. There is a working well and log store. The original terraced gardens are well stocked with fruit trees, bushes and shrubs. About 100 olive trees including rare ‘Mignola’ trees are used to produce own label extra virgin olive oil.
The local area is being developed with new property construction in the nearby villages of Avenale, Troviggiano and Grottaccia which ultimately will further enhance the investment potential of il sorger del sole. The owners have run the property as a bespoke 5-star B&B since 2007 with an international clientele. Their extra virgin olive oil has been endorsed by Michelin starred chefs. The property and land are easily managed, with local farmers available to tend the land. The owners live in the property all year.
With very low outgoings, low maintenance and incomes from the B&B and olive oil, there is ample space to grow ‘cash crops’ or own produce, keep livestock and enjoy a really good lifestyle inexpensively. It has wood burning stoves, mains water, zoned mains electricity and septic tank.
