It’s the house of the Padrone…the well-to-do land owner, the person who ruled the valley and the adjacent hills. It’s an important house – big, private, well-positioned, with great views and clearly a house with a history. It’s special amongst Marche Properties for its huge and varied restoration potential…This house was once very important. It will be again, just this time YOU will be the padrone…so, naturally, we call this Le Marche Property “Casa Del Padrone”.

NOTE: All ruins-to-restore are built to provide best-in-class earthquake resistance, energy efficiency, insulation and damp-proofing.  All works are custom-designed to your specifications and final results are certified.  Most ruins can be restored to large villas or “right-sized/budget-friendly” homes. 

Casa Del Padrone has it all. This was the house of the well-to-do landowner. It’s impressive. It’s got classic arched doorways and other lovely architectural touches. A local architect recently told me that very few houses of this stature remain for sale in the area. Casa Del Padrone is big – 500+ sq mt of space over two floors. The structure is all stone and brick with beams and terra cotta tiles throughout – all recoverable for the restoration.

Casa Del Padrone’s size is great for people who want it, and it’s a none issue for people who don’t. Let’s explain. The price of Casa Padrone means it’s priced like any other ruin to restore. So, if you love the spot and the views and you want a 200 sqm. house, GREAT, you’ve got a deal. If, instead, you want to run a B&B…or, you’re an extended family that wants to build two houses, or, you’d like a big villa in the Marche countryside – GREAT, you can follow all these plans or any others, for that matter, that start at 100 sqm and end north of 600 sqm.! Flexibility is the key – you can do as much, or as little, as you’d like and the entry cost of €125,000 is remarkable given the location, the volume and the views.

The well-to-do land owner of the past loved great views just as much as the house hunter of the present . Casa Del Padrone has GREAT views. The house sits on a very private plot – the road ends at the house. Off to one side you see the Sibillini Mountains…to the other, you look out over endless rolling hills and valleys all the way to the sea. You see fields of sunflowers and you see the elegant provincial capital of Macerata, the old Roman outpost of Urbisaglia and a number of smaller towns and bell towers. The house is surrounded by fields and has a private olive grove of beautiful and mature olive trees. This combination of mountains, rolling hills, verdant valleys and hilltop towns make this view one even a modern-day padrone will love.

Add to all this the fact that the house is located 10 minutes from the cultural and commercial center of Tolentino and the SS77 Superstrada that gets you to the coast (east) or to Rome, Umbria and Tuscany (head west). When you want to visit the provincial capital, Macerata, (instead of just viewing it from your land), it and it’s famed opera, university quarter, restaurants and elegant shops are just 20 minutes away. If you’re in the mood for something smaller and more laid back, it’s 10 minutes to the classic hill towns of San Ginesio, Urbisaglia and Colmurano.

While we rarely get excited about price, we are VERY excited in this case – a noteworthy house, over 500 sqm. of space, fantastic quantities of material for the restoration, lots of land available and priceless views – all for an asking price of €79k – do some comparison shopping on the web and you’ll see what we mean. So, instead dreaming about the house of the padrone, at Casa Del Padrone you OWN it and let others do the dreaming.
