Listening to a chorale group in the piazza of a Marche hill-town can be a transcendent experience. It’s much like when you first fall in love with Le Marche. It’s literally that “chorus” of great things brought together into an incomparable whole that gets you hooked. There’s a coastal property to restore near Civitanova Alta that’s like a chorus of what you look for in a Le Marche property – sea-views, including the iconic Monte Conero, 3 buildings, 100+ secular olive trees, 2 minutes to town, 5 minutes to the beach, lots of architectural potential and amazing privacy for a coastal home. This property is ready to sing and we call it Casa Coro al Mare – the Chorus by the Sea!
We’re here to sing the praises of Casa Coro al Mare. We love its architectural potential, sea-views, impressive olive grove, plot size, proximity to everything and its remarkable privacy.
The lovely complex of buildings forms a volumetric chorus of sorts – from the unique L-shaped 240 sqm. main house (to be rebuilt) to the two outbuildings (one home to an old pizza/bread oven), the complex provides all the volume you need for a lovely private home or an intimate, ideally located B&B. This building, once rebuilt, can form a sublime duet with the outbuilding that boasts a lovely big arch. Given that Casa Coro al Mare is a terrific restoration candidate, the current organization of the main house is not as important as what you could do there. A 4 bedroom house with lots of lovely original touches is absolutely doable. There are old beams to recover, pianella tiles and lots of other old materials ready to sing a new song.
The views at Casa Coro are lovely – sea views and lush rolling hills. The plot is an astounding 2 hectares (5 acres), a lot of land for a coastal property. It’s situated in such a way that you can enjoy all the sun a coastal location brings, while also have the benefits of some shade. The plot is ideal for a pool. There are over 100 secular (old, mature) olive trees on the plot. There’s a well. The setting is tranquil, peaceful, unspoiled and private. This much land, all those olive trees and those lovely views are are in high demand and short supply, meaning that aside from the good living you’ll do here, you’ll also be investing in something that will gain in value…much as you can’t start a great choir in day, you simply can’t create more properties like this one in this sort of location.
To emphasize the point, it’s important to note that coastal properties are often an exercise in trade-offs and can be fraught with sub-optimal things like electrical pylons or light industry in view, or neighbors, rail lines and autostradas that are too close. At Casa Coro there is not a single objectionable thing, a rarity for a coastal property.
The location of Casa Coro is outstanding – you get the best of countryside living with proximity to the sea. You’re a 2-minute drive or 20-minute walk to Civitanova Alta, a culturally-rich and classic hill-town sitting just above the Adriatic Sea. Montecosaro is just 3-4 minutes away. The bustling seaside city of Civitanova – with its stylish shops, dozens of restaurants, big piazza and all services – is 5 minutes down the hill from Casa Coro al Mare. You’re under 7-8 minutes to the nearest beach. Surrounding Casa Coro al Mare are some of Le Marche’s most refined hill-top towns – Montelupone, Morrovalle, Recanati and Potenza Picena. Within a half hour of you’re on the slopes of iconic Monte Conero, a mountain that slopes down to the Adriatic Sea, boasting panoramic views and award-winning vineyards. You’re also close to the famed beaches at Numana, Sirolo and Portonovo. The Ancona airport is around 35 minutes’ drive and the main train station at Civitanova Marche is under 10 minutes away.
So, are you ready to be the soloist with an amazing chorus of the best Le Marche has to offer? The stage is set, at Casa Coro al Mare!
