Le Marche, Pesaro e Urbino, Cagli, Italy

Set between Urbino and Gubbio in the Marche countryside, this restored 18th-century farmhouse and annex sit on 27 hectares of fields, woodland and olive groves, with sweeping views of the Apennine peaks.

The main house (442 sqm) pairs a private residence with an independent guest apartment — living room with fireplace, covered veranda, and a first-floor suite with kitchen, dining room and three bedrooms. The rebuilt annex adds three self-contained apartments (168 sqm total), each with its own veranda, ideal for guests or rental income.

Restored in 2008–2010 with anti-seismic reinforcement, ventilated foundations and bio-building techniques, the property runs on pellet heating and solar thermal — no gas. A 12x6m pool (2010), bocce court, archery area and barbecue complete the outdoor spaces, alongside a former lake basin with restoration potential.

Just 5km down an unpaved road for privacy, yet close to Urbino (UNESCO), Gubbio, and the Frasassi Caves — a turnkey agriturismo or private retreat in one of Italy's most authentic regions.
