Why buy a country home in the country? The air that we breath in the city seems to be more and more unbreathable and the levels of our quality of life, even though we have everything at hand, become lower and lower.
The writer and playwright Johann Wolfgang von Goethe worded it wonderfully:
“Sounds of village joy arise; Here is the people’s paradise, contented, great and small shout joyfully: “Here I am Man, here dare it to be!” (Faust, translation by Edgar Alfred Bowring, 1853).
The benefits of living in a country home
The city, with its lights and sounds, often does not allow us that amount of peace, typical of the countryside, the hills and the villages, reminiscent of the ancestral contact of man and nature.
At Marche Country Homes we know that one of the many reasons why our clients contact us is because living in Le Marche means to them exactly this: space, freedom, quiet, and fresh air.
Many foreigners combine together the useful and the joyful by purchasing a house to live in it as well as to also rent part or all of it to other foreigners.
The contemporary world is constantly connected, on the move, on different wavelengths: quietness is removed from our time. But still, many look for it, because even if we cannot give up our job, being surrounded by a verdant landscape, maybe overhanging the sea, is relaxing in a way that can be felt. It’s a fact, to live and to breath in the open air, far from areas polluted by smog and particulate matter is a panacea for body and mind.
A country home is a residence that can be enjoyed under every aspect: often surrounded by a green garden, it allows to enrich our days with open air activities: from lunches and dinners under the porch to a swim in the property swimming pool.
Not everyone can live for 12 months among the hills but Le Marche, that enjoy fine weather and sunny day almost all year round, can become a second home, winning over in a short time everyone’s heart.
With their wonders, from the sea to the mountains, from the infinitely coloured fields to the boroughs that seem to be suspended in time, their beauty is rare and unique: truly a gem in the very heart of Italy, never falling short of expectations.
Le Marche through time and space
Things have changed quite a lot, since when we started our activity: finding ruins was once very easy, one only needed to follow the ridge of a single hill and could easily find even ten houses, one after the other. Buying a country home was easy. Now we must search high and low!
In a period of twenty years people from all over the world came to buy a house in Le Marche; Germans, Swiss, Americans, Belgians, British, Swedish, Australians, just to mention a few, because buying a house in Italy is not risky (read in more detail on this page), the law provides ample protection to both seller and buyer. Let’s say that possibly the law regarding the purchase of a property in our country is one of those that work swiftly and is far simpler than expected.
Moreover, we can say that in Le Marche, a rather vast region inhabited by little more than one million people, everything works fine perhaps also thanks to the low population density. Compared to elsewhere particular attention is paid to preserving the natural surroundings.
Other than that, the numerous natural attractions that render Le Marche their unique characteristic are not the only places of interest: there are young, vibrant and easily reachable cities in our territory, that can offer fun and leisure all year round.
Thus, it goes without saying that obtaining permission to build, while providing to maintain the historical characteristics of the building, is simple and linear.
Obviously, one has to entrust the task in the hands of professionals who work on the territory, knowing for how long they have been practicing the job, because the person who is in charge of this type of project, be the main residence or the second home for a client, must be a specialist in constructions, with a deep knowledge of the place, in order to both respect and derive maximum value from it.
In the countryside, silence is never truly silent: there is always the chirrup of cicadas, the chirping of birds, a flutter of wings, the hum of an insect, a fast rustling in the grass, the dripping of a drop of water. And yet, there is no silence more beautiful.
(Fabrizio Caramagna)
Renovating a country home
