Farmhouses for sale in the province of Ancona

There are simply so many farmhouses for sale in the province of Ancona, and all of them are somehow unique. With its population of 470,000 inhabitants, the eponymous capital of the Marche region covers a large area, but thanks to its vast and still highly unspoilt hinterland – outside of the urban sprawl – such a location means it would be easy to find the ideal farmhouse for you and your family. Let’s look at why this province could be the perfect fit for you, and what properties are on the market in the area.

The province of Ancona: discovering the capital of le Marche

Ancona is the most populous city in the Le Marche region and is also its capital. Despite its dominance, there are innumerable hamlets, small towns and villages within the region, as well as the hilly and mountainous hinterland – which represent 34% of the total area. These extend outwards as far as the other Marche provinces and neighbouring regions such as Umbria, meaning that the landscape is wonderfully varied, stretching seamlessly from the Adriatic Sea to the Apennines. Some of the most beautiful beaches on the Adriatic coast are located in the province of Ancona – just think of the Conero Riviera for a moment – while its green valleys offer space for relaxation, kilometre-zero culinary and wine experiences, as well as being perfect for outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, cycling and trekking.

The history of this province stretches way back into the past: indeed, evidence of the first settlements dating back to the Bronze Age are still present in the area. Onwards, throughout the course of history, Ancona has played a fundamental role, ever since the establishment of the March of Ancona during the Holy Roman Empire. Its bustling port has been fundamental to its growth and development in both a commercial and industrial sense, making it what it is today: a vibrant, lively city and cultural centre.

Why choose to live outside the city?

Today, most commercial and industrial activity is concentrated in the cities, but when such an urban environment is located just a few kilometres from the countryside, living in the midst of nature can be advantageous in several respects, which greatly improve quality of life. Let’s consider the two main ones.

• Air quality: areas that aren’t surrounded by factories and industry obviously benefit from much better air quality. The open air, the countryside, not only the mountains but also the coasts are both areas where the air you breathe is certainly cleaner than in urban centres with their constant traffic;
• Space: the space available, for a house and maybe an adjoining plot of land, is always greater if you get away from the confines of the city. In urban centres you are often forced to sacrifice space, pushed into smaller housing or even apartment blocks, where privacy and liveability are much lower.

If, on the other hand, we’re talking about buying a holiday home, the benefits nevertheless remain the same. Holidaying in the countryside allows us to unwind, rest and relax far from the chaos and frenzy of city life, even though there’s still plenty to do: spending days outside in the fresh air, taking in the charm of both small and large villages alike, visiting small towns, or even Ancona itself, a lively but certainly not hectic city.
