When we hear the term farmhouse, we are often referring to a rural dwelling commonly known in Italian as a casolare. Historically, this is a building located in the open countryside, used by groups of people bound together by family ties: peasant farmers, in fact. They made use of this arrangement so that they could have a home where they could work the adjacent land.
Farmhouses such as these are widespread in the Marche region due to a strong peasant culture that until the first decades after the Second World War was based on the Mezzadria model. This is borne out by the Marche landscape itself, with large stretches of hills, with villages situated on the hilltops, and dominated by a rural, agrarian landscape.
The plots of land are often small, and not infrequently a farmhouse can be seen within them, often with farmland, a garden and sometimes centuries-old trees.
The region has one of the highest spread-out populations in Italy: the total number of rural farmhouses numbers in excess of 110,000.
There are several examples of farmhouses available in the Marche Country Homes portfolio. In this in-depth study we focus on three properties situated in a charming setting where time seems to have stood still. They are in need of major renovation and reconstruction work, offering tangible returns. These are practical matters in which we at Marche Country Homes have been specialising in for several years, thanks to our close working relationship with specialized architectural firms.
Farmhouse Centinari in San Paolo di Jesi, Ancona
The first farmhouse we bring your attention to is Casale Centinari and is located near the pretty town of Jesi, within the municipal territory of San Paolo. An agricultural place dedicated to vineyards and which has a pleasant, amiable appearance like few others. Also known as the “Royal City”, Jesi is a place renowned for its history, art and beauty that reaches unparalleled levels.
The surroundings are also fascinating, as confirmed by the location of a structure such as Casale Centinari. Although the external appearance is almost intact, the building needs a considerable, if not total, internal restoration. A kitchen and bathroom are practically new. One of the strengths of the cottage is the garden, with its trees and accessories placed outside. The access road is in good condition, although it is white, and is marked in the land registry. The total area is 264 square meters. The urban courtyard, majestic and elegant, measures over 1800 square meters.

Casale Poggiolino, near Filottrano
Casale Poggiolino, a farmhouse located in Filottrano in the province of Ancona, impresses with its simply perfect location. In fact, the farmhouse is located not far from the beaches of the Conero and close to the snow-capped peaks of the Apennines, which can be admired from the house. In this case too, a rebuilding project of the property is essential, to be carried out in compliance with the Marche region’s farmhouse criteria. Utilities are all nearby, the road is in excellent condition, and the lush countryside and peace and quiet are unparalleled. A splendid outcome is guaranteed.

Morobello Farmhouse in Mogliano, Macerata
A farmhouse that proves to be very interesting due to the fact that the funds for the renovation have been approved. The owner, in fact, is willing to make the transfer to a new owner. This practice guarantees a security of effective recovery of the investment. These are, in fact, funds that have been released through the Sisma Bonus, and not through the 110% Superbonus, in the face of work in progress. We at Marche Country Homes are available to provide additional information in addition to the documentation.
As far as the appearance of Casale Morobello is concerned, it is a building that sees the characteristic use of bricks according to a development on three floors, as required by the rural architectural tradition typical of the Marche region. The building appears elegant, solid as well as facing south: a distinctive feature of this typology.
The naturally refined appearance lends itself to being enhanced by a workmanlike renovation. For a farmhouse that has a timeless charm and is capable of transcending any era. The proximity to the Abbey of Fiastra, one of the most fascinating monuments in the region, and the city of Macerata, make the location even more valuable and intriguing.
