Description:
Casa Grassi is set in one of the most beautiful locations, close to the town of Montefano and from its elevated and dominant position has 360 degrees, panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.
Montefano was a thriving village in medieval times from both a cultural and social point of view with its history being greatly affected by the presence of the Church; indeed Pope Marcellus II was born in Montefano in 1501. Besides testimonies to the past, nowadays visitors may enjoy a sense of peace, serenity and as far as the eye can see views. From the historic centre visitors may admire a landscape that ranges from the sea to the Sibillini mountains, passing through meadows, and cultivated hills; a unique landscape that summarizes the whole of the Marches? beauty. When visiting the hamlet, several interesting monuments may be admired. Starting from the Town Hall, which is surmounted by the Civic Tower and includes the 19th century theatre, designed by Virginio Tombolini, which is one of the region's concealed treasures. The theatre was inspired by the Fenice Theatre in Venice. There are also many churches which contain artworks by famous artists such as Caludio Ridolfi and some having Baroque-style interiors. A visit to Montefano is best completed by climbing the huge tower of the walls of the 15th-century castle, from which Loreto and Recanati may be spotted. Montefano also comprises of all local amenities, shops and restaurants.
Casa Grassi was originally constructed in the 1700's from brick and has approximately 500sqm of accommodation but is in need of complete restoration. There are many original features, such as the entrance arch, open fireplaces and the vaulted ceilings on the ground floor, that give this building atmosphere and character and with a sensitive restoration can be encorporated into 21st century living. The major services of electricity and mains water are already connected to this property.
The land surrounding the property is currently used for agricultural purposes, but 2ha of land accompanies this building therefore again giving vast potential to create a wonderful garden with enough space to build a swimming pool.
This large, spacious building with its dominant position has much potential to become ones ideal dream home and with the uniterrupted views of the surrounding Marchigiana countryside, will be the envy of all.
