Farm house, rustico to sell on Monte Paganuccio, Marche, Italy
Ca’Barcone is a 250sqm, very old farmhouse, made of nature stone, oak beams, old motto floor, old nun & apt roof-tiles, located in a protected nature park
General information
The first time I saw this charming rustico many years ago, I fell in love with Ca'Barcone, and when I finally was able to buy it, my love for it and the nature surrounding it, just grew. As a writer and filmmaker it is a dream, to be able to live and work here, as we are located in a Parco Naturale and at the same time the next village is only 7 min. away by car.
The access to the house is via a 400 meter long private dust road with a barrier. The road ends at the house, so there is no traffic at all.
Restoration
The concept for the restoration was, to create a simple, but very special place with a lot of charisma, that breathes and respects the spirit of the past and the nature surrounding it.
The old style original round brick pizza oven has been fully restored. The cotto floor tiles are brushed by hand and put back in place. Missing stones in the old walls have been replaced, partially with stones from an ancient quarries just behind the house, where you can still find treasures and rare stones. The roof has not been sandblasted in order to leave the old character of the house as it used to be, when the farmers still used to live in it, but it is thermally insulated. And there has not been used any cement for the roof, which you can feel, as soon as you enter the house, because the climate is natural. Outside the stonewalls are exposed and also inside some stone walls were not plastered. The old, huge fireplace is restored and is working with wood from the own forrest and/or gas.
The access to the ground level is as it used to be in old days. Instead of a fitted kitchen. you have a flexible, individual solution. The bathroom looks like a room, where you like to put a chair, as it is large and cosy, with two windows and great views.
More opportunities for changes
Open architecture. Sky windows. Two rooms, wooden floor, under the roof have been converted to one big room, connected with a bridge. Converting them back into two rooms is simple and is a matter of a day.
The ground floor could be converted into an individual apartment. It has three rooms, a very large outside living room/ dining area, a cosy terrace with 2 sides open, which could be closed and converted into jet another room. And there is a small chicken stable, untouched and in it’s original shape and form.
Outside there are open terraces and the entire outside area is ideal for setting up umbrellas, roofs, tables, chairs, couches, beds, carpets, fireplaces, candles and make it cosy in warm summer evenings and nights.

You will love the nature, the views, the surrounding, the very unique house. Eagles circle the skies. This year a falcon has built her nest in the old stone wall of the house. One year a goat gave birth to its kitten next to the entrance of the house, and sometimes she would go on the roof and look into the bathroom window. In summer horses gras on the opposite hill. In the early mornings dears find their food on your land. Pure nature is what you get here.
