The place strikes you. The structure strikes you. The fact that you’ll be just the third owner in 700 years of a house on this site strikes you. And two majestic oak trees frame it all. This is Casa Due Querce – the house of the two oaks.
The Ragoni family, Italian aristocrats of the first order, sold this property to the current owner. The Ragonis have had a presence on this spot for 700 years. Think about that…The Ragonis, the current owner, and you…that’s it…for the last 700 years. Wow.
The house is very large. It is being restored from the ground up. All the old stones have been meticulously recovered and sit on the site for use later in the restoration. The structure is currently in the restoration phase – completely new foundation, reinforced concrete floors and walls, new roof, all the latest technology brought to bear to create a noteworthy structure. Next, the walls go up and the stones re-take their places. The chestnut beams have been installed and are regal – most builders use much cheaper pine beams. The so-called “heavy lifting” has been done here. That means the surprises of structural restorations are behind you and you can be in Casa Querce in a fairly short period of time.
The internal layout and finish work will be completely at your direction. We take care of the backbone of the house. You give it its soul. The space is ample. There’s light everywhere. Every need you have for living spaces, kitchen and baths can be satisfied here. Plus, the large accessory building has already been structurally restored and awaits your intended use as a small villetta, studio or office.
The house has a spectacular position. See the full chain of the splendid Sibillini Mountains. See rolling valleys of sunflowers. You can see San Ginesio, one of Italy’s 100 Most Beautiful Hill Towns, atop one of the surrounding hills. The privacy is amazing. The road that arrives, and ends, at the house cuts through a lovely wood. Wooded walking paths, pool, gardens are all easily accomplished. Plus, the Due Querce has those two majestic oaks that frame the house.
Access is great. Noteworthy San Ginesio 10 minutes away. The medieval town of Camporotondo just five minutes away. Historic Caldarola, with its castles, is 10 minutes’ drive. Commercial and cultural center, Tolentino, is under 15 minutes away. And, the provincial capital of Macerata, with its university and famed outdoor opera, is 20 minutes’ drive.
Casa Querce is a solid investment for the lover of things Italian. The house is large. The structure is a superior quality restoration. The property and views are truly noteworthy and the history is remarkable. The house is sold at €495,000, as is, and €645,000-€700,000 depending on selection of finish materials. Fully Structurally Restored and Estimates will be provided for the Finish Phase, based on your specific requirements. |
