Set amidst the picturesque rolling hills of Piane di Morro, in the municipality of Folignano, we are offering for sale “La Palazzetta”, a significant historic residence that retains the character and grandeur of an ancient fortified house.

The property is situated in a commanding position on a natural tuff hill and enjoys an extraordinary panoramic view stretching from the Apennine Mountains to the Adriatic Sea, taking in the valley and the hills of the Piceno area.

According to historical records held by the owners, the building’s origins are thought to date back to at least the 16th century, when the complex is believed to have been used as an observation post and military outpost along the ancient border between the Kingdom of Naples and the Papal States.

The building is spread over three storeys, with a total floor area of approximately 988 square metres:

• Ground floor: approximately 390 square metres
• First floor: approximately 390 square metres, plus approximately 60 square metres of terraces-
• Second floor: approximately 208 square metres

The property is completed by a private courtyard of approximately 1,000 square metres and surrounding land of approximately 9,783 square metres, ensuring privacy, ample green spaces and a direct connection with the landscape.

Significant structural works have already been carried out on the building, relating to:

• the floor slabs;
• the roof structure;
• foundations;
• the reinforcement of load-bearing walls.

The relevant planning applications have already been submitted, enabling the restoration work to resume and continue swiftly, whilst adapting the project to the future buyer’s requirements.

Despite the changes that have taken place over the course of the 20th century, the house retains its original layout and numerous traces of the various eras it has endured. Family tradition also tells of an ancient tunnel carved into the tuff, which is said to have connected the estate with the surrounding area and to have been used as a shelter during the Second World War.

In terms of size, location, views and historical significance, La Palazzetta is the ideal choice for the creation of a prestigious private residence, a stately home, or a highly attractive tourism, hospitality or cultural project.

✨ A rare property where history, architecture and landscape come together in a unique setting, with a view that stretches from the mountains all the way to the sea.
