Dreaming of Living and Working in Italy?
This is a unique opportunity to purchase an Agriturismo in Le Marche that is an established, successful campsite and B&B business immersed in gardens, an olive grove, a small vineyard and a lavender field.

Surrounded by nature, the property sits on a quiet and peaceful south-facing hill over a picturesque valley of patchwork fields of green, tan and yellow sunflowers, as well as a view of the medieval village of Ripatransone.
The 2.5-hectare property faces south with spectacular sunsets over the Sibillini Mountains, and stunning sunrises over the sea.
Le Marche is one of the greenest, prettiest corners of Italy with growing international exposure as being authentic with exceptional food, wine and tourism with an anticipated fruitful return on investment.
The olive groves produce a wonderful organic extra-virgin olive oil, the vineyard produces 300-500 liters of wine and the lavender field, when in full production, produces about 50 litres of essential lavender oil and about 250 litres of lavender hydrosol. Everything is organic.
Just 3km away is our village, Carassai, which is a typical charming small medieval hamlet with panoramic views of the sea and the mountains, complete with a park and a small playground. There is a grocery store, a bank, a bakery, a butcher’s shop, a post office, a doctor’s office, coffee bars, a petrol station, a mechanic, and other amenities.
Schools for children of all ages are nearby.
Nearby there are more shops, restaurants, banks, fruit and vegetable farm stands, wine cantinas, quality local butchers, cheese makers and salami/prosciutto makers.
Hospitals, dentists, and all manner of quality healthcare is nearby, including many options for alternative healthcare and physical therapy.
The property consists of two sunny, south-facing buildings (400 m2 and 200 m2 meters) dating back to1960 when it was built as a typical Marchigiano family farmhouse and barn.
There is a 60 m2 storage shed which can be rebuilt into housing or used for any other purpose.
The larger, 400 m2 main building has been completely restored and houses the 4 B&B rooms, 2 holiday apartments, camping facilities, utility rooms and an 80 m2 2-bedroom ground-floor apartment where the owners live year round. The owners’ apartment has a 35 m2 private veranda that can be closed in for the winter months. The attic is insulated and there are double-glazed windows.
The 200 m2 building is in a solid state and has been partially restored including a kitchen, terrace, bathroom, storage room and farm shop. The rest of the building is currently used for storage and as a workshop, but could be transformed into a large house or additional rental units with plenty of space left over for storage and a workshop!
The property, hospitality business and farm are all easily managed and are inexpensive to run with a biomass heater for hot water and heat, rainwater collection tanks for irrigation and is set up for adding hot water solar panels.
There is city drinking water and electricity. Internet and Wi-Fi coverage is good.
The property is suited for shared ownership as there are 3 existing apartments and the possibility to build a large house in the second building.
There is the possibility to purchase adjoining land for expansion of the business, and plenty of opportunities to expand and grow the olive oil, lavender, and hospitality businesses as well as opportunities to create other businesses as the area is becoming well known internationally for its excellent food and wine products. Our valley also has many opportunities for those interested in growing grapes for wine, as it is designated as prestigious DOCG land.
