A Papal-Era Estate Reborn as a Working Agriturismo
Documented in Papal land records as far back as 1813, this Marche hillside estate pairs centuries of history with a fully operational hospitality business. Sensitively restored in 2005, the farmhouse today blends four independent guest apartments with a private family residence, all set across 24 hectares of pasture, woodland, olive grove and vineyard — just 8 km from the Renaissance city of Urbino.
The Main Farmhouse: Four Apartments Plus a Private Home
Spread over two floors, the 626 m² farmhouse is split between guest hospitality (approx. 380 m²) and a private owners' residence (approx. 246 m²), each with fully independent entrances.
Owners' residence: currently two self-contained apartments, easily reunited into a single two-storey home — kitchen/dining with thermo-fireplace, living room, en-suite bedroom, guest WC, plus an upper level with open-plan living, two further bedrooms and a bathroom.
Four guest apartments: a mix of studio and multi-room layouts, several with fireplaces, one with a disabled-accessible bathroom, one opening onto a private balcony, and mezzanine sleeping space in another.
Purpose-Built Equestrian Facilities
A 210 m² timber stable, built in 2010 by renowned Alpine timber-house specialist Rubner, houses seven horse boxes, a hay store, tack room and a staff changing area with shower. A serviced, level plot in front of the stables — already connected to water and power — offers scope for a glamping or camper-pitch expansion, subject to permits.
24 Hectares of Land, Pool and Grounds
The estate's grounds include roughly 4 hectares of fenced pasture, olive and fruit trees, and a small vineyard, framing a 5×10m saltwater pool with its own 45 m² service building. A 16.1 kW photovoltaic system (installed 2011), centralised gas heating, four fireplaces and a newly completed mains water connection (2024–2026) round out the estate's infrastructure. EPC rating: B.
Location: 8 km from Renaissance Urbino
Perched on a private hillside with sweeping countryside views, the estate sits minutes from Urbino — home to one of Europe's oldest universities (founded 1506), the Ducal Palace and its National Gallery of the Marche, and a calendar of festivals throughout the year. Pesaro and the Adriatic coast are under 35 minutes away; Ancona airport around 90 minutes.
Why This Estate Stands Out
A rare combination of income-producing agriturismo, equestrian facilities and private residence in one holding
Flexible enough to run as-is, convert to a family compound for up to four households, or expand into glamping
Genuine multi-century provenance minutes from a UNESCO-listed Renaissance city

With 25 years running a successful communications agency in Cardiff, I built a career on crafting compelling stories — but real estate was always the one that called to me.
A Welsh speaker and proud Francophile, I studied Economics at the University of Toulouse, and France never really left my blood. When Brexit and Covid reshaped the world in ways none of us anticipated, I chose to see the disruption as an invitation — and made the move I'd always dreamed of. I'm now a proud French resident, based on the Côte d'Azur.
My passion for property is anything but theoretical. I've undertaken multiple renovation projects in the UK, owned a property in Paris, and worked as an agent for luxury real estate agencies in both Paris and London. That hands-on experience — combined with a deep love for this region — naturally drew my focus to luxury sales and rentals in the South of France.
My journey in France began in October 2020, arriving as a long-term guest at Cinq & Sept in Roujan. By 2022, that journey had found its shape: I co-founded Polarius International Real Estate alongside my business partner Lee Michael Horan. I now live in sunny Nice.
Beyond property, I'm a committed LGBTIQA+ advocate — and I'm particularly proud to have organised the first-ever Pride event in Llantwit Major, the coastal town in Wales where my story began.
