Elegant Neoclassical Villa in the leopardian countryside

In the surroundings of Recanati, just 3 km from Leopardi's Hill of the Infinite, Engel & Völkers presents not merely a property, but a neoclassical masterpiece: a villa of timeless allure, where frescoes and period furnishings dance in harmony with modern comforts in eternal luxury. Imagine waking in the piano nobile of a neoclassical villa, where morning light filters through frescoes and fine linen drapes, igniting Botticino marbles like jewels from an imperial era. From the panoramic terrace, your gaze embraces the everlasting green of the 6,000 sqm centuries-old park, Recanati, and the Conero Riviera beyond the horizon—just like a Grand Tour nobleman, yet with contemporary comforts. You become the guardian of a masterpiece inspired by Giuseppe Valadier, architect to the Popes, expanded in the 19th century and restored at the end of the 20th: majestic neoclassical facade, details narrating centuries of poetry and lyricism (near the birthplaces of Leopardi and Gigli), an ancient roccolo—the only hunting lodge—hidden among majestic trees, ready to rebirth as your private retreat. This luxurious manor unfolds over two levels: ground floor for the day's vibrant heart, piano nobile for panoramic nights from the terrace overlooking the 6,000 sqm centuries-old park, enriched by a guest annex, unique ancient roccolo awaiting revival (a testament to aristocratic hunting), pool areas, tree-lined avenues, and surrounding agricultural lands spanning another 2.6 hectares—your private realm, witness to Italian nobility. THE VILLA... Move-in ready, it spans two levels: the ground floor with entrance, expansive living room, kitchen with adjoining dining area, relaxation space, storage room, bathroom, and independent technical room; the first floor—originally the piano nobile—with living room, aforementioned panoramic terrace (views of the city, surrounding greenery, and meticulously tended park below), master bedroom with en-suite bath and walk-in closet, plus two additional bedrooms served by another bathroom. All spaces feature prestigious Botticino, Azul Macaubas, and Giallo Siena marble flooring alongside original terracotta; gas heating via radiant panels, supplemented by air conditioning with recently installed inverter splits for cooling and heating, plus state-of-the-art internal fixtures. A built-in vacuum system is also present. Live here the thrill of a restored neoclassical era: every marble an echo of Valadier, every corner a chapter of history that is yours. THE DEPENDANCE With a commercial area of 59 sqm, this ready-to-live structure, located a short distance from the main villa, develops on a single level including a living room with open kitchen, a bedroom with its dedicated bathroom, and a convenient entrance opening onto its exclusive courtyard. The perfect retreat for distinguished guests, in harmony with your main estate. THE GARAGE Covering 17 sqm, this recently built structure in solid bricks and iron comfortably shelters up to three cars. THE ROCCOLO With a commercial area of 22 sqm, what remains of this outbuilding—positioned in a secluded spot hidden by trees—stands as a direct testament to an ancient hunting lodge, a typical feature of aristocratic villas of the era. Utterly unique, it elevates the property to a living historical relic, ready for your visionary touch. THE AGRICULTURAL LAND Spanning over 2.5 hectares, the land surrounds and safeguards the privacy of the villa and its exclusive courtyard, creating a natural barrier for total seclusion. It is enriched by 14 centuries-old olive trees (plus an equal number of more recent plantings) and two functioning wells.
