Facing east south east, golden fingers of early sunlight glint softly on the stone farmhouse and olive groves. During long hot summers, the sun rises over Monte Conero, and as the months pass-by, the sunrises retract slowly along the coast finally ascending over Sant’Elpidio a Mare. As winter unfolds and a new year begins the sun begins to retrace its steps again to Monte Conero.
il sorger del sole was constructed with two-metre-thick stone walls sometime during the late 1600’s early 1700’s in the former hamlet of St. Georges’ Hill and was enlarged as families grew. Gated access to the entrance drive and courtyard is from a council maintained white road. Comprising some 230 m² (2475 ft²) it has been lovingly restored to retain its original charm. A considerable part of the farmhouse has exposed stonework, handmade oak doors; hand hewed oak beams, handmade ceiling tiles etcetera. It has terracotta roof tiles, copper guttering and double-glazed windows. The spacious accommodation comprises: ground floor with two bedrooms with independent entrances, private bathrooms and an additional room which could be converted into a further en-suite bedroom, under stair storage room, bread oven which could be re-used and single garage. Ancient stone steps with loggia lead to the first floor with lounge, bedroom with en-suite bathroom/utility room and a large open plan kitchen/dining area. Wooden stairs rise to the second floor with office and galleried bedroom.
