First impressions are lasting. That’s true for people you meet, places you visit and ruins you see where you start envisioning your dream house in Le Marche. There’s a ruin outside hill-top town, Monte San Martino, where amongst all the positives to talk about, the first impression stands out. Birdsong. The first impression was the uninterrupted, peaceful, soothing sounds of birds singing. So, we went with our first impression and we call terrific ruin to custom restore, Casa Canto Degli Uccelli, the house where the birds are singing.
NOTE: All ruins-to-restore are built to provide best-in-class earthquake resistance, energy efficiency, insulation and damp-proofing. All works are custom-designed to your specifications and final results are certified. Most ruins can be restored to large villas or “right-sized/budget-friendly” homes.
Casa Canto Degli Uccelli made a great first impression on us and it will do the same for you. Amongst all the good things here the peace and quiet will strike you…the open plot and fresh air will make you breathe deeply and effortlessly…the old stone building will inspire you for what will be….and that sooting sound of birdsong will make you smile. You’ve found a place people long for. Moving from this moment of Marche-Zen to the more practical, Casa Canto Degli Uccelli is an excellent ruin to restore that marries all the characteristics you’re looking for – soothing views, easy access, privacy, old stone to recover, a location that puts you close to lots of Le Marche’s best things to see, sip and sample.
Casa Canto Degli Uccelli is an old stone farmhouse, that’s easily 150 years old. The ruin provides lots of excellent quality stone for reuse in the new construction. In keeping with the theme, on one external wall there are bird roosts to reprise in the new build. The current estimate has Casa Canto Degli Uccelli restorable to at least 210 sqm, all the space you need to create a lovely Marche farmhouse.
Like all our ruins to restore, Casa Canto Degli Uccelli is a blank slate – you can create the setting of your dreams. Literally, you can do most anything you’d like.

Casa Canto Degli Uccelli can be restored to suit most size and budget needs. Be sure to ask about our budget-friendly “Right Sized” designs that deliver all you need, leaving out all the extra volume and costs you don’t.
