Villa In Vendita A Urbino

Ca il Governatore, historic Country Estate with Pool and 4 Hectares, Just Minutes from Urbino

For more than four centuries, Ca il Governatore has stood among the hills of Urbino.

Generations have passed, the landscape has changed with the seasons, yet this remarkable country residence has preserved something increasingly difficult to find: the authentic character of an Italian home deeply connected to its land.
And perhaps its greatest privilege is that all this history, privacy and natural beauty lies just two minutes from the historic centre of Urbino, one of Italy’s most celebrated Renaissance cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Ca il Governatore is not simply a restored country house.
It is a place where architecture, landscape and time have grown together.

Four Centuries of History, Reimagined for Contemporary Living

Originally built more than 400 years ago, the residence is one of the oldest rural homes in the countryside surrounding Urbino.
The property has undergone a careful and sensitive restoration, preserving the architectural language and materials of the traditional Marche farmhouse while discreetly introducing the functionality and efficiency expected of contemporary living.
Exposed timber beams, traditional terracotta tiles, stone, cast-iron details, original fireplaces and carefully preserved architectural features give every room its own identity.
Nothing feels recreated.
The sense of history is genuine.
Yet the house is ready to be lived in immediately, without the need for renovation or maintenance works.

Approximately 500 sqm of Space and the Freedom to Interpret It

Arranged over three levels, the residence and its ancillary spaces extend to approximately 500 sqm, offering an unusually versatile internal layout.
Today, Ca il Governatore is enjoyed as one substantial private residence with a variety of additional rooms and ancillary spaces.
Its configuration, however, offers the potential subject to the relevant planning and administrative approvals to create up to three separate and independent residential units.
This opens the property to several interpretations.
A prestigious family residence.
A multi-generational home where parents, children and guests can remain close while preserving their independence.
An Italian country retreat with private guest accommodation.
Or a property capable of combining residential life with studios, creative spaces, professional rooms or a carefully conceived hospitality project.
Its scale is generous.
Its real luxury, however, lies in its flexibility.

A Home Designed Around the Landscape

At Ca il Governatore, the countryside is never simply outside.
It becomes part of the interiors.
The dining room, kitchen, living areas and bedrooms all look towards the estate and the surrounding greenery, creating an uninterrupted relationship between the house and the Montefeltro landscape.
From one window, mature trees frame the view.
From another, cultivated land follows the natural contours of the hills.
Flowers and ornamental plants surround the residence, creating perspectives that at certain times of day appear almost painterly.
Natural light moves through the rooms as the hours pass, revealing the textures of timber, terracotta and stone.
Here, architecture does not compete with nature.
It belongs to it.

Rooms That Invite a Different Rhythm of Life

Some of the most memorable spaces are not necessarily the grandest.
A veranda protected from the weather becomes a place to gather with friends in every season, cook in the wood-fired oven or simply read while feeling surrounded by nature.
A secluded outdoor corner offers the perfect setting for breakfast, accompanied only by birdsong and the sounds of the countryside.
Inside, a central stone fireplace or the warmth of a traditional cast-iron stove does more than complete the architecture.
They invite people to gather.
