Tenuta Mangiacapra Stunning Estate With Sporting Infrastructure

Tenuta Mangiacapra

Set in the rolling countryside of Le Marche, just outside Fermo and within easy reach of the Adriatic coast, Tenuta Montecapra is a substantial private estate with the rare combination of residential elegance, land scale, sporting infrastructure and operational flexibility. The property sits in a strategic yet discreet position in Contrada Lavandara, Fermo, with the sea approximately 6 km away and a number of established local destinations within comfortable driving distance, including Torre di Palme and Porto San Giorgio.

For an investor, the estate’s first strength is its critical mass. The holding extends to approximately 61 acres of private land and includes around 1,650 sqm of built real estate. This is distributed across a 900 sqm principal country house, a 500 sqm guest house and bungalow, a 150 sqm club house and tack room, and a further 100 sqm workshop. The land is already organised into three clear components: the main residential core, the equestrian country club, and the farmlands. That level of physical articulation is significant, because it creates a genuine platform asset rather than a single-use country residence.

The main house has already been renovated and positioned to command open views across the Marche landscape towards Fermo. Internally, it is arranged over five levels and offers six bedrooms and six bathrooms, together with multiple reception areas, two full-service kitchens, an indoor patio, internal service lift, underground parking, wine cellar and sauna. Externally, the residence is framed by a private olive plantation, landscaped gardens, gazebo, patios, al-fresco dining areas, stone BBQ zones, jacuzzi tub and infinity pool. In investment terms, the principal residence already delivers the emotional and architectural anchor point that any estate of this calibre requires.

The second major value driver is the equestrian infrastructure. The country club component is not conceptual or lightly recreational; it is already configured as a serious riding facility with a 60 x 30 metre outdoor arena, a 50 x 25 metre indoor arena, a 20 metre lounging pen, a 1.5 km cross-country course, 20 stable stalls, 15 paddocks, staff housing, club house, tack room and on-site maintenance workshop. The file also notes international trainers, schoolmaster horses with competitive show-jumping backgrounds, and accreditation with the National Equestrian Federation for Olympic disciplines. This creates a clear strategic avenue for an equestrian-led private club, training destination, specialist retreat business or hybrid hospitality model, subject of course to buyer vision and operating structure.

The guest accommodation further broadens the estate’s commercial optionality. Beside the riding centre sits a three-level guest house and a bungalow overlooking the paddocks. Together they provide five independent dwellings with private entrances, described across one studio, two one-bedroom units and two two-bedroom units. The deck also summarises this ancillary hospitality component as a three-level guest house with five bedrooms and four bathrooms, plus a bungalow with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Whether used for extended family, staff, paying guests, riders in residence or wellness/programme participants, this part of the estate materially enhances operating flexibility and capacity.

Tenuta Montecapra also benefits from infrastructure that matters to modern buyers and operators. The property has three independent solar installations producing 35 kWp with 40 kWh storage, EV charging stations, water supplied by four deep wells feeding high-capacity storage tanks, dual internet feeds with indoor and outdoor coverage, and integrated surveillance with perimeter fencing, high-resolution cameras, motion detection and intrusion alarms linked via VHF radio. In practical terms, that reduces dependence, improves resilience and supports a more sophisticated year-round use profile than many rural estates in Italy.

From an investor standpoint, Tenuta Montecapra should be understood as a compound asset with several possible readings: high-end private estate, equestrian destination, hospitality platform, events and retreat venue, or a blended lifestyle-investment holding. What makes it persuasive is not one single headline feature, but the coherence of the whole: scale, built volume, ancillary accommodation, sporting infrastructure, land, privacy and location. In a market where genuinely differentiated assets are increasingly rare, Tenuta Montecapra offers substance as well as story.
