Traditionally Le Marche properties region was agricultural under which products were equally divided between the owners and the cultivators of the land, the area rapidly developed and farmhouses grew to accommodate larger families of cultivators and Le Marche property owners prospered under the mezzadria system.   However, in modern times agriculture declined and Le Marche developed the industrial sectors of shoes, paper, furniture, shipbuilding and as a consequence farm dwellings were vacated and fell into disrepair, leaving us now beautiful old Marchigiana farmhouses to restore.   Investors are now recognizing the potential of restoring these large properties and converting them into apartments for holiday rentals, bed & breakfast facilities, wineries, biological farms and restaurants.   Property conversion is now in its infancy but growing rapidly due to specialist civil engineering studios like Studio Ingegneria Eugeni Fabio and Federici Massimo who have developed a reputation of excellence in property restoration and will help prospective buyers to wade through the complex planning consent procedures.   Restoration costs vary with individual taste in fittings of windows, doors, stone work and garden requirements.  There is a wide range of craftsmen in the San Severino Marche/Tolentino area and costs range from €650 sq.m. (£445) to €1.050 sq.m. (£725) again depending upon the level of fittings.
