A microelectromechanical motion sensor device is described, provided with: a base substrate having a front surface with extension in a horizontal plane; and a sensing structure arranged above the base substrate, for sensing components of a motion quantity along respective sensing axes. The sensing structure is provided with: a housing element integrally coupled above the front surface of the base substrate and internally defining a cavity; a single mobile mass arranged inside the cavity; an elastic supporting arrangement arranged above the mobile mass, with main extension in a plane overlying the mobile mass to elastically support the mobile mass inside the cavity, so that it is suspended above the front surface of the base substrate and performs, due to inertial effect, a respective sensing movement in response to each of the components of the motion quantity; and a sensing electrode arrangement, capacitively coupled to the mobile mass for sensing the components of the motion quantity.
