Dream villa near Lucca in north-western Tuscany

Frescoed villa with 1,100 m², outbuilding with approx. 500 m², temple with viewing terrace 40 m², park 7,000 m², pool construction and purchase of additional buildings possible

Here I present to you a real estate complex in an exceptionally beautiful panoramic position in the hills near Lucca. The complex consists of a historic villa accompanied by separate and independent outbuildings. Like a small borgo, it is surrounded by a natural stone wall that guarantees privacy and security. Outside the borgo, there is the possibility of acquiring further buildings for a value of 250,000 euros. This increases the volume considerably.

Wonderful panoramic position on the hills of Lucca with views of the Serchio valley towards the plain, the town of Lucca, the hills of Morianese and towards Camaiore. Park with cypresses, palm trees and the famous palm trees of the area.

The villa in complete tranquility and close to a village (1.8 km, 4 min.) that offers all services such as stores, bar, restaurant, pharmacy, bank, Green Cross first aid. The Esselunga supermarket is 7 minutes (3.5 km) away.

Despite its beauty, the villa is not a listed building. Pool construction is possible. Furniture is not included in the price.

The villa

-It was built at the beginning of the 19th century (the small temple with the viewing terrace dates back to 1813) by a famous family from Livorno as their main residence and was restored in the 1960s.

-consists of three floors above ground and a basement, which was used as a wine cellar, with direct access from the garden.

-It has an internal distribution on the different floors (first floor, first and second floor) that allows a division into different apartments (up to 5) with double independent entrances and independent access on each floor, guaranteeing both the connection between them and/or independence.

-has 9 rooms on the first floor, 8 on the second floor and 12 on the second floor. There are a total of 9 bathrooms: 1 on the first floor with shower, 4 on the second floor with bathtub, 3 on the second floor with bathtub.

The villa has two main entrances on the east and west sides, a servants’ entrance on the north side and two French windows on the south side, as well as an external staircase on the north side that provides independent access to the first and second floors. In the villa, all the rooms on the first floor and second floor are frescoed and are in excellent condition. The marble floors on the first floor and the marble fireplace are original.

The villa is in good condition, but is in need of renovation and modernization, especially on the upper floors.

The following buildings are to be completely restored:

La Casa del Fattore

La Limonaia – the orangery

It is a ground floor building, accessible from the garden, which is not divided internally and was intended for the wintering of the large lemon pots and has a separate tool shed. It has access to the area outside the walls that leads to the other buildings, which are also for sale but do not need to be purchased.

It is a rural building with two floors, accessible both from inside the villa and from the neighboring outside street.
