A rare, possibly unique, opportunity to acquire a self-sustaining estate, with nineteenth
century origins - fully renovated to a quality standard in a traditional style and located in the
wooded hills near Lucca.
This pristine estate comprises of 3 buildings - a 13m bean shaped heated swimming pool
within its 7 hectares (over 17 acres) of woodland all set in a nature conservation area. The
views from the houses
overlook the valley to the plains below and surrounding hills - as the property stands 1,500ft
above sea level.
It is private, tranquil and offers peaceful and comfortable living all year round. There are
solar panels for electricity, a private clean spring for water and abundant wood for the open
fires for cozy winter days. There is electric underfloor heating throughout. The property
benefits from good Wi-Fi and mobile connection.
The main house is 300 sq. m. and has been divided into two separate residences which can
also remain connected through dividing internal doors. For the first part, there is a large
kitchen and living room on the ground floor, with 4 double bedrooms, a bathroom and
shower room on the first floor. In the other half of the farmhouse on the first floor is a kitchen,
2 double bedrooms and a shower room. On the ground floor is a comfortable living room. All
areas of the house have direct access to the outside terraces. There is a laundry in
a separate building to the rear of the house.
A second small house, (a former oasthouse) of 50 sq. m. with kitchen, living room, bedroom
and wet room, is located next to the main villa terrace. 
A villa of 110 sq. m. is located slightly down the hill. It is an "upside down house" and has 3
double bedrooms, 2 shower rooms (1 ensuite) on the ground floor; with kitchen and living
area on the first floor, leading onto 3 terraced areas.
