Fivizzano, Lunigiana, Tuscany, Italy

Traditional Stone Barn with Land and Panoramic Views near Fivizzano
Set within the fabric of a small traditional stone borgo, just 4 km from the centre of Fivizzano, this substantial barn offers approximately 115 sq m arranged over two levels, together with around 691 sq m of land.
The property occupies a particularly attractive position at the heart of the hamlet, surrounded by old stone houses and with extensive views across the upper Apennine ridgeline towards Fivizzano and the Castle of Verrucola. Vehicle access is possible to within approximately 20 metres of the building, with independent access directly onto the property's own land.
The Property
The building has already been structurally consolidated and now offers an exciting opportunity to complete the interiors according to the buyer's own ideas.
Its architecture retains some excellent original features, including substantial exposed stonework, original stone architraves, impressive corner stones in local Arenaria stone and high ceilings with exposed chestnut beams.
The internal accommodation is currently divided into three principal spaces over two levels, with generous open volumes and considerable flexibility in how the final layout might be defined.
Windows and external doors still need to be installed, together with all services and systems, leaving the buyer free to determine the internal arrangement, finishes and character of the completed property without first having to address major structural works.
A Creative Project
This is a property for someone who wants to create rather than simply renovate.
The open-space character of the building lends itself particularly well to a large living and entertaining area, while the generous proportions allow scope for bedrooms, guest accommodation, studio space or more defined rooms according to individual requirements and subject to the appropriate technical and planning approvals.
With its consolidated structure, beautiful stonework, high chestnut-beamed ceilings and original architectural details already in place, the building provides a particularly strong starting point. With a considered approach to the interiors, it really could become something special.
The property is accompanied by approximately 691 sq m of land, giving useful private outdoor space and reinforcing its connection with the surrounding countryside.

The Hamlet and Natural Setting
The borgo occupies an elevated position with wide, 360-degree views across the surrounding landscape and the upper Apennine ridgeline, including views towards Fivizzano and the Castle of Verrucola.
Wild woodland surrounds the hamlet and marked walking trails lead directly from the village into the countryside. Rivers, waterfalls and natural swimming pools can be reached on foot, giving immediate access to one of the most unspoilt aspects of Lunigiana life.
It is a peaceful and genuinely rural environment, yet the shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday services of Fivizzano are only around 4 km away.
Fivizzano and the Wider Area
Fivizzano is one of Lunigiana's most characterful medieval market towns, with an attractive historic centre, cafés, restaurants, shops and everyday services, together with a well-established local and international community.
The town and surrounding villages maintain an active calendar throughout the year, with traditional festivals, cultural events, markets, concerts and food-and-wine celebrations giving the area a social and cultural life that extends well beyond the summer months.
Fivizzano sits in a particularly beautiful part of northern Tuscany, between the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the Apuan Alps, surrounded by mountains, woodland, rivers, castles and historic villages.
The area is exceptionally well placed for exploring northern and central Italy. Both the Ligurian and Tuscan Rivieras are within approximately an hour's reach, while Parma, Genoa, Lucca and Pisa are also accessible for day trips. Milan is around three hours away and Rome approximately five hours.
For international buyers, this combination is one of the area's strongest attractions: a genuine northern Tuscan market town with year-round community life, surrounded by dramatic landscape and unspoilt nature, yet still well connected to major airports and within easy reach of both the Ligurian and Tuscan Rivieras.
