description

In the picturesque hills of Lucca, immersed in the tranquillity of the Tuscan countryside, stands this prestigious historic villa for sale, built in the early 19th century on foundations of medieval origin. The property comprises a total of approximately 2,222 sqm of buildings, including the main villa and outbuildings, surrounded by 8,670 sqm of land entirely enclosed by a characteristic stone wall.

The main villa extends over three levels for approximately 1,500 sqm and is divided into five independent apartments, each with two entrances and connected to the elegant central reception rooms. The residence has a total of nine bathrooms, distributed across the three floors, and four kitchens, two of which still retain their original features. Renovated in 1936 and restored again in the 1960s, the villa is not subject to any heritage restrictions by the Soprintendenza and is equipped with gas-fired radiator heating.

The complex also includes the caretaker’s house with chapel and storage rooms, covering approximately 327 sqm, a lemon house of approximately 133 sqm, a building known as the “capanna” of approximately 152 sqm, and additional service buildings covering approximately 126 sqm. The outbuildings currently require major maintenance work, offering interesting opportunities for restoration and enhancement.

The description does not indicate the presence of a swimming pool. However, the extensive green spaces surrounding the villa provide a highly charming setting, characterized by the atmosphere typical of historic Tuscan residences.

The 8,670 sqm of land feature a rich garden with medicinal, fruit and exotic plants, including date palms, camellias, old roses, wisteria, linden trees, holm oaks, oaks, plane trees, citrus trees, olive trees, elderberry and boxwood, creating a varied and evocative park.

A historic property with considerable potential, ideal as a prestigious private residence, multi-family home, charming relais or hospitality project, enhancing the five existing apartments and restoring the substantial secondary buildings.
