Full Description


Set in an idylic location amongst meadows and woodland near a quiet river this property includes a farmhouse, part-converted barn and outbuildings. The property is situated in a quiet location but within easy reach of amenities.

Accommodation comprises entrance hall, living room, kitchen-dining room with fireplace, 2 bedrooms and bathroom on the upstairs (95 meters square) with the same area of cantina rooms on the ground floor opening onto a courtyard.

The adjacent barn on 2 levels totals 130 meters square has been partially restored and could provide a further 2 bedrooms and bathroom unit. There is a further stone out building and a separate garage.

The land is 46 000 meters square and offers potential for a swimming pool (subject to planning permission).

The property is accessed along a private lane yet is within easy reach of amenities. A small village is within walking distance.

Aulla, just 4 km away, is one the largest towns in Lunigiana; it has a good selection of shops, supermarkets, medical centre, public transport and motorway access (A15). The historic town centre is the site of a marble fountain built in the year of Italian unity and the 16th century fortress called La Brunella is perched on a hill overlooking the town. The fortress now houses the Museum of Natural History of Lunigiana. Enjoy the colourful market hosted in the town centre every Saturday morning.

Lunigiana (pronounced Loonee-janna) is a magical part of Tuscany starting with its name the ‘Land of the Moon’. The hills that encircle Lunigiana create an intimate and relaxed atmosphere whilst the blend of the mountains and sea are extremely inviting to those who enjoy the outdoors. The rolling landscape is liberally sprinkled with castles of Medici or Malaspina vintage but for lovers of the coast the sea is only half-an-hours’ drive away.

Lunigiana is special and has been likened to a magical kingdom. It is not only the breath-taking scenery with its abundance of medieval castles but you simply feel a huge sense of wellbeing radiating from the sunshine, glorious countryside, delicious food and wine, kind friendly locals and most importantly, from the sense of tradition and community amongst people here that is rarely seen in modern day life.

The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre are ideal for swimming and sailing in the summer while the snow clad mountains offer skiing in the local resorts during the winter months and are each a short drive away. The area is criss-crossed with marked footpaths for walks to the hills and mountains. The airports of Pisa, Parma and Genova are all within an hours’ drive.
