RARE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL. Wonderful farmhouse partially restored with potential to build additional new house, all set in a stunning location with 2 hectares of land.

This group of buildings, set in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, offer exceptional development potential, rarely available in this region.

Detached farmhouse, a three bed portion which is sold with the opportunity to significantly improve the interior, and is sold also with the rare potential to build a new house of approx 300 sqm on the same site, with two hectares of land. The other half of the farmhouse needs total restoration. So the potential is to have one very large house (or two semi-detached houses) plus a new house of 300 sqm. The properties are set amidst the rolling hills of Tuscany, close to Lajatico and Orciatico.

The semi-detached farmhouse is entered into the sitting room. There is a kitchen with pellet stufa (heater) and from here stairs lead up to a large landing area; two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, and bathroom. Storage cupboard. The house was last updated in 1994.

There is a large outdoor dining pergola and a large pizza oven. There is potential to add a swimming pool (subject to planning). Easy road access and extensive private parking.

There is electricity, water and drainage on site.

There are outbuildings on the site which total an area of over 300 sqm, It is these building which could be demolished and the area re-used to build a new house on the site. This new house would be in addition to the existing farmhouse.

L'Architrave works with a sister company and a Geometra to be able to provide planning guidance, design consultancy, project management and tradespeople for all required works. This team have overseen a number of wonderful restorations and building projects of all kinds in the area. The property is being sold as seen: to restore, and does not include the cost of additional works. All projects are subject to planning permission.

The grounds are particularly special, and are extensive, covering 2 hectares (5 acres). The house and outbuildings are in a beautiful natural setting, with lawned areas and woodland. The views are impressive over the rolling Tuscan hills.

There is an excellent local restaurant, bar, post office and shop in the village.

The lovely town of Lajatico, birthplace of the famous tenor, Andrea Bocelli, is set in breathtaking countryside. The natural contours of the land have been used to create the Teatro del Silenzio where the singer holds a concert in July every year together with other internationally famous singers. This open air theatre, il Teatro del Silenzio, was built especially to host this annual event. The quintessential Tuscan countryside around Lajatico offers superb views and beautifully restored properties.
