REDUCED!

PLEASE NOTE, SUBSTANTIAL RESTORATION IS REQUIRED HERE, WHICH MAY COST IN THE REGION OF €1 MILLION.

Historic Tuscan Villa for Sale. This majestic 17th century property is located near Volterra, 4km from a village, 20 minutes from the Castelfalfi Golf Club, and 30 minutes from the sea. It takes less than an hour to reach Pisa International Airport.

The property provides approximately 1,000 square metres of floor area and includes the prestigious main villa of 700 sqm, the housekeeper's house of 100 sqm and the barn of 120 sqm.

The villa was originally owned by the Church and was the residence of the bishop who ordered the building up of a small chapel. In the 1950's the property was bought by a noble family and it has also been home to famous film directors.

The property's size and location offer lots of potential as it can be used as a prestigious home, or as a holiday home. Restoration is needed as nothing major has been done for many years. Roof repairs, new systems (electrics/plumbing/heating) and new bathrooms are advised. The furniture is not included.
