Full Description


Beautiful, comfortable and spacious three bedroom house, fully restored with terraces and pretty garden. In addition to the main house there is ample opportunity for further expansion of the accommodation with an attached house next door in need of full restoration. There is also, just opposite these houses, a very large barn (184 sqm) on two levels, which could also be restored.

The main house (290 sqm) has undergone a restoration to provide an easy space to live in with a great connection between inside and out, perfect for summer living. And with a wonderful feature fireplace in the living room. There is a large entrance hall with a double living/ dining room on the left with double doors to the garden and an 'eat-in' kitchen to the right, with utility room. Upstairs are three large double bedrooms, with old wooden beams and beautiful wooden floors. The master bedroom opens onto a private terrace. In addition there is a study, perfect for working from home.

Next door is another house (155 sqm), independently accessed, which could be restored to provide a separate one/ two bed house. Opposite, is a large barn. There is ample car parking in the courtyard, and easy car access on good roads. Plenty of space for a swimming pool (subject to planning) in the lovely garden of around 2,000 sqm (about half an acre). Central heating.

Set in a small village in the hills with wonderful views, just 5 km from Fivizzano. The village is famous for the bread which is still cooked in the original wood-fired ovens in the village. Fivizzano is a medieval walled town with a central cobbled piazza and is often referred to as the Florence of Lunigiana. The bustling town hosts many cultural events over the summer with concerts in the piazza and reenactments of medieval parades. With strong musical heritage the town attracts international musicians during its annual folk music festival and music of all kinds. There is a hospital, shops, supermarkets, restaurants and coffee bars in the town.

Lunigiana is a magical part of Tuscany. The rolling landscape is liberally sprinkled with castles of Medici or Malaspina vintage and for lovers of the coast the sea is 45 mins away. Lunigiana is special and has been likened to a magical kingdom. The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre are ideal for swimming and sailing. The area is criss-crossed with marked footpaths for walks to the hills and mountains. The airports of Pisa, Parma and Genova are all just over an hour away.

Distances: Fivizzano 5 km, Aulla (autostrada and trains) 20 kms, Cerreto Laghi (skiing) 20 kms, Lerici (beaches) 45 kms, Lucca 85 kms, Pisa (airport) 100 kms, Florence 150 kms.
