Historic Villa near Lucca for Sale with 34 Ha

Villa near Lucca for Sale. Sitting in the verdant countryside 300 metres above the town of Lucca, just 6km away, this historic villa has superb views over the landscape and the town. The other main attractions of the area are within easy reach including the coast and Florence.

Built on the foundations of a 12th century monastery, the villa was home to a famous noble family in the 18th century and has lately been used as a restaurant, but could easily be returned to its original state as a private dwelling or adapted for other uses.

Offering 420 sqm of living space on 2 storeys plus a large basement floor, the villa's beautiful traditional features are still present including brick arches, wooden floors, authentic fireplaces and its refined artisnal entrance with a double staircase. Near the house, there is a chapel as well as several small buildings which could be renovated and used as guest apartments.

The property has 34 hectares of land which includes an olive grove of 2 hectares with 400 trees and woodland. Around the villa, there are several terraces and a covered patio for outdoor dining. An ancient beautifully decorated fountain is connected to a local source and can be restored to its former glory. The property has ample outdoor parking and flat areas where it is possible to construct a swimming pool.

The property is in good condition but does need some work to modernise and customise the layout.
