3 Bed House for sale
Bagni di Lucca, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy
Full Description
Set peacefully amongst an olive grove, the house enjoys a wonderfully private and authentic Tuscan setting, yet is also within walking distance of a lively and welcoming village with local amenities. It is a particularly appealing combination — the tranquillity and beauty of the countryside, with the pleasures of village life close at hand.
The house is reached either by 4×4 vehicle, via the unmade mule track leading through the olive grove, or by a or by a short walk along a former mule track. This more secluded access is an important part of the property’s character and helps create the feeling of a genuine rural retreat, away from passing traffic and the noise of everyday life.
Arranged over two floors, the house offers generous and beautifully balanced living accommodation, making it equally well suited as a permanent residence, a relaxing Tuscan retreat or a welcoming holiday home for family and friends.
On the ground floor, the spacious sitting and dining room forms the heart of the home. Generously proportioned, it provides plenty of space for comfortable sofas and a large dining table, creating a natural setting for everything from relaxed family breakfasts to long, convivial Italian dinners.
Importantly, doors open directly from the sitting room onto the patio, creating a lovely connection between the interior and outside spaces. In the warmer months, the patio becomes a natural extension of the living accommodation — perfect for morning coffee, an afternoon aperitivo, outdoor dining or simply relaxing beneath the Tuscan sun.
The living room connects naturally with the separate, well-proportioned kitchen and dining area, creating a practical and sociable arrangement. The kitchen has plenty of space for everyday cooking while remaining close to the main living areas.
The ground floor also benefits from a bathroom, useful storage area and access to the staircase leading to the first floor.
Upstairs, the accommodation comprises three comfortable bedrooms and two further bathrooms, giving the house a total of three bathrooms. This is particularly convenient when the property is occupied by family and friends and provides the flexibility expected of a comfortable home for extended stays.
The layout creates a natural separation between the sociable living spaces downstairs and the private sleeping accommodation upstairs, giving the house an easy rhythm and making it particularly well suited to family life and entertaining.
A LITTLE PIECE OF THE TUSCAN LIFESTYLE
For international buyers, the attraction here is about much more than the accommodation itself. It is the combination of olive groves, countryside, outdoor living and village life.
Imagine waking to the peaceful surroundings of the olive grove, strolling down the old mule track into the village for a morning coffee, picking up fresh bread and local produce, or meeting friends for an aperitivo before wandering home.
For those who enjoy entertaining, the direct connection between the sitting room and patio makes outdoor living particularly natural. Long lunches beneath the Tuscan sun can easily give way to relaxed evenings with friends, perhaps accompanied by a bottle of local wine and the gentle sounds of the countryside.
And while the house is wonderfully secluded, you are not isolated. The nearby village provides the opportunity to enjoy the sociable side of Italian life without having to rely on a car for every outing.
With three bedrooms, three bathrooms, generous living accommodation, direct patio access and its beautiful setting amongst olive trees, this is a property that offers something increasingly difficult to find: a genuine rural setting combined with easy access to village life.
The 4×4 access should be considered by buyers as part of the property’s rural nature, while the alternative pedestrian route along the former mule track provides a charming and practical way of reaching the village on foot.
