Full Description
This country house with annex is situated in the heart of Tuscany, surrounded by picturesque hills in the triangle formed by Pisa, Lucca and Florence. The south-facing plot features a terraced garden with olive trees, which stretches right next to and below the buildings and offers a wonderful view of the hills of Buti. Just outside the garden gate lies a small vineyard with old vines for private boutique wine production, as well as another terraced olive grove (a total of around 450 olive trees).
The property has evolved over time in keeping with local rural traditions. It features a natural stone structure and architectural details that reflect its history. Ceilings with chestnut beams, Lucca bricks and exposed stone walls create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Access is via a gate leading into the fenced garden and onto the terraces in front of the house, which can accommodate two cars. From the first, spacious terrace with its magnificent views, a short flight of steps leads to a second, spacious sun terrace. It is ideal for al fresco dining and leads to the main entrance on the upper floor.
The upper floor opens out from the terrace onto a living room with a fireplace. From here, you enter the eat-in kitchen, which provides access to the front, covered panoramic terrace. The sleeping area comprises two bright double bedrooms, which also open onto the panoramic terrace. There is also a bathroom with a shower on this level, which was completely renovated in 2024.
A staircase leads down to the ground floor, which consists of a spacious, open-plan area with a stone fireplace and is ideal for socialising and relaxing.
It features ceilings with chestnut beams and, in some areas, beautiful natural stone walls. From the ground floor, there is easy access to the garden and the terrace at the front of the house.
The outbuilding houses a traditional wood-fired oven. It also provides utility rooms such as a laundry room and storage rooms. Part of the outbuilding is dedicated to winemaking.
The house is fitted with a solar panel system, a pellet stove and a Daikin air-conditioning system. Perfect for use as either a main residence or a holiday home, the property is ideal for anyone wishing to enjoy authentic Tuscany in peace and quiet, surrounded by nature and history. It is ready to move into, although the single-glazed windows, doors and shutters could be updated in due course, while the outbuilding roof shows some signs of water ingress.
Overall, this is a versatile property that can be enjoyed straight away, with plenty of scope to modernise and develop it to your own taste.
The property is situated at the end of a small unpaved road and offers pleasant privacy. At the same time, it is only a few minutes’ drive from all shopping facilities and amenities. The picturesque medieval villages of Buti, Bientina and Vicopisano are in the immediate vicinity.
