Village house for restoration in the lower Garfagnana This traditional village house is in one of the most panoramic locations in the Garfagnana.  The house is in basically sound condition with a solid roof.  There is a small patch of garden to use as a terrace or for sitting outside.  There may also be the possibility of constructing a balcony to capture the great views.

Village House to be restored in the heart of Garfagnana Valley       2bedrooms* 1 bathroom*2 cellars   This house is located in the Garfagnana Valley in a pretty village in the municipality of Camporgiano.  The house has good car access and it is possible to park right outside the front door for loading and unloading.  There is a new roof but inside it needs complete restoration.   The house it’s on 2 floors plus the cellars.   On the ground floor there are 2 cellar rooms, one quite big and the other a perfect size for the central heating boiler.   On first floor there is the entrance, a dining room with small kitchen area and the living room. On the second floor there are 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.   This is a restoration project, but with a new roof you are already on the way to making a perfect "Toe in Tuscany" property.

Original Tuscan Stone House of about 160 M Sq with land for Restoration and outbuildings     This traditional Tuscan farmhouse is for complete restoration. The original stone roof is still in place but has holes and will need complete overhaul as well as a new waterproof felt. The property is large, with approx 160m² on three floors with two rooms on each floor and ladder stairs. The property is not habitable and needs extensive work.   A large ruined barn of about 39m² is adjacent to the house. It needs a roof but should restore into a 2 storey building. There is also a single floor shed at other end of the main house of about 20m².   Water is available from a natural spring about 20m away. The spring was roofed and controlled but has collapsed and needs re-building.   The house is accessed by 6km of dirt road in reasonable condition and mostly fairly level. The road also serves a neighbouring agriturismo, and a number of other propeties, some in seasonal use. The road is maintained by Comunità Montana.  The actual site itself will require a bridge to be built across the stream. There is also a new road being built which passes the house and will be tarmaced to accompany an underground high tension electric pipeline for a new HEP station further up the river.  We are investigating whether the owners of Casa Capraia will have use of this road.A large portion of land is included. The land is a 16 Ha tract, over 1 km long. This is mostly beautiful forested land running along one side of a stream. However, this is not for dreamers this is the property of a lifetime for someone with time and money to invest and who wants complete peace and quiet.    There are a number of outbuildings included in various states of disrepair/ruin, including two metati (chestnut stores), and another barn. Also, there is another small house on two levels near other end of property, i.e. about 1 km away. This last is by the steam so has water available.   The whole complex is located quite close to Castelnuovo di Garfagnana with all services and there are local shops in La Villa. Anyone contemplating this project should be aware that there are some problems with access to this property.  The house is on the other side of a stream and then uphill about 50M.  It needs an approach road or path of about 50M, then a foot bridge and then stairs to get up to the house.    However, once the access issue is resolved, whoever buys it will be rewarded with a classic Tuscan farmhouse with out-buildings and views and lots of land.  Plus, of course, the other complete house located quite close to the river and closer to the new road.  

Village House near the Lake of Vagli and Apuane Alps with Garden       4 bedrooms* garden*1 bathroom*barn   This house is located in the Garfagnana Valley just under the Apuane alps and near to the Lake of Vagli, famous for the “under water village” and also for the marble.   The house has a new roof, and just needs some updating and maybe a second bathroom.   There are 3 floors with 2 rooms on each. The second level has 2 terraces, one from the bedroom.   The outside space in from of the house is private and there is also a small garden with a wood barn that could be converted for use as a garage.    

Partially restored village home in the Garfagnana     Great “toe in Tuscany” property located in a small village in the Garfagnana valley. Close to Castelnuovo, Barga and Gallicano this house has excellent access and parking and is in convenient reach from all the main shopping areas and cultural centers. The house is partially restored and needs the utility systems put in place as well as some finishing work.  You can chose the materials according to your personal tastes and create your own little Tuscan nest.   The house is laid out on three levels: there are cellars with stone archways, living and kitchen areas on the 1st floor and a terrace off the 2nd floor which is one large open space.   This is a good starter project for someone wanting to stay under 100,000 euro.    

Semi-restored detached stone house with garden and metato in Garfagnana  3 bedrooms * 1 bathroom* garden     This house was partially restored by the owners who did the roof and the entire exterior. Inside the house needs to be completely restored, on ground floor it still has the original terracotta tiles and all the ceilings are made with beams and cotto. The house is on 2 floors; ground floor with a large kitchen with original fireplace and living room, there is also a small toilet room here, on first floor there are 3 bedrooms and a lovely terrace. It may be an idea to put in a second bathroom on the first floor.     Just 200M from the house there is an old chestnut barn “metato” and a small garden that comes with the house.  As the house needs to be completed all the service needs to be put in.   This is a great opportunity with a very interesting price

Semi-detached Home on First Floor with Beautiful Beamed cantinas underneath This home is very close to being ready to move into.  The main advantages is that it can be an excellent short and long-term  investment as it needs much more dash than cash to get the house ready to live in and there is even space for a pool. At the moment, the downstairs is used as a garage but it easily has the height to make it into further rooms should the buyer wish.  Upstairs is a two bedroomed apartment needing only cleaning and a bit of colour to make it attractive.  There is a fireplace and a large bathroom. Outside, there is over 1200 mq of land to have a hedge planted around and to be landscaped. A snatch at the price.

Country house to restore with two barns and land on the Garfagnana hills. This complex of houses is located in the Municipality of Fabbriche di Vallico and above the village of Vallico Sopra.  The small hamlet was originally a summer pasture area for the Vallico Sopra shepherds and they must have enjoyed the fabulous views over the Serchio river valley below. The house and the two barns need to be restored to make a large house and a guest house, as one of the barns is attached to the house. The house and the main barn are on 2 floors, the walls are made of local stone and the internal floors are made of wood. The other barn is a bit smaller and is also on 2 floors. The house is already connected to the electric system and to mains water, but the systems need to be redone. The land is mostly flat and, according to the local municipality, you can build a pool here.

3 houses in panoramic location with land for restoration     This complex consists of 3 houses in varying states of repair. The main house requires just light restoration to make it habitable and has fabulous views from a large balcony over a river valley with a dam and reservoir. The other 2 houses are attached to each other, share the views, but require restoration. The houses are all either side of a path which follows the contours of the hillside to an old washing area and mountain stream which marks the boundary. Down from the properties is terraced land with enough space for a pool. All of the houses retain original features; fireplaces, beams and terracotta tiles.   It is unusual to find 3 houses, close together and all for sale at such a great price. Once finished, this could make a fabulous traditional Tuscan home with outhouses or guest houses. Alternatively, there is enough living space here and panoramic views to set up a rentals or B&B business.

Complex of 4 Hectares of Land, a barn, a large rural annex and a large home to be restored This property was a working farm until just six months ago.  The location is less than 2 km from the valley floor, for this reason there are no access problems and the complex is accessed along 300 m of private, partially tarmac road. Approaching the complex, one is greeted by a stunning centre courtyard with the three buildings surrounding it.  There is parking for at least six cars and a pergola. The main house will need restoration as it was restored in the 70's with out of date electrics and false ceilings.  The barn is still full of hay and the agricultural building is cleared but has recently been used for storing tractors. In the house, there are large cantinas for wine making and an oven for either pizza or bread making.  On the ground floor, there is a large Tuscan kitchen, a lounge and a dining room as well as a very particular fireplace.  The roof looks excellent as if it were constructed to last 100 years rather than the 20 that it has been there.  Upstairs much of the house is duel espect with 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. The complex has it own water source, 300 vines, tanks for irrigation and fruit trees.  

Get your foot in the door with this one! This property is in a village with easy car access right up to the door for deliveries but the main parking is about 40 m away. Just look at the views from the terrace! The house has electricity and should be connected to the mains however, it will need complete re-wiring inside and a bathroom installed. As the property is untouched, there are still historic features such as fireplaces and beams. One of the floors may need strengthening. The entire restoration should only cost 30.000 euros so to get a habitable house for this money is a real find. Great Starter Project or investment!

Traditional Tuscan Farmhouse with land for renovation. About 150 M sq of house * attached terrace * panoramic position * land This Casa Colonica, or traditional Tuscan stone house, is in a stunning panoramic position in the Garfagnana valley. This is a good sized house surrounded by both flat and terraced land. Access is by an unpaved road that leads to a handful of houses nearby. The house will require a full restoration but offers beautiful unspoilt scenery and a private and quiet location. The nearest shops are about 15 minutes drive and Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, a bustling city-town, is about 25 minutes away. An interesting restoration project for those who love the mountains and are looking for a peaceful panoramic position. The price on this property has been increased due to a requirement to buy a right of way and access to the water supply from a neighbour.  The new price shows the total cost to make this a feasible project.  

Village home for renovation with many original features plus land. Tuscan fireplaces * beautiful features * architect project in place for reconstruction This house is like a step back in time as it has not been subject to one of those horrendous 1970s restorations. Everything about this house says character.  We have recently taken an architect up to the house for his assessment of the work to be done on the house.  There are a couple of cracks but these are due to some slippage that took place during the 1980's and 1990's.  Since then, there has been no further slippage because the comune have underpinned the house.. A couple of beams need replacing and the house needs a new roof!  The guy living there now has living there for almost 60 years! The Italian Property Gallery have been given this house to sell by an architect so for this reason there is no need to worry, just jump right in and we'll look after the rest.  The house is habitable and has mains electrics that need re-wiring, water and mains sewers. The village is very popular and on the Lucca edge of the Garfagnana.  It has a bar and farm shops selling local products. Buy a piece of Tuscan history!

Secluded house in the Garfagnana with land for restoration. This house is situated outside a village in the undulating Garfagnana Valley. It has a fantastic location because, not only does it have a wonderful view across this open valley, but it also enjoys complete privacy. The land in front of the house forms a small hill so no one can see the property from either the village or the road. The land is supplied with natural water springs so installing and filling a pool should be easy. At present there is no project on this house so it provides the investor with 220mq to design their own interior.
