Millhouse with Original Features to be restored with plans already drawn This is one of those properties that comes onto the market rarely as it is so close to Lucca and is not yet restored.  It still has all the original features and will make a stunning 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home. The property already has a new main floor.  The roof will need replacing, although there is a watertight temporary roof in place.  The land is ideal for a pool and projects to the rear.  There is also the original arched aquaduct that fed the waterwheel.  The waterwheeel itself is missing but the olive press remains as well as the grinding stones.  These all make great original, if not historic, features.

Roadside property between Bagni di Lucca and the ski resort of Abetone                Located on the main road between Bagni di Lucca and Abetone, this property has great car access with just enough space to park a car along side the house, after a little improvement.     There is a small strip of garden, along the road and about 100M in length. The building is protected from falling rocks from further up the hill by a steel mesh barrier.   The house was originally a chestnut store. The floor is missing but the roof was replaced at some stage and is mostly sound. The building offers a completely open volume of about 5,5m depth by 6.6m width and a height under the eaves of about 5.7m. Thus it could be converted to a two-storey house of up to 68m².   The construction is in stone and the front elevation has a large opening, that could make a great feature, and two large windows. A third window opening has been closed up in the past. The right-hand side elevation has a large window at the upper level, which could form a new door as it is at ground level higher on the hill.   The building would make a pleasant "upside-down" two-bedroom house and is at a very interesting price.

Barn for restoration in village location with garden   This barn is located in a popular village quite close to Lucca.  The property is for restoration but is in surprisingly sound condition.  The roof is good, the floors are solid and there is already water and electricity.  There is also a small garden and great views.

Currently, access to the property is across a neighbouring courtyard, but there is permission to create an arched staircase through the lower retaining gerden wall, up into the garden itself and then to the house.

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.
