Detached Home in the Garfagnana in its own land - Reduced for Quick Sale to 25000 euros This is a great opportunity to pick up a true bargain and have a single home for very little money. It is important for the purchaser to know that this property needs under-pinning on the right hand side of the building as we look at it.  This job has been estimated at 25.000 euros. Compared with buying a barn this property is excellent value for money.  These are the reasons why:- a) it is already an A/4 civil habitation so the purchase taxes are lower b) it already has all services connected including mains water and sewers c) it has a new roof d) it has a garage and car access albeit steep This property is in the Garfagnana within walking distance of the train station and several shops.  The property is set in the centre of the land. On the ground floor, one enters into a large living room with fireplace.  This fireplace also sends hot air around the house and hot water into the radiators.  Off this room is a small kitchen, the floor is then finished off with the garage.  Up the stairs there are three bedrooms, two of which are connecting, a bathroom with bathtub and a balcony. Apart from the underpinning, the property only needs the wiring updated and the cosmetics seen to. A true bargain.  

Village house for restoration in attractive location between Bagni di Lucca and Barga This house is actually deceptively large.  It includes one terratetto (terraced house) with most of the house next door included in the sale.  The main part of the house is on 3 floors and, although in need of restoration, is surprisingly sound.  The floors are of wood and will need some work, but the main structure, including beams appears solid.  There are lots or original features, including a stone staircase and the rooms are generous and will be comfortable.  There are 2 large rooms on each floor.  The portion of house next door, which will need to be re-connected to the main part, includes just the lower two floors but adds a good portion of volume to the property.  In all, there are 8 good sized rooms.  The second part of the property is currently accessed through it's own front door.  The roof is dry but will need work to bring up to the standards of a habitation.  However, the property is just one room deep and the second portion shares the roof with the neighbouring property so bringing the roof up to standard should not be a major issue. Across the path from the front door is a large terraced garden, quite steep in parts but with plenty of space to sit outside.  There is also a stone barn on 2 floors included which is in very good condition and includes a fireplace; ideal for a summer kitchen or BBQ area. The property is close to the main village car parking area and can be accessed by a short path or through a private pathway through the garden. There are good views from the house and garden.

Country house to be restored with land, barn on edge of village   Believe it or not, this property is actually in "Alta Versilia" above the Versilian Coast however, it is easier to access from the Serchio Valley. The property is accessed by quite a windy road but is close to a village with a lively restaurant and shop.  When we visited, we were also astounded to find a jewel of a restaurant within walking distance of the property.  The village is very close to the Matanna mountain and is in perfect walking and horse-back riding countryside. The house is itself is just 20 metres from the road within a small fraction of the village so the access is quite easy.  We are still awaiting the land plans but there is enough land to build a pool across the brook from the house. The house itself is in dire need of modernisation and currently has very small rooms.  For someone wanting a project, this is ideal as it is already classified as a house and so will not need the classification changed before purchase. Inside there are four rooms on each floor.  One enters on the first floor via a small terrace into a small dining area and kitchen with a fireplace, there is also an attached room that has permission to be raised up to the height of the house. Once, the house was two houses and so there are two staircases leading up to the three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The house is served by electricity and water but we don't think that it has proper sewers. Great for bargain hunters who don't mind being off the beaten track!

Rural Building to be converted into small detached country home with land In these times of uncertainity with regards to barn conversions, we have been assured that this rural building can be converted into a holiday home.  We currently have an architect looking to see if we can construct full car access however, the barn is close to a village and a car park so there are no difficulties with access on foot. We are currently awaiting plans for how the how the future home will be organised, this will be posted onto the site as soon as we have them.
