Casa Vistamonte Country Houses - to Restore in Lucca Hills

Large House for restoration with views and terrace

This large house is located in a characteristic medieval village, with bar, between Bagni di Lucca and Barga in Tuscany.  The property is a shell needing all interior floors and all services.  The roof was replaced 10 years ago but will also need some work, including a waterproof layer, before it will be up to standard.  However, the current roof is basically sound and has prevented any further deterioration of the property.

The house was originally 2 seperate properties.  The family of the current owners bought the piece next door in the 1940s.  The main house has some great traditional features, large beams inside that look to be mostly in good condition, arched doorways and attractive arched stone window surrounds.  There is also a rear entrance to the building with a small courtyard area; not large enough to sit out but an interesting feature nonetheless.

The second house also has traditional features and both properties can be connected and are under the same roof.

To the front of the main house there is a small grasy area which would be ideal for a terrace for sitting and eating outside.  From here, you aso have fabulous views of the valley with other medieval villages dotted over the hills.

There is also the possibility of purchasing 2 adjacent garden areas from different owners but both of whom have expressed a wish to sell. 

For the price, and it is negotiable, this is an excellent property.

It is large and once restored will be a fabulous traditional Tuscan house, full of original features, outside space (even without the other gardens) and great views.   Definately worth viewing.
