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.
 
Price: €55000 Sold
