Il Vecchio Convento Business Opportunities in Barga

Within the walled city of Barga, there is an oasis of peace and tranquility with all facilities of a modern city to hand.  The walled complex consists of three buildings, two of which are habitable, these two are set above the third which is the main structure of a 13th century convent and offers a further 200 mq of development space.

The terrace is very large and commands a wonderful view across to the Alpi Apuane Mountains.  The 'secret garden' is set just under the location of the Barga Castle and the containing wall even contains a doorway that would have led up to the castle.

The main part of the property has been restored in a manner to allow a true feeling of openess and space.  This area consists of kitchen, utility room, bathroom, massive open-plan sitting room and dining room with a fireplace.   Upstairs are two spacious double bedrooms and a single room.  There is a second, large bathroom on this upper floor.

During the busy holiday season, the owner moves into a second floor apartment in the adjoining annex  with its spacious bedroom, bathroom, study, living room/kitchen and fireplace, this unit could actually be rented out too. There is also a gound floor suite with a bedroom, sitting room and private cloakroom which makes a very attractive lodging.  The property comes with a large toolroom on site.

Underneath is a true piece of history, as there is between two and three storeys of 13th century convent that could be converted into rooms or mini-apartments.  200 mq of the 500 mq of building, are here.

This property is a very successful rental property that both houses and maintains the current owner.  There are other opportunities surrounding this property such as a cultural centre whilst still being top real estate in a very popular tourist city.
