La Ferramenta - Detached Single Farmhouse with Original Features to Restore
This property is found just above Bagni di Lucca overlooking the convergence of the Serchio and Lima valleys. There is complete car access but it is via an old "strada vicinale" so, although a 4 x 4 is not obligatory, it is advised The location will be worth it though as the property is only ten minutes walk from Fornoli, Bagni di Lucca.
At the moment, the property is rather surrounded by trees but, as the land is owned by the vendor, we are optimistic that some of the trees will be cleared in the very near future giving this property a commanding view over the valleys as they meet.
The ground floor is actually the first floor at the front of the building due to the topography of the land. One enters the back of the building into a kitchen and living room with a fireplace. As the same tenant lived in this house for the last 40 years all the floors are original terracotta and the beams are still seen.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom.
Underneath the house are high and large cantinas which could almost certainly be transformed into living space.
The house is provided with private water from a well which is pumped into the house. The house also has electricity although the wiring will need updating. It will also need a septic tank.
There is room for a pool but on land that the buyers will have to rent or borrow from the vendors under a lifetime contract due to the fact that the land is associated with a neighbouring agri-turismo.
