Classic Tuscan Villa for Restoration close to Lucca with fabulous views and land
This classic Tuscan building, in the Compitese area just south of Lucca, is for almost total restoration. The location is fabulous with views towards the Alpe Apuane mountains in the distance and across the plain that runs west from Florence to the sea.
The proprety is only 25 minutes from Pisa Airport and sits on a sort of promontory overlooking the valley below. There is lots of flat land with beauful old olive tress and cipress trees in traditional Tuscan style.
The property was once a small convent and some of the ancient, probably medieval, features remain including a faded sun-dial painted on the exterior wall, which would be a great feature to restore, as well as a classic balcony area with medieval steps and Loggia.
Inside the property is in need of almost total restoration, with the roof requiring re-felting and bathrooms, a modern kitchen, re-wiring and plumbing. The interior consists of large rooms with original terracotta tiles and chestnut beams and original fireplace.
This may seem expensive for a re-build, but the location is truly fabulous and once retored this is everyone's idea of a perfect Tuscan home.
The price is also quite negotiable.
