Property for sale in Tuscany: house for restoration close to Lucca

This property for sale in Tuscany is a very large house, requiring restoration, close to the medieval city of Lucca.

A large casa colonica of some. 775 square metres, with 7000 square metres of land, situated in the verdant hills just five minutes north of Lucca, this makes for a demanding project though one with huge potential. The neighbourhood, Monte San Quirico, is one of Lucca’s most prestigious residential areas, with views of the surrounding countryside and its villas, church towers, olive groves and vineyards. Not only would the property lend itself beautifully to the development of a truly luxurious single residence, it could also be easily divided into two large homes, or a series of apartments. The situation of the gardens and terraces on all sides of the house, as well as the various entrances would allow each apartment a private garden and entrance.

The house itself is in fairly good structural condition in most places so may not require a total rebuild. It is composed of at least 16 large rooms. One part of the structure is on three levels, the other two. The organisation of the interior spaces is comfortable and lends itself to a variety of divisions. There are several large fireplaces, and all of the rooms have ample windows. There are several large cantinas as well. The house is oriented to the south/southeast and will receive sunlight all day as a result of the house’s position.

Some of the flooring is original terracotta, while other parts of the house would require re-tiling. Many of the original doors and windows still exist, but would require restoration or replacement. In addition to the patios and gardens surrounding the house, there is a gently sloping lawn on the south side of the property.
