Stunning restored complex with main villa and 4 more units, land and swimming pool

Charming and private Hamlet made up by an historic farmhouse and 3 cottages situated in a beautiful wooded valley in the Lucca hills, at the start of the Garfagnana National Park.

Despite the not very high spot among the high hills, the house is very sunny even in winter season.

The houses date from the mid 1700s and have many original features, including exposed stone walls and original ceilings with chestnut beams and cotto tiles. The property is set in three and a half hectares of pine and chestnut wood, with over 100 abundant olive trees and other fruit trees, with beautiful views over the valley. The small swimming pool and its sun terrace seem to hover over the trees – ideal for lounging in the Tuscan sunshine.

The Entrance
The property is accessed via a long concrete drive. The property is completely private. At the end of the drive is a wall with large wrought iron gates. Next to the gates is shrine dating from the 1740s, which is also owned by the property. This has an original, 18th century marble bas-relief of Santa Zita, patron saint of Lucca and born in Pescaglia in the 11th century.

The Swimming Pool
The pool measures 8x4m and seems to hang above the trees, giving wonderful views across the valley. The whole area was remodelled in 2004, with the addition of a brick path with stone steps, a large brick patio area and a wooden deck suspended over the valley.
