ISet in a panoramic position in the hills north of Lucca, this important historic property overlooks the Serchio Valley and enjoys sweeping views across the countryside and surrounding hills.

Entirely enclosed by walls, the estate has the character of a small private hamlet, comprising the main villa, a farmer’s house with a private chapel, a lemon house, a barn and several additional outbuildings.

The Villa

The property has very ancient origins: its foundations date back to the 12th century, when the site was probably used as a lookout point over the valley. The present villa was rebuilt in the early 19th century and later renovated as the owners’ main residence.

The main villa is arranged over three floors and extends to approximately 1,384 sqm, in addition to approximately 114 sqm of cellars on the basement level.

The interiors retain the character and proportions of a grand historic residence, with spacious rooms and impressive reception areas. The particular layout also makes it possible to organise the villa into several independent units while maintaining a connection between the different floors.

The Outbuildings

One of the distinctive features of the property is the presence of several independent buildings.

The farmer’s house, measuring approximately 327 sqm in total, includes residential accommodation and a private chapel on the upper floor, while the ground floor contains agricultural rooms, cellars and service areas.

The estate also includes a lemon house of approximately 132 sqm, a two-storey barn of approximately 152 sqm, as well as a wash house, a traditional chestnut drying house, a hen house and other smaller outbuildings.

The farmer’s house, lemon house and barn require renovation and offer interesting opportunities for restoration and further development.

The Garden

The property includes approximately 7,000 sqm of land, arranged over different levels and featuring mature trees, ornamental and fruit plants, camellias, antique roses, wisteria, citrus trees and olive trees.

A particularly charming feature is the small temple with its panoramic terrace, dating back to the early 19th century and enjoying beautiful views across the valley and surrounding hills.

The possibility of building a swimming pool in the lower garden has already been verified with the local Municipality.

Location and Potential

The property is located in the hills north of Lucca, in a private and panoramic setting while remaining within easy reach of the city.

The generous size of the villa and the presence of numerous independent buildings make this estate particularly suitable either as a prestigious private residence or for a more extensive redevelopment project, subject to current planning regulations and the necessary authorisations.

The villa is not subject to restrictions by the Italian Archaeological, Fine Arts and Landscape Heritage Authority.
