This magnificent historic property, for Sale in one of the most prestigious and scenic hilltop areas a short distance from Lucca, is a superb example of architectural restoration and residential enhancement. The main Villa covers a total area of approximately 380 square metres, blending harmoniously into a landscape of rare beauty, characterised by absolute privacy and a breathtaking view that takes in the surrounding valley.
The property boasts a centuries-old history: originally built in the 17th century as a rustic structure, it was transformed into a stately Villa during the 19th century. More recently, the property has undergone two major refurbishment projects: an initial conservation restoration carried out in 2004 and a subsequent, meticulous renovation completed in 2023, which has enabled the integration of the very latest standards of living comfort whilst respecting the property's period features.
The layout of the interior spaces has been designed to offer maximum functionality. On the ground floor, the heart of the living area is a spacious, modern kitchen, featuring a functional central island and direct access to the outdoors. Here, a dedicated entertainment area allows for al fresco lunches and dinners in a refined setting. The floor is completed by a spacious formal dining area and two further large rooms which, currently in their raw state, offer an extraordinary opportunity for customisation to create a private spa, a gym or a cinema room.
The first floor houses the reception area, with an elegant double living room ideal for entertaining. The sleeping quarters on this level comprise two double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, as well as an additional guest bathroom. Moving up to the attic floor, there are two further double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and additional spaces configured as a further suite. It is important to note that all the bedrooms are fitted with independent air-conditioning systems, ensuring an ideal microclimate in every season.
The property is further enhanced by a stone outbuilding of approximately 80 square metres, which has been perfectly renovated and is self-contained. On the ground floor, it features a living area with a kitchenette and a toilet, whilst the upper floor comprises two rooms currently used as double bedrooms, making it an ideal solution for accommodating guests or domestic staff.
The outdoor area is a veritable private park, fully enclosed, where lush vegetation ensures maximum privacy. The garden is dotted with several relaxation areas designed to take in the view. The heated swimming pool, positioned to enjoy optimal sun exposure, is accessible directly from the basement of the main building. This area also houses additional utility rooms and spaces with potential for development, which significantly enhance the intrinsic value of the investment.
Its strategic proximity to amenities and shops, combined with the tranquillity of its hillside location, makes this Villa an exclusive property, ideal both as a high-profile main residence and as an investment opportunity in the luxury holiday rental market.
