Sustainable Tuscan Estate with Superb Views

Description

A rare, possibly unique, opportunity to acquire a self-sustaining estate, with nineteenth century origins – fully renovated to a quality standard in a traditional style and located in the wooded hills near Lucca.
This pristine estate comprises of 3 buildings, a 13m bean shaped heated swimming pool within its 7 hectares (over 17 acres) of woodland all set in a nature conservation area.
The views from the houses overlook the valley to the plains below and surrounding hills – as the property stands 1,500ft above sea level. It is private, tranquil and offers peaceful and comfortable living all year round.
There are solar panels for electricity, a private clean spring for water and abundant wood for the open fires for cozy winter days. There is underfloor heating throughout which is fed by solar panels via an air source heat pump. Any surplus electricity generated is fed into the National Grid and is income producing. The property benefits from good Wi-Fi and mobile connection. The main house is 300 sq. m. and has been divided into two separate residences which can also remain connected through dividing internal doors. For the first part, there is a large kitchen and living room on the ground floor, with 4 double bedrooms, a bathroom and shower room on the first floor. In the other half of the farmhouse on the first floor is a kitchen, 2 double bedrooms and a shower room. On the ground floor is a comfortable living room. All areas of the house have direct access to the outside terraces. There is a laundry in a separate building to the rear of the house.
A second small house, (a former oasthouse) of 50 sq. m. with kitchen, living room, bedroom and wet room, is located next to the main villa terrace.
A villa of 110 sq. m. is located slightly down the hill. It is an “upside down house” and has 3 double bedrooms, 2 shower rooms (1 en-suite) on the ground floor; with kitchen and living area on the first floor, leading onto 3 terraced areas. The properties have been meticulously maintained and do not necessitate any work. There is a ruin on the estate that can be rebuilt, adding the possibility of a fourth home.
