The roots of this historic estate date back to the period between the 17th and 18th centuries, influenced by the architectural innovations introduced in the Lucca area during the Late Baroque and Enlightenment. The Italian-style garden, with an enlightened design, accommodates a new and charming swimming pool, offering an ideal retreat to cool off on hot summer days and fully immerse oneself in the beauty of the surrounding nature. With land planted with vineyards and olive groves, the property offers a combination of modern comforts and the charming atmosphere of times gone by.
The estate, which originally belonged to one of Tuscany's most noble families in the 18th century, consists of three main buildings. The 765-square-metre villa, spread over three levels, perfectly reflects the 18th-century architecture. The ground floor houses a large living room, billiard room, bedrooms and bathrooms, while the first floor offers a double living room, further bedrooms and bathrooms. The top level features a spacious habitable attic with a wood-burning oven, while the basement contains a 250 sqm cellar. The two-level farmhouse features a bright living room, a spacious kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. The private chapel next to the farmhouse is adorned with well-preserved frescoes.
A relevant detail is the presence of a high hedge along the side bordering the road, providing privacy from the view and sound insulation for the villa. Behind the villa, a small vineyard of 1,800 sqm and 100 olive trees in production contribute to the production of wine and extra virgin olive oil for private use. The southern part of the property is covered by woods of 2.7 ha, ideal for walks and relaxing moments in the shade. Finally, an unused field of 1.6 ha around the vineyard could be used for the cultivation of new vines or olive trees.
