Villa for sale in Lucca, Italy

On the hills of Lucca, in a very panoramic position, 16th-century stately villa with private park for sale. The property (over 1,500 sqm) is currently under renovation and will be delivered to buyers completed with the finishes of their preference. The 10,290-sqm park surrounding the villa is laid out in terraces and could accommodate a panoramic infinity pool. The nearest amenities are found by driving slightly down the valley (about 4km by car) while the charming historic center of Lucca is about 20’ drive away. The villa is also close to the Tuscan coast of Versilia and centers such as Lido di Camaiore or Viareggio can be reached in less than an hour. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS, CONDITION AND FINISHES The manorial villa (1,489 sqm – 16,022 sqft) is a majestic 16th-century building structured on three floors, connected by two convenient elevators. The structure has been fully consolidated and made completely earthquake-proof, including the addition of special frames to the openings. The roof was also replaced with a new and lighter wooden one (complete with a 14-cm thick cork insulation layer) also equipped with an anchoring system for maintenance. All gutters and drains were replaced with new copper pieces. An anti-radon barrier has been installed on the ground floor. - Ground floor: service entrance, wine cellar with adjoining tasting room, massage room, indoor pool with whirlpool and counter-current swimming, wellness center (Turkish bath, sauna, Jacuzzi), relaxation room, service kitchen, laundry, service bathroom, and technical rooms; - First floor: employee quarters (living room with kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom), independent apartment (living area with kitchenette and bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closets), reading room, TV corner, reception hall, dining room with fireplace, breakfast room, professional kitchen, two offices and a chapel; - Second floor: master suite with walk-in closet and two en-suite bathrooms, two small bedrooms with shared bathrooms, four bedrooms with private guest bathrooms, and common living room with service kitchen. The property’s fine finishes (such as masonry vaults and terracotta floors) have been preserved wherever possible, while where replacement work was necessary, fine materials such as oak beams and marble were used, as well as Ariostea porcelain stoneware for the service rooms. The property is currently under renovation but buyers can choose the finishes to their liking and will receive the completed property based on their preferences. A small orangery (33 sqm – 355 sqft) is located just below the wall and could be used as a tool shed and/or storage room. Completing the property is a garage (27 sqm – 290 sqft) located adjacent to the villa and which could be easily converted into a pool house should they decide to build a swimming pool. EXTERIOR The villa is surrounded by a private park of 10,290 sqm (2.5 ac), entirely enclosed by a stone wall and arranged on various terraces that ensure excellent panoramic views of the surroundings of Lucca. The eastern portion of the park is all given over to a tree-lined garden with gravel paths and yards that ensure enough space to park several cars. There is the possibility of building a private infinity pool on the western side of the park to create a beautiful event area. Outside the wall, just across the road that runs alongside the property, a 2,500-sqm plot of land hosts a number of olive trees.
