Villa Zum Verkauf In Forte Dei Marmi (Lu) In 5 Zimmern

Single-storey villa with a 350 sqm garden, restoration completed in 2026

The house dates from 1960, and for sixty-six years it has done one thing: stayed on a single level. No stairs, no second floor added during the good years, no attic carved out under the roof. In the afternoon the light comes in low across the lawn and stays on the living room floor until evening.

Setting

Vaiana is the residential part of Forte dei Marmi (Lucca, Tuscany), set back from the main provincial road: houses have gardens, the street carries no through traffic, and the neighbourhood is made of permanent homes rather than summer rentals in rotation. The sea is 1.5 km away — five minutes by bicycle, four by car. Forte dei Marmi is the stretch of Tuscan coast where Milanese and Florentine families have summered for a century; its pier and Wednesday market are ten minutes away by bike on quiet inland roads. Pietrasanta, with its sculpture studios, is eight minutes by car; Pisa airport forty minutes, Florence an hour and a half, Milan two and a half hours. The Apuan Alps behind the town hold the marble quarries Michelangelo worked from.

Outside

Pale render, white louvred shutters, exposed timber rafters running the length of the eaves. The garden is 350 sqm (3,770 sq ft) and wraps the building on three sides: turf lawn, a tall pittosporum hedge closing the boundary, cane screening to the west, fruit trees at the far end. A gravel path links the vehicle entrance to the rear without crossing the house. At the front, a covered loggia of 6.6 sqm (71 sq ft) under the roof overhang — from May to October, the most used room in the house. Two open parking spaces sit inside the gate.

Inside

75 sqm (807 sq ft) on a single raised floor, with its own private entrance. The living room and eat-in kitchen occupy 33 sqm (355 sq ft) as one space, opening onto the loggia through a full-height door. Two double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom: the first 15 sqm with an en-suite, the second 12 sqm facing the garden. Both bathrooms have a shower and a window. A two-metre corridor separates day from night — no pass-through rooms, no long circulation, which on 75 sqm is not a given. Six beds in total.

The restoration closed in 2026: services, windows, bathrooms and finishes are all new. The villa is furnished, with air conditioning, independent air heating, a security door, insect screens, a water softener, an alarm system and a service attic. Energy performance class F.

Why this one

In Forte dei Marmi, houses laid out entirely on one level, with no stairs and garden on three sides, are a small minority of the built stock — almost all local housing runs over two floors, and buyers looking for step-free living find little. Here there are 350 sqm of garden for every 75 sqm under roof.

There is also scope to extend the building. The figure is not fixed in advance: it depends on the applicable Italian building incentives and on health-and-hygiene compliance adjustments, and is calculated case by case with our surveyor or with a professional of the buyer’s choosing. The study is set up during negotiation, ahead of the preliminary contract.

Living here

It suits a buyer who wants Forte dei Marmi year-round without a large property to run, and equally a second home that sleeps six in summer with a garden for the bicycles. The house is already set up for annual or seasonal letting, for a buyer treating it as an investment. Price: 1,200,000 euro. Viewings by private appointment.
