Villa Rustique à Vendre à Lucca (Lu) à Ottimo Composto Pour 5 Personnes

North-West area, in an exclusive location, a semi-detached rustic house from the late 1800s, free on three sides, situated on the first hills of Lucca. It overlooks the surrounding valleys with a commanding position and offers a 360-degree view of the beautiful Lucca hills.

The property is accessed through a convenient automatic gate leading to a private parking area with a canopy for two cars. From here, you enter the splendid garden, featuring a pergola with a large table surrounded by jasmines and vines. This leads to the courtyard at the house entrance, where there is another covered gazebo dedicated to a lounge and relaxation, right opposite the house entrance.

The house is spread over two floors and can be used either as a single home or as two independent apartments since the entrances are separate.

On the ground floor, you enter from a large porphyry courtyard with a wide view of the surrounding landscape. Inside, the house’s history envelops you, with a large open space that includes a beautiful stone kitchen (equipped with all modern appliances), an elegant living room with a pellet fireplace, and a dining area. Within the same space, there is a very convenient bathroom with a shower and an antique white marble sink.

A large brick arch, exposed stone walls, and decorations inspired by the agricultural world recall the room’s original use as a wine cellar.

From here, you enter a bedroom furnished with early 20th-century furniture and a window overlooking the vineyard in front.

Returning to the courtyard, you reach a covered terrace leading to the first-floor entrance. You are welcomed by a hallway from which the ancient terracotta staircase starts. At the top, there is a bright kitchen-dining room and a windowed bathroom with a shower.

Going up two steps, you enter a large living room with a fireplace. At its ends, there is a master bedroom and a room currently used as a study but which can also serve as a second bedroom.

The floor is made of antique terracotta baked in a wood-fired oven, and the ceilings are typical Tuscan style with beams and small joists. All the windows in the house offer a beautiful panorama.

The two apartments have separate heating systems with radiators. On the upper floor, an air conditioning system (inverter) has also been installed.

The property includes a cellar at the back of the house for a washing machine/dryer, a laundry sink, and storage, plus a storage room located under the covered terrace.

Each apartment covers 88 sqm, plus a 28.8 sqm cellar and a 6.7 sqm terrace.

In the garden, there is also a charming wooden shed for gardening tools.

If desired, the property can be used as a single home by using a door in the ground-floor bedroom that leads to the stairs going to the upper floor.

The property was renovated and modernized in 2019/2020 and is currently inhabited by the owners, who rent out the ground floor for tourism during the summer due to high demand from all over the world.

A beautiful swimming pool can be built in the large field adjacent to the property.

The property includes a large garden of about 2,500 sqm and three parking spaces, two of which are covered.
