Villa à Vendre à Lucca, Chiatri Puccini

In an exclusive and commanding position, with panoramic views stretching as far as the sea and, on clear days, as far as the islands of the Tuscan archipelago, we are offering for sale this beautiful stately estate, situated in the hills between Lucca and Versilia. This historic property boasts inestimable cultural and artistic value, having been commissioned and built by the famous composer Giacomo Puccini as a place of rest and inspiration. Thanks to the vast private park surrounding it, the estate originally also served as a hunting reserve for the Maestro; however, its most significant aspect lies in the fact that the property provided the ideal setting for the composition of the renowned opera La Fanciulla del West.
The property complex, which requires renovation work to restore it to its former glory, comprises an imposing main villa totalling approximately 1,100 square metres, flanked by three further outbuildings of varying sizes: a first building of approximately 610 square metres, a second of approximately 160 square metres and a third of approximately 49 square metres. The main villa is distinguished by its rectangular layout, built using the characteristic red bricks typical of the Tuscan tradition, enhanced by elegant marble inlays adorning the door and window frames. Access to the residence is via a monumental marble staircase leading to the main building.
The internal layout of the spaces reflects the buildings grandeur. The ground floor welcomes guests into a large reception hall, flanked by a formal dining room, several sitting rooms, a spacious kitchen and Maestro Puccinis original study a room that still retains an atmosphere steeped in history. A marble staircase leads to the first floor, where the main sleeping area is situated, comprising three bedrooms, as well as an additional sitting room with a panoramic balcony. The second floor, in the attic, features a large central lounge and two further double bedrooms. The property is completed by the basement rooms, which serve as a large wine cellar and are divided into various utility and storage areas.
