Ancient Paper Mill Converted Into A Home

Fascinating prestigious property, largely in need of restoration, is for sale at a stone throw from the center of Lucca in a flat area. The property in question has become part of the historical-cultural heritage, classified by the Superintendence as a historical asset, as it was once an important former paper mill, forming part of the industrial fabric of the last century. The historic residence, which extends over an internal surface area of ​​approximately 1550 sqm, is surrounded by a 1600 sqm garden and is enclosed by ancient walls. It reflects the typical Tuscan style, with traditional facades in pink tones, double arched windows and antique terracotta floors.

With an internal surface area of ​​1500 m2, the villa currently includes three already renovated apartments: one of 200 m2, another of 150 m2 and a third of 100 m2. The remaining part of the building requires renovation works. The first two apartments, in excellent condition, have 3 double bedrooms with private bathrooms and 2 bedrooms with a shared bathroom respectively. The third apartment, located on the ground floor and with an independent entrance, overlooks the street. On the upper floor there is a panoramic covered terrace, ideal for outdoor lunches and dinners. Furthermore, there is the possibility of combining the apartments into a single large housing unit, thus increasing the versatility of the property.
The outdoor spaces include a garden surrounding the villa. A part of an industrial warehouse, dating back to the 1950s, offers numerous options for a possible conversion of the space, which could be used for new structures or an expansion of the surrounding gardens.

This property represents an extraordinary opportunity for customization and constitutes a very promising investment. Its privileged position is perfect for the creation of a B&B or for the creation of an exclusive summer residence. The centrality of the Lucca Plain is a notable advantage, facilitating access to fascinating and famous cities such as Pisa, Lucca and Viareggio. The strategic position and proximity to the main communication routes offer the opportunity to explore and discover this rich and fascinating Italian region.
