Villa For Sale In Lucca, Sant'alessio

Stunning historic villa with a total floor area of approximately 750 square metres, currently for sale in one of Luccas most exclusive and renowned areas. The property enjoys a privileged location, nestled in the picturesque countryside of the foothills of Lucca, in an extremely sunny and panoramic setting that guarantees peace and tranquillity. Despite the atmosphere of complete rural seclusion, the residence is situated a short distance from Luccas historic centre, ensuring quick access to all the citys main amenities, offices and shops.
A majestic tree-lined avenue, comprising mature, tall trees, affords the villa a high degree of privacy and seclusion, shielding the property from outside view despite its strategic location just 3 km from the city walls. The property is complemented by a vast park of approximately 40,000 square metres, which extends harmoniously around the main building, offering extensive, immaculately maintained green spaces. The property also includes a substantial outbuilding requiring renovation, totalling approximately 600 square metres, which offers significant potential for the development of additional residential or hospitality accommodation, as well as two functional carports measuring 35 and 20 square metres respectively.
The manor house stands three storeys high above ground level and underwent a meticulous restoration in the 1990s. This restoration was carried out with the aim of preserving the original architectural features of the historic villas of Lucca, respecting both the layout of the interior spaces and the building techniques of the period, through the use of high-quality traditional materials.
The main entrance to the residence is via a spectacular double staircase leading to the first floor, historically known as the piano nobile. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by an imposing reception hall, characterised by exquisitely crafted frescoed walls that bear witness to the propertys historic prestige. The piano nobile also features a kitchen-diner, a practical utility room, a formal dining room, a cosy sitting room with a fireplace, and a private study, also adorned with a period fireplace. The sleeping area on this level comprises a master bedroom, a twin bedroom, a guest bathroom and two further fully fitted bathrooms.
The ground floor, characterised by spacious and light-filled rooms, comprises a second large living room ideal for socialising, a sitting room with a fireplace, a further spacious living room also featuring a fireplace, a large fitted kitchen and a practical laundry area. The floor is completed by two bedrooms, a bathroom and a utility room housing the villas services.
The second floor is distinguished by its versatile layout, including a large multi-purpose room, a study with a fireplace, an additional kitchen and three further bedrooms served by two bathrooms. An element of extraordinary historical and spiritual value is the presence, on this same level, of a perfectly preserved private chapel. This property represents a rare opportunity in the luxury property market, combining the charm of history with the functionality of the building, all set within a landscape of unrivalled beauty just a few minutes from the heart of Lucca.
