Nestled in the gentle hills of Lucca, this extraordinary historic villa is one of the most charming noble residences in northern Tuscany. Located in the municipality of Capannori, just minutes from Lucca’s historic center and the beaches of Versilia, the property combines historical value, architectural prestige, and exceptional potential for enhancement.
Designed in the second half of the 19th century by artist and architect Augusto Passaglia, known for significant monumental works in Tuscany, the villa still preserves much of its original decorations, frescoes, grand staircases, and artistic elements that testify to its historical importance.
A Historic Park in the Heart of Tuscany
The property is set within an ancient fully fenced private estate. The approximately 3,000 sqm park, enriched with cypresses, olive trees, palms, and centuries-old trees, ensures complete privacy and creates a typically Tuscan atmosphere.
The estate also includes historic service buildings, such as the old stables, carriage house, a greenhouse, and numerous outdoor spaces ideal for creating a panoramic swimming pool.
Interiors of Exceptional Artistic Value
The villa offers about 1,580 sqm spread over three main levels.
The entrance leads to a monumental columned hall with white marble columns and frescoed vaults, followed by important reception rooms, frescoed apartments, kitchens, historic cellars, and service areas.
The main floor houses elegant salons, studies, and interconnected rooms decorated with original frescoes, historic Tuscan terracotta and stone floors, along with the characteristic perspective effect typical of large Lucchese villas.
The property has a total of eleven bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
A Property with Infinite Potential
Although it requires significant restorative conservation work, the villa represents a rare opportunity to develop a prestigious private residence, a luxury boutique hotel, an exclusive event venue, or a refined residential complex.
Its strategic location, just minutes from Lucca, Forte dei Marmi, Pisa, and the main Tuscan art cities, makes this property a unique investment in the Italian real estate market.
