Small Estate Near Pescia

ITALY, TUSCANY, PISTOIA, PESCIA

REDUCED!

Small estate consisting of 2 superbly presented detached traditional Tuscan stone farmhouses and a ruin to restore, set in a unique panoramic position with countryside views that take in 4 picturesque medieval hill villages.

The main farmhouse provides a beautiful family home set over 3 floors and the second farmhouse (80 metres across the olive terraces) is a great potential rental opportunity.

There is also a further 3rd ruined stone cottage on the land available for development subject to planning consent.

Located between historic cities of Pisa and Florence, 1 hours drive to either. Close to beautiful Lucca and yet only 2km from medieval village of Vellano and 8km from the market town of Pescia. The properties are set in their own valley but are only 350 metres of surfaced road from the provincial tarmac road.

Land: 3.7 hectares (about 7 acres)
