Nestled at the heart of Tuscany, in the charming city of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, stands this rustic 4-bedroom Italian house. Offering you an idyllic existence, this house embraced by a variety of natural surroundings, welcomes you to experience the Italian way of life.
Set within a compound of various buildings, this classic Italian home is accompanied by a garage, cantina, and furnace room, a spacious barn, and a modern multifunctional 2-storey building. Very thoughtfully located, this house takes you away from the city's chaotic life, while ensuring a smooth access to essential commodities. The house enjoys numerous streams flowing around along with a private domestic water supply.
The main house expands over two levels. The lower level currently hosts wine vats and serves as a storage and workshop area. Here, you'll find a single garage and a technical room marking the place of a solid fuel boiler and a large hot water tank. The upper floor unfurls a wide living space of around 150m2, unfolding warm and welcoming spaces. Take a step inside through the front door and you find yourself in a commodious lounge with a classic Italian fireplace. Stroll further inside and you discover a kitchen, a standalone bathroom with a shower, an extra shower room, and 4 bedrooms, including one that is designed as a music/art studio. Two of the bedrooms open up with French doors to a sprawling balcony, bestowing splendid mountain views. The house also features a generous loft space, tidily equipped for accessibility.
On the compound, a massive barn plays a pivotal role. Above showcases a mezzanine storing hay reaped from the property while the ground level serves as a settlement for a horse. Adjacently, built chicken coops flaunt their purpose. Above the stable, an area multiplies in its use while optimally utilizing the breathtaking views spread around.
Adjacent to the barn, you find a historically preserved metato which is traditionally used as a chestnut drying space. Furthermore, a wood-fired bread/pizza oven lies in proximity, further adding to the charm of this property.
Another recent structural development on the property gives rise to a two-level edifice having a single room on each floor; the lower level currently holds agricultural tools and equipment whilst the upper level is designed as a guest room.
The buildings throughout this property are strategically located, forming a close-knit structure, engulfing the farmyard. Encircling the building layout, you'll find approximately 3 hectares of a different landscape presenting flat paddocks, grazing land, terraces, fruit orchards, and flower and vegetable gardens. All of these elements come together to serve an enchanting view of the Garfagnana Valley and the Tuscan-Emilia Apennines.
Moreover, the property is in a renovating condition, signifying an aesthetic transformation, and opening up limitless potential for the future owner. On the flip side, it retains enough charm and charisma in its current standing that well serves a comfortable dwelling. A wonderful opportunity for those wishing for a private residence or a sustainable house-business blending seamlessly with tourism accommodation or an inhabited agricultural venture.
