Description

Description of the Country Home in Lajatico, Tuscany

Nestled in the serene hills of Lajatico in the province of Pisa, Tuscany, this charming three-bedroom country home awaits its new owner who has a keen eye for renovation and a desire to breathe new life into this rustic treasure. Standing on a substantial 32 hectares of land with 1.5 hectares dedicated to mature olive groves and the remainder covered by lush woodland, the property offers a peaceful retreat from the bustle of modern life.

This home is perfectly poised for those who appreciate privacy and tranquillity. Accessible via a 2-kilometer unpaved road that reinforces its secluded setting, this fixer-upper is an ideal project for those looking to create a personal haven or a family getaway amidst the picturesque Italian countryside. The property, in need of a thorough renovation, presents a blank canvas awaiting transformation. While the structural foundation, including a recently refurbished roof, provides a solid base, the interiors and utility services like electricity and water need to be fully installed, offering you the freedom to design and customize your space.

Lajatico, a quaint village enriched with Italian culture and history, is famously known as the birthplace of the world-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli. The town itself paints a picture of Italian charm with local trattorias offering traditional Tuscan cuisine and community squares where local artisans sell their crafts.
