VILLA DEDALO- Characteristic Tuscan stone property for sale on the first hillsides of Camaiore, situated in a panoramic position with sea view, with easy access, and  set in a plot of about 8,000 square metres, mostly olive groves, with various fruit trees and two large flat garden areas.The real estate complex, which has an imposing entrance that is set within the splendid stone walls that protect one side of the property, consists of two characteristic stone residential buildings dating back to the end of the 19th century, for a total of approximately 700 square meters, plus a swimming pool.
From the main entrance, a large courtyard acts as a hinge and connects the main villa and the farmhouse used as an annex, giving the sensation of entering a characteristic and ancient Tuscan village.The main villa, of approximately 500 m2, rises on three levels above ground and is divided into two independent real estate units that can be connected to each other, and requires various renovation works. On the ground floor, there are large rooms currently used as warehouses and cellars, which, through appropriate permits, could be converted into further rooms for residential use given the presence of high ceilings, some with barrel vaults and large openings.
From the central courtyard on the ground floor, an external stone staircase connects us to the first main floor, where, through a panoramic porticoed terrace overlooking the sea, we can access the main entrance to the villa. At this floor, to the right of the entrance, we find the largest property unit, consisting of a large living room divided by furniture into a dining and living area with a sea view and fireplace, the large kitchen connected externally to the patio at the rear of the villa. This is the ideal space for outdoor dining as it is equipped with a large pizza oven and a small building of about 15 square meters used as a laundry/storage room. Completing this level is a first bedroom with en-suite bathroom, equipped with a porticoed terrace, where it is pleasant to relax while admiring the property's olive grove and the sea.On the left side of the entrance corridor, climbing a few steps, there are two further large rustic rooms, totally in need of renovation.
On the second floor, reachable via a steep wooden staircase from the living room, we find the sleeping area, consisting of a large walk-in closet/study, which could be an additional bedroom, if necessary, as well as a generously sized double bedroom and a bathroom.
The smaller property unit has independent access and consists of a living room with kitchenette on the ground floor, as well as a bedroom with bathroom on the first floor, with a panoramic sea view terrace.
The second building, a stone farmhouse, used as an annex, is located on a lower terrace than the main villa and has two independent entrances, from the central courtyard on the first floor and from the garden on the street side on the ground floor.The farmhouse, in a good state of maintenance, is spread over two levels, the ground and first floors, for a total of approximately 185 m2, connected internally by a stone staircase. Entering the ground floor, we are greeted by a hallway and the stairwell, which divide the building into two parts: on the left the Tuscan style kitchen with adjoining pantry, and on the right a double living room with fireplace, living area and dining room as well as a first service bathroom.
A rustic attic floor with variable heights on the second floor completes this building.
Both buildings feature the classic finishes of Tuscan country houses such as terracotta floors, ceilings with exposed beams and bricks, as well as stone walls.
The property includes a swimming pool measuring 11.50 x 5.00 meters, surrounded by a sunbathing area surrounded by greenery.The property is an ideal investment for anyone wishing to live in a property with the charm of the past, on a hill with a view of the sea, in an easily accessible and reserved position, but not isolated and not far from the main facilities and beaches of Versilia.
