TENUTA TRUDY - Exclusive Historic Estate for Sale in the Tuscan Countryside with Vineyard, Olive Grove, Woodland, and Pool, Just a Few Kilometers from Lucca's Historic Center
The prestigious estate for sale, located in the Lucca countryside, is a short distance from a charming medieval village. The property dates back to the 16th century and includes approximately 1,800 square meters of buildings, divided into the main villa, a guesthouse, an ancient barn, a chapel, a lemon house, and additional storage buildings. The estate spans about 5.8 hectares of land and outdoor spaces, featuring a small vineyard, woodland, an olive grove, a pool, and a secret courtyard.
The main villa, spread over four levels basement, mezzanine, first floor, and attic covers a total area of about 1,180 square meters and requires renovation to restore its former glory. Currently, it consists of large halls, service rooms, nine bedrooms, and four bathrooms. The structure is an enchanting blend of 17th-century architecture and later expansions. The basement houses the historic cellars, which tell ancient traditions. Originally used to store wine and oil, these spacious areas can now host events and gatherings.
On the raised mezzanine floor, the main entrance opens into a large frescoed hall, situated at the center of the villa. From here, you can access the kitchen with a dining room, a living room with a tea room, the library, and two bedrooms with a shared bathroom. 
Ascending to the first floor via a scenic staircase with a gallery, you are led to a spacious living room and a reading room, which separate seven bedrooms served by two shared bathrooms. An additional service staircase leads to the expansive attic, consisting of various partially habitable spaces that can be transformed into multi-purpose rooms or additional bedrooms.
In front of the historic villa is the guesthouse, a classic Tuscan farmhouse completely renovated with extreme elegance. It spans 330 square meters and includes six bedrooms and five bathrooms, distributed over two internally connected floors. On the ground floor, the living area includes a kitchen, a dining room, a living room with a service bathroom, and a hallway that also serves as the main entrance, along with a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. With a separate external entrance, there is a spacious cellar, also usable as a laundry and storage area for linens, and a laundry room. On the upper floor, a large living room leads to the master bedroom with a private bathroom and walk-in closet, as well as four additional bedrooms served by two shared bathrooms.
Adjacent to the villa, next to the guesthouse, is the old barn of about 230 square meters. This two-level building offers large spaces, many with direct external access, which can easily be converted into accommodation for service staff or guests. Next to the guesthouse is the small private chapel of about 50 square meters, consisting of the central main nave, decorated with frescoes framing the altar, and two side chapels.
Completing this luxury property for sale in Lucca are additional buildings, including the characteristic 30 square meter lemon house, a secondary building with a single glazed room discreetly positioned from the villa, ideal as a storage area and winter shelter for plants, as well as two small storage units, totaling about 10 square meters, located near the pool offering protected space for tools and garden maintenance equipment.
The historic estate for sale in Tuscany, near Lucca, includes a lush park divided into two adjacent areas, each about 5,000 square meters: one reserved for the villa and the other for the guesthouse. Both green spaces are organized as English gardens, with well-kept hedges and paths. A high hedge shields the park side facing the road, providing privacy and noise insulation. The guesthouse is surrounded by a manicured garden and has a 12 x 6-meter pool, with a terracotta solarium and gazebos for poolside breakfasts and aperitifs. Between the guesthouse and the old barn is a secret 69 square meter inner courtyard, protected by walls and featuring an ancient fountain, a barbecue corner, and a shaded dining area.
