4 bedrooms detached house, 180 m²

Castiglione di Garfagnana, Lucca (province)

Garfagnana

Beautiful detached traditional stone farmhouse with outbuildings in a very sunny spot close to Chiozza village. Views over surrounding area and Apuan Alps. Close to “La Sponda” (“Riverbank”) stream, which can be heard flowing by.

The farmhouse (180 sqm) is in very good structural condition and has central heating. The roof was renewed a few years ago and is well insulated.

Built over 3 levels, it is laid out as follows-
Ground floor – large reception with open fire (30 sqm), dining kitchen (26 sqm), small double bedroom (12 sqm), shower room
Upper floor – hall/sitting room (14 sqm), 4 bedrooms (13 sqm, 12sqm, 11 sqm, 10 sqm), bathroom with window (4.5 sqm)
Cellars – 15 sqm and 12 sqm.

There are about 2.7ha (6 acres) of land surrounding the farmhouse, comprising mostly sloping chestnut woodland as well as a large terraced orchard and vineyard (both uncultivated for some time now). The outbuildings include a traditional stone chestnut barn, chicken coop, bread oven and another derelict barn

A flat area of land with lovely views at the start of the property would be suitable for a swimming pool.

A well stocked grocer, café/pizzeria and post office are less than a kilometre away, in the centre of Chiozza.

Chiozza is a very pretty, friendly village in the Apennine mountains, about 10km from the well known market town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana (which has a train station on the main Pisa – Lucca - Aulla line) and 75km (just over 1 ½ hours drive) to Pisa airport.

The beautiful walled city of Lucca is about 60km away. A 10 minute drive takes you up to the small local ski resort at Passo delle Radici (9km) while the large resort of Abetone is about 40 minutes. The coast is about 1 hour away.
