Detached, two bed house to restore, with an outbuilding, sitting in land of approx 6,000 sqm (1.5acres) on the edge of a very pretty hilltop village in the Lunigiana hills of Tuscany.

There is also an outbuilding, on two levels of 90 sqm, which could be a useful guest suite (subject toplanning). There is a flat, grassy area close to the house which would be perfect for a swimmingpool (subject to planning). There is a project in place to restore the property to create a three bedhouse plus guest unit. It is likely that the house could be returned to the original stone of the area.This will all required planning permission, which we anticipate is likely to be granted. Privatedriveway and parking.

The house sits in a quiet and peaceful location on a hillside with lovely views, between LiccianaNardi and Bagnone on the edge of a little hilltop village. Bagnone is a charming medieval towndominated by a castle and a cobbled piazza is ideal for watching the local town life go by whilesipping a cappuccino in one of the many cafès. Cobbled lanes with interlinking archways andrestaurants hidden under the stone vaults, shops offering local produce and the backdrop of themountains make this a particularly pretty town in the area. Licciana Nardi is a town in the Taveronevalley with a 13th century pedestrian street flanked with local shops. Central in the town is thePiazza del Municipio which hosts the 16th century Malaspina castle and many festivals such as theChestnut Festival in the autumn. The castle is linked to the baroque church by a covered bridge sothat the nobles had direct access to prayer and dealings with the local priest. There are also a bank,schools, restaurants and medical facilities. The nearby village of Monti has a castle on the hill aboveand offers a good selection of amenities.

The rolling landscape is liberally sprinkled with castles of Medici or Malaspina vintage and for loversof the coast the sea is only just over half-an-hour away. The golden sandy beaches around Lericiand the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre (UNESCO World Heritage site) are ideal for swimmingand sailing. The area is criss-crossed with marked footpaths for walks to the hills and mountains.The Tuscan towns of Florence, Lucca and Pisa make great day trips to take in the art andarchitecture treasures, or just to soak in the italian life, and the coastal towns of Pietrasanta,Viareggio and Portofino are perfect for an aperitivo in the sunshine. Importantly, the airports of Pisa,Parma and Genova are each just over an hour away.
