Aristocratic Tuscan Villa Near Lucca, Italy

This property is on the market for €4,800,000, listed with Precious Villas.

The Tuscan estate includes the 18th century villa, a restored farmhouse, and a private chapel, set in over 12 acres of lush grounds with a swimming pool, olive groves and vineyards in production.

A dreamy fixer-upper, the main aristocratic manor offers over 8200 sq ft of living space across 3 levels with 6 bedrooms, a large attic to be developed as well as 2700 sq ft of cellars in the basement.

The farmhouse, recently restored by the owners in a chic country style, provides independent accommodation and an additional 6 bedrooms.

Located just a few miles from the historic centre of Lucca, and less than 30 minutes from the Tuscan coast, the villa is ideally positioned as both a luxurious second home and an investment opportunity for rental income generation in one of the most desirable destinations in Italy.

But what makes Lucca, Tuscany such a desirable location for a second home?

For starters, the region is rich in history and culture, with stunning medieval and Renaissance architecture, museums, art galleries, and countless festivals and events throughout the year.

And if you're a food and wine lover, Tuscany is home to some of the world's finest cuisine and wine, with plenty of opportunities for wine tasting and culinary experiences.

But Lucca itself is a special gem. Surrounded by ancient walls, the city has retained much of its original character, with cobbled streets, beautiful piazzas, and a rich cultural heritage. And with its close proximity to the coast, you can easily enjoy both the Tuscan landscapes and the sea.
