The property is accessed by a delightful pathway over a bridge.
Attractive pathways provide access to the various buildings, which have been attractively renovated.
There is ample space for a pool.
First house is on three floors:
Ground floor
Cantina with all the original mill equipment. This could easily be converted into a large kitchen/dining/living area.
First floor
Large master bedroom with en-suite bathroom (complete with antique copper bath)
There is also a large fireplace with a pizza oven.
Second floor
A large bedroom (it could be divided into two) and bathroom with shower.
Mill barns
Large kitchen, living room, bathroom and laundry room.
Various other rooms which have been paved, wired and plastered, new windows and doors installed etc but are currently un-used.
The main barn has a roof terrace, with the possibility of opening a doorway from the livingn room.
Second house
This is located about 100 metres from the other buildings on the hillside.
Two double bedrooms, a bathroom and large kitchen/living area.
It also has its own private outdoor space.
All the houses are attractively renovated with new roofs; re-wired and new plumbing; all structural work has been completed.
The living room and kitchen are in the barn, whilst some of the bedrooms are in the main house.
This property offers many possibilities, such as a collection of rental units, a Bed & Breakfast, a permanent residence or a wonderful holdiday home!
The main house has oil fired central heating whilst the other properties have wood burning stoves.
Advantages
This property offers a variety of possibilities and there is scope to develop the buildings and land.
The asking price is very reasonable for the amount of land and number of buildings
The property is easily accessed from Pisa airport (50 minutes), Lucca (30 minutes), the coast (45 minutes) Florence (75 minutes) and the mountains ( Abetone and skiing is 60 minutes)
Weaknesses
Although there is a drive leading from the main road to the property, parking is about 50m from the properties.
The upkeep and maintenance of the land and garden would be a significant task. The current owner employs a local person to carry out this work.

1) Agency charges amount to a minimum of EUR 1,500, otherwise up to 3% of purchase price (see our SERVICES page for a full description of the assistance we provide)
2) Investigation of existing ownership and boundaries of a property, normally carried out by a geometra, generally costs from EUR 750 plus, as a rule, 0.10% of the purchase price
3) Notary fees are based on the declared value for tax purposes. There is no published tariff but experience points to about 3% on lower value properties, perhaps 2% on higher value
Please note that all professional fees are subject to IVA (Italian purchase tax) at 20%
4) Land registry + Government taxes:
a) 1st home, Italian resident: EUR 336 + 3% of declared value
b) 2nd home, or non-resident: 10% of declared value
