Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy

The property is composed of several buildings: the main house with garage, cantina and furnace room. A large barn, metato with pizza oven as well as a more modern multi-functional 2 storey building. Located rurally and above the village of Filicaia under the municipality of Camporgiano the property is both rural and has easy access to all necessary amenities. The farm benefits from several streams and a private domestic water supply.

The main house is built on 2 levels. The lower level/cantina having existing wine vats is currently used for storage and as a workshop.There is an adjacent single garage and technical room where the solid fuel boiler and large hot water tank are situated. Wood furnace also provides hot water during the winter months and solar panels during the summer. The upper level then consists of the living space with a surface area of approximately 150m2

Entering via the front door is the living room where we find a large open fireplace. Also the kitchen a bathroom with shower plus additional separate shower room and either 3 or 4 bedrooms. 1 is currently used as a music/art studio, 2 have double French doors leading onto the balcony with outstanding views of the surrounding mountains. There is a generous loft space with purpose built access.

The large barn has an upper floor is used for storing hay (cut from the property) and the lower level along with an adjacent stable is used for a horse. Adjacent are purpose built chicken coops. Above the stable is a multipurpose area with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and the lake at Pontecosi.

The metato has not been altered and so it remains as a classic chestnut drying space and adjacent to the metato is a wood fuelled bread/pizza oven.

In addition there is a more recent structure also set on two levels that consists of a single room on each floor. The lower currently used to store agricultural tools and equipment while the upper floor has been set up as a guest room.

The buildings are situated in close proximity thus forming a small nucleus centred by the farm yard. Surrounded by approximately 3 hectares of a variety of flat paddocks, grazing land, terraces, fruit orchards, flower and vegetable gardens all with a remarkable view out over the Garfagnana valley and the Tuscan-Emilia Apennines.


This property works very well in it's current state but undoubtably has great potential. Perhaps improved as a private residence or further developed towards self-sufficiency or for a home-business for tourism/accommodation purposes or for an inhabited agricultural business.
