Last year investors spent €5.5 billion on property in Italy, an increase of 10% from 2013. Of all Italy’s regions, Tuscany remained the most popular for foreign buyers of real estate.
Brimming with character and history, Tuscany is where world-famous art cities such as Florence, Lucca and Pisa are located. It is a land of glorious green countryside, stunning coastline and impressive mountains. It is easy to see why Tuscany is Italy’s most visited region and why buying Tuscany real estate appeals to so many.
A dreamy lifestyle based around fine local food and wine, the natural splendour of the surroundings and breathtaking architecture help to drive demand amongst overseas property buyers. Tuscany is most popular with British, American, Benelux nationals, Swiss, German and Scandinavian buyers. There is also an increase in investors from Russia, the Middle East and China.
There is a renewed interest in properties close to the important cities of Florence, Siena and Pisa, but smaller towns and villages of supreme beauty are also attracting buyers.
This splendid example of neo-classical Italian architecture undoubtedly enhances the luxury lifestyle at this elegant property. With its excellent location, just outside Pisa, the extravagance of the rare offering will excite even the most discriminating buyer.
The historic property boasts architectural splendour and everlasting grace, with a sensational main villa dating back to the late 1700s or early 1800s, horse stables, a private garden of 5,000m2 and a large meadow. There is also the option to buy an additional farmhouse for restoration, as well as another 1,000m2 of land next to the villa.
With its stellar location and architectural heritage, the substantial size of the property makes it ideally suited to serve as a prestigious residence for a discerning family, or else a striking business venture that could become tourist accommodation, or a site for weddings, events and meetings.
The estate’s commanding presence begins with the streetscape: the stately façade, then the stunning entrance hall, the attractive hallway and the beautiful staircase. Here is a refined and historic property, one of spectacular beauty inside.
Designed to accommodate both a formal lifestyle and family environment, the impressively elegant villa provides approximately 1,000m2 of generously scaled luxury. The timeless charm of the distinguished classic Tuscany residence is at once authentic and magnificent.
The ground floor is composed of two bedrooms, a sala/lounge, office/study, dining room and kitchen. The immense living area, on the first floor, has a real wow factor. This breathtaking sala principale measures approximately 100m2 and is characterised by high ceilings and frescoed vaulted plaster, features that are also found in the adjacent sala minore, from which one may exit onto the terrace. The terrace offers splendid views of the garden. The main floor offers a symmetrical layout with the two salas in the centre, surrounded by four bedrooms, each with ensuite or space for an ensuite. The top floor is an open plan attic, currently used for storage.
The residence is defined by an extraordinary blend of classical architectural principles and gracious taste that produces an imposing result. The well-proportioned rooms and soaring ceilings optimise the property’s natural light, creating luminous and elegant spaces, refined by a selected palette of precious materials and exquisite detailing. Exuding Old World allure and gracefulness, the grand family house retains many features of its glorious past, such as beautiful original terracotta floors, wood beamed or frescoed ceilings, stone and marble furnishings, and plastered ceilings with handcrafted designs.
Situated to the rear of the villa is a large rectangular-shaped, walled garden with a bamboo grove. While the villa faces the street, the rear garden lends an atmosphere of natural peace and quiet, making it hard to believe the city of Pisa is only ten minutes away.
Boasting standout convenience, the traditional property is located in a charming small village, only a few minutes’ drive from the centre of Pisa. Pisa’s international airport is nearby and the city of Lucca can be reached in about 25 minutes. There are two famous thermal spas within 15 minutes of the property (Terme di San Giuliano and Terme di Uliveto).
Offering high-style living in an exclusive environment, this superior residence boasts the ultimate expression of classical refinement and allure.
