6 bedrooms country house, 188 m²

Borgo a Mozzano, Lucca (province)

CASALE DELLO STAGNINO There are places just waiting for someone capable of imagining a new life within their walls. My name is Casale dello Stagnino, and today I want to tell you my story. I'm not a perfect house, ready to be lived in. I'm something different. I'm an old farmhouse that has lived, that bears the ravages of time, and that today awaits someone capable of looking beyond my current condition to discover everything I could be again. I'm in Valdottavo, in the municipality of Borgo a Mozzano, in a corner of Tuscany where hills shape the landscape, greenery accompanies the seasons, and tranquility is still a pleasant daily reality. The town center is just under a kilometer away: close enough to easily reach the main services, yet far enough away to enjoy the peace of the countryside. And the route to reach me is already special. You'll have to cross a characteristic little bridge, beneath which flows a small stream. The pleasant sound of water accompanies this corner of the countryside, providing a sense of tranquility that seems to belong to another time. After crossing the small bridge, a left turn will lead you to me. And here I am, with my ancient stone walls, my generous spaces, and a story just waiting to be told. The stone tells of my origins and my connection to this land. Today, time has profoundly affected my appearance, but try to imagine me after a careful renovation, capable of respecting and enhancing my identity. I could transform myself into a classic Tuscan stone farmhouse, one that seems straight out of a postcard: carefully restored facades, natural materials, warm and welcoming spaces, a beautiful garden, and countless nooks in which to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside. A home capable of preserving the authentic charm of the past, yet with all the comforts of contemporary living. I am an ancient farmhouse of approximately 300 square meters, with a usable area of approximately 188 square meters. I am currently divided into three residential units, for a total of approximately ten rooms, plus two cellars. My future renovation could involve merging the three units into one large home, naturally after the necessary technical inspections and permits. Imagine a large living room with a fireplace, a spacious kitchen for gatherings with friends and family, welcoming bedrooms, guest rooms, and all those spaces that are often hard to find in modern homes. I could become a splendid country residence, a second home for long vacations, or, after the appropriate inspections, a property for tourist accommodation. But my charm doesn't end within the walls. A private garden of approximately 640 square meters extends along three of my sides, a green space that is one of my most attractive features. Here, you could create a well-kept garden with trees, flowers, and aromatic plants, a pergola for dining on summer evenings, relaxation areas, and a beautiful lawn for children to play in. At the back, I also have a shed and an antique oven, a testament to the country life of yesteryear. I like to imagine that oven back in action, amid the scent of freshly baked bread, homemade pizza, and the laughter of friends. A small country road runs along my front door, while my private land extends along the other three sides. So, I'm not completely isolated, but I retain all the authentic atmosphere of old country houses. Now, however, I have to be honest with you. Time hasn't passed without leaving its mark. I need a complete and major renovation. The roof needs to be redone, the electrical and plumbing systems need to be rewired, and a comprehensive overhaul is needed to restore my safety, functionality, and beauty. Some attics still appear to be in reasonable condition, but a qualified technician will need to verify their actual condition. Buying me means undertaking a challenging project, requiring financial resources, time, and passion. But it also means having the opportunity to transform an old Tuscan farmhouse into a home tailored to your dreams, choosing materials, finishes, and room layouts. The photographs show my actual condition, while some digitally processed images suggest how I might look after a renovation. They don't represent approved plans or work already completed, but simply ideas and possibilities to help you imagine my future. And then there's Valdottavo, my hometown. A quaint village in the Serchio Valley, where a strong sense of community still reigns, and where traditions live on through festivals, events, and cultural initiatives. Valdottavo is also known for its connection to theater and community life, offering an authentic atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet with services and connections to Lucca and other towns in the valley. Here, every season has its own charm: spring colors the hills, summer invites you to spend time outdoors, autumn offers wonderful shades, and winter envelops the countryside in a pleasant silence. I am Casale dello Stagnino. I am not a home for everyone, and I don't pretend to be. I'm not suited to those looking for a ready-to-live-in home, but to those who love old Tuscan homes, recognize the charm of authenticity, and understand that sometimes the most beautiful opportunities lie behind what today seems forgotten. I have space, a garden, an ancient oven, the countryside all around, and a vibrant town nearby. All I need is someone with the desire, patience, and ability to give me back everything that time has taken away. Because some homes are already beautiful when you meet them. Others become extraordinary thanks to those who choose to care for them. And perhaps, together, we can write the most beautiful chapter of my story.
