Description
Alle Borre: A Beautiful Traditional Tuscan Farmhouse with Pool
Located less than an hour and a half from Pisa Airport, up the scenic Garfagnana Valley and just 4 km from the lovely medieval town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Alle Borre is a beautifully renovated, traditional 260-year-old farmhouse. The property is set within approximately 2 hectares (5 acres) of private meadows, orchards, and sweet chestnut woodlands, offering breathtaking views overlooking the Serchio River Valley below.
The true beauty of this area lies in its stunning countryside, endless walking trails, historic hilltop villages to explore, and absolute tranquillity. The property also features a private swimming pool.
Property Potential
On the land sits an old barn (stalla) that has been officially registered with the local council. An application was submitted to determine whether it can be rebuilt or entirely replaced with a brand-new house.
The farmhouse is distributed over four levels, comprising a total of 18 rooms and a combined internal living area of 250 square metres.
It is currently divided into 4 separate apartments. One is used as the owners' private residence, while the other three have been successfully rented out during the summer months for the past 18 years. Over nearly two decades, the property has built up a loyal base of returning clients and new business, drawing a wide spectrum of visitors including walkers, artists, ornithologists, and lovers of all things Italian.
All apartments boast original chestnut-beamed ceilings and face the valley, offering incredible views overlooking the pretty little village of Torrite. Torrite is a scenic 3 km walk away and features a small supermarket and a local bakery for fresh bread every morning.
Communal Lounge: Located directly opposite the main staircase leading to the apartments.
The Loggia: Situated across the hall from the top apartment, this is a large, covered communal space open to the weather but sheltered under the main roof of the house—perfect for relaxing outdoors.
