LA CASA DEL PERO (THE PEAR HOUSE) A small townhouse in need of renovation in the heart of an authentic Tuscan village, with a private garden and land. There are homes that impress not with their luxury or size, but with their location, the atmosphere that surrounds them, and what they could become. LA CASA DEL PERO (THE PEAR HOUSE) is one of these. We are in Convalle, a small and characteristic village in the municipality of Pescaglia, in the province of Lucca, immersed in the green Tuscan hills and still characterized by narrow streets, ancient stone houses, and the tranquil pace of a small, historic town. The house is located very close to the town's main parking lot. After parking your car, it's just a 50-meter walk down a narrow street in the historic center to reach the entrance of the house. The townhouse has a usable area of approximately 56 square meters and a total gross floor area of approximately 100 square meters, including the cellars in the basement. Upon entering the house, you enter directly into the simple and cozy kitchen, which leads to a hallway leading to a bedroom and a bathroom with a window and shower—the only room in the house that has been renovated, albeit many years ago. Going upstairs, we find a second double bedroom, a small single bedroom, and a convenient storage room above the stairwell. The basement, accessible only from the outside, completes the property with two cellars measuring approximately 35 square meters, useful for storage, a garage, or utility space. But it's when you step outside that this small property reveals perhaps its most delightful aspect. Directly opposite the entrance, just five meters from the house, is a small private garden, currently in need of tidying and redesigning, home to a persimmon tree. It's easy to imagine it restored: a table, a few chairs, a bit of greenery, and a space for breakfast on summer mornings, al fresco dining on cooler evenings, or simply reading a book in the shade. For those who wish, it could even become a small vegetable garden. On the opposite side of the house is a second plot of private land, accessible via a right-of-way over a paved courtyard belonging to another property. It is here that we find the pear tree that gives the house its name. LA CASA DEL PERO (THE PEAR HOUSE) should be seen for what it truly is: a house in need of complete renovation. The house is an older building and, with the exception of the bathroom, has never been properly renovated. The systems need updating, the electrical system needs updating, there is no heating system, and the windows are still traditional wooden ones with single glazing. Anyone who purchases this house will therefore have to plan for renovation work, but at the same time will have the opportunity to redesign the rooms and finishes to suit their taste, preserving the simple and authentic character of a village house. Convalle is not the place for those looking for shops, bars, or social life on the doorstep. There are no shops or commercial services in the village, except for the bus connection. And perhaps this is precisely one of the aspects that makes this place special. People come here to slow down, to find tranquility, to enjoy a few days away from the hustle and bustle, and to rediscover the pleasures of simple things. For these reasons, we imagine LA CASA DEL PERO as a small second home in Tuscany: a weekend retreat, a summer vacation, or a starting point for exploring Lucca, the Serchio Valley, and the Versilia coast. An old house, a small garden, a few fruit trees, and a still-authentic Tuscan village. Now it needs to be restored. But with the right project, LA CASA DEL PERO can once again become a small home full of life.
