5 bedrooms detached house, 188 m²

Casola in Lunigiana, Massa-Carrara (province)

Lunigiana

Set in the gentle hills of Lunigiana, this detached farmhouse offers an attractive opportunity for international buyers seeking space, privacy, and long-term value in one of Tuscany's most authentic and steadily emerging markets. The property provides approximately 160 sqm of living space, complemented by a substantial detached barn of around 160 sqm arranged over two levels. This layout reflects current market trends, where flexibility is key: buyers increasingly value properties that can evolve into guest accommodation, creative studios, wellness areas, or multi-generational living spaces, subject to the necessary approvals. The main house is bright and well-proportioned. The ground floor features an entrance hall, a traditional kitchen with fireplace, a separate dining room, and a living room. Upstairs are five bedrooms, a bathroom, and a balcony, currently enclosed with glass, which could be reimagined as an open panoramic terrace. A ground-floor cantina, accessed from the courtyard, offers additional storage or potential for further enhancement. The structure is sound, while the interiors would benefit from updating, allowing new owners to introduce contemporary comforts while preserving the character of a classic Tuscan farmhouse. Outside, a generous garden and more than 5,000 sqm of meadowland surround the house, including olive trees and a small vineyard. Open countryside views and natural light create a strong connection to the landscape, responding to the growing desire for a healthier, outdoor-oriented lifestyle. Private parking, easy access, central heating, and all main services make the property suitable both as a permanent residence and as a refined holiday home. The farmhouse is located on the edge of a small village in the municipality of Casola in Lunigiana. Local shops, restaurants, and services are close by, while a nearby train station offers direct connections to Lucca. The area is rich in history, known for its ancient stone statues, hilltop architecture, and scenic paths leading down to the river, all contributing to a distinctive sense of place. Lunigiana is increasingly appreciated by international buyers for its authenticity, excellent value compared to more established Tuscan destinations, and its balanced lifestyle between mountains and sea. Beaches, hiking trails, cycling routes, and historic villages are all within easy reach. Pisa, Genoa, and Parma airports are just over an hour away, ensuring convenient international access.
