4 bedrooms semi-detached house, 423 m²

Fivizzano, Massa-Carrara (province)

Lunigiana

Casa La Vista forms part of a small historic hamlet in the hills of Lunigiana, where stone houses, narrow lanes and woodland paths create the atmosphere of a traditional northern Tuscan village. The property is reached on foot along a small stone lane. Passing through the gates, you enter a private terrace area where the main house, annex, portico and old cellar spaces come together almost like a small section of the borgo in its own right. The terrace is one of the defining features of the property, opening towards the Apuan Alps ridgeline and surrounding hills. The house enjoys sunshine throughout the day, making this a natural place for morning coffee, long lunches, evening aperitivi and summer dinners with a remarkable mountain backdrop. The main house is a medieval stone building full of authentic character, with exposed stone walls, chestnut beams, a traditional stone fireplace and an original built-in oven. Casa La Vista is sold fully furnished. The owners have collected furniture, decorative objects and quirky individual pieces over time from flea and antiques markets, creating interiors that feel personal, layered and completely at home within the architecture. The accommodation is arranged over several levels. On the lower residential level are a bedroom, sitting room and eat-in kitchen. The upper levels provide the second and third bedrooms, while a fourth bedroom is located in the separate annex, offering useful flexibility for guests or more independent accommodation. There are also extensive lower-level spaces with further potential. Traditional cellars, portico areas and an atmospheric barrel-vaulted cantina remain largely undeveloped, offering scope for future finishing and reinterpretation, subject to any necessary permissions. The inhabited areas are presented in good condition, while the lower spaces retain their more rustic character and provide the opportunity to continue the evolution of the property over time. Beyond the house itself, village life is an important part of what Casa La Vista offers. The hamlet has a particularly welcoming and convivial community, with festivals, communal lunches, dinners and gatherings throughout the year. A short walk from the property brings you to the local bar, where morning coffee with the locals or an evening aperitivo soon becomes part of everyday life. You are not simply buying a house in rural Italy, but a place within a living village community where shared meals, local traditions and spontaneous gatherings remain part of the rhythm of life. Marked walking trails lead directly from the village into the surrounding countryside, while ancient chestnut woods offer beautiful walking and seasonal foraging. Rivers and natural swimming places can be found throughout the wider area. The medieval market town of Fivizzano, with shops, restaurants, cafés and everyday services, is approximately a 15-minute drive away. Casa La Vista is less about conventional luxury and more about authenticity, character and atmosphere: a fully furnished four-bedroom medieval stone home with original architectural details, a separate annex, spaces still waiting to be reimagined, a strong village community and a panoramic outlook across the Apuan Alps. A home for anyone looking not only for a property in Tuscany, but for a slower, more convivial way of life rooted in landscape, community and tradition.
