House, 115 m²

Fivizzano, Massa-Carrara (province)

Lunigiana

Set within a small traditional stone borgo just 4 km from Fivizzano, Lo Stallone is a substantial stone barn of approximately 115 sq m arranged over two levels, together with around 691 sq m of land. The property sits at the heart of the hamlet, surrounded by old stone houses and the character of a traditional rural settlement. Vehicle access is possible to within approximately 20 metres of the building, with independent access directly onto the property's own land. The property Lo Stallone has already been structurally consolidated, providing a strong base from which to complete the interiors and create a highly individual home. The building retains particularly attractive original features, including excellent exposed stonework, original stone architraves, substantial corner stones in local Arenaria stone and high ceilings with exposed chestnut beams. The accommodation is currently arranged as three principal spaces over two levels. The generous open volumes leave considerable freedom to define the final layout according to individual needs and ideas. Windows and external doors still need to be installed, together with all services and systems, allowing the buyer to decide from the outset how the internal spaces should function and how the completed property should feel. The open-space character would work particularly well for a large living and entertaining area, while the generous proportions allow scope for bedrooms, guest accommodation, studio space or more defined rooms, subject to the relevant technical and planning approvals. With its consolidated structure, strong stone architecture, high chestnut-beamed ceilings and original details already in place, Lo Stallone offers a project where the creative stage can take centre stage. With a thoughtful restoration, it really could become something special. Land, access & setting The property includes approximately 691 sq m of land, providing private outdoor space and a direct relationship with the surrounding landscape. The borgo occupies an elevated position with extensive 360-degree views across the upper Apennine ridgeline, towards Fivizzano and the Castle of Verrucola. Wild woodland surrounds the hamlet and marked walking trails lead directly into the countryside. Rivers, waterfalls and natural swimming places can be reached on foot. Fivizzano, with shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday services, is around 4 km away. The wider area lies between the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the Apuan Alps, with both the Ligurian and Tuscan Rivieras within approximately an hour's reach.
