Stunning prestige villa for sale in the hills of Tuscany, with an authentic Tuscan flavour, located in one of the most exclusive and panoramic locations in the entire hillside area of Versilia, from which one can enjoy a spectacular view that sweeps from the Gulf of La Spezia to the islands of Capraia, Gorgona, Elba and Corsica.
Walking about 130 metres from the car park located in the village square, through the narrow streets lined with stone houses, you reach this exclusive sea view property for sale in Tuscany. It is also possible to reach the villa, for loading and unloading needs, by means of a small car.
The original nucleus of the villa, of rural origin, most probably dates back to the mid-seventeenth century. It is a completely independent property, free on three sides, adjacent on the back to another property, which, however, in no way compromises the total privacy of the residence.
Around this original nucleus, extensions and renovations have followed one after the other, aimed at adapting the villa to the needs of those who have inhabited it over the years. The last renovation and extension was completed in 1993. This renovation involved the installation of bathrooms, a new kitchen, the restoration of the old terracotta floors, and new heating.
The total living area of approximately 260 square metres is spread over three levels on the ground, first and second attic floors, which are completely paved in antique terracotta tiles, carefully and skilfully restored.
From the splendid terrace with garden and enchanting sea view, one enters the ground floor of the building, where one finds the living area, dominated by the large fireplace in Cardoso stone, with an authentic cast-iron hotplate from the Norman era, the dining area and the characteristic brick kitchen.
By means of the cipollino staircase, with its sinuous lines, one ascends to the levels above, on the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom with shower, on the second floor in the large attic with exposed wooden beams there is the large master suite, consisting of a living room with fireplace, bedroom, dressing room and bathroom with shower.
In front of the house there is a large terrace/garden with pergola of about 240 square metres, plus a further porticoed patio with oven and barbecue, an ideal space for al fresco dining, from which it is possible to enjoy breathtaking sunsets, as well as a convenient laundry room with bathroom.
As an extension and adjacent on the downstream side of the large terrace, there is the possibility of building a magnificent infinity pool with panoramic views.
The large cellar with independent access only from the outside, located on the basement floor, is divided into different rooms for a total of about 125 square metres. The cellar was used until a few years ago as an olive press and for storing oil and agricultural machinery.
To complete this prestigious property, for sale in Versilia, we find several plots of land, developed on the slopes of the hill downstream of the villa, cultivated with olive groves and vineyards for an agricultural surface of about 14,000 square metres, with 700 vines in addition to an olive grove of about 1500 trees and several fruit trees, such as figs, apricots, persimmons, cherries and plums.
