Tuscan estate south of Lucca: 336 sqm main villa with 5 bedrooms, versatile outbuildings, and over 3 hectares with olive grove and vineyard. Privacy near city services. General Description Set amidst the lush countryside south of Lucca in a private and peaceful setting, this prestigious Tuscan country estate offers genuine rural privacy within immediate reach of Lucca's historic Renaissance walls and urban amenities. The property must be appreciated as a harmonious whole, where the main residential residence, stone courtyard, secondary farm outbuildings, and extensive grounds combine to create an authentic countryside retreat. The manor house spans approximately 336 sqm of cadastral surface across three well-proportioned levels, preserving the timeless character of historic Lucchese residences with exposed timber beams, hand-carved stone accents, and picturesque countryside views. Complementary independent outbuildings and nearly 3.2 hectares of fertile agricultural land deliver exceptional flexibility for buyers seeking an expansive family home, a boutique agricultural initiative, or an exclusive hospitality business in Tuscany. Interior Description The interior layout of the main house is arranged across three functional levels that reflect classical Tuscan architectural traditions. The ground floor is dedicated to relaxation and shared living: open-concept living spaces flow seamlessly into one another, featuring exposed wooden ceiling beams, natural stone walls, a large traditional open fireplace, and multiple doorways leading onto the outdoor courtyard. An eat-in kitchen with adjoining dining area and a convenient guest bathroom complete the ground level. A stone staircase ascends to the first floor, hosting the primary sleeping quarters: three generous bedrooms, a study room suitable for remote working, and a monumental family bathroom opening onto a private terrace and distinguished by a nineteenth-century period bathtub. The top mansard level provides two additional double bedrooms and a third full bathroom, bringing the home's total accommodation to five bedrooms. Exterior Description The outdoor grounds constitute a self-contained private estate framed by mature greenery and open rural panoramas. Enclosing the main villa is a paved stone courtyard and an expansive terrace, creating an outdoor living environment ideal for alfresco dining, family gatherings, and entertaining against the backdrop of the Lucchese hills. The exclusive land parcel spans 31,915 sqm (over 3.1 hectares) in a single unified tract. The agricultural grounds include approximately 6,155 sqm of productive olive grove, productive vineyard rows, flat arable fields suitable for ornamental gardens or an inground swimming pool, and dense woodland borders that provide privacy. In addition to the main residence, the estate features various registered outbuildings serving as cellars, enclosed garages, and farm equipment storehouses, presenting conversion potential for guest cottages, tasting rooms, or professional studios.

Local Real Estate Market The countryside and foothill belt south of Lucca, spanning districts such as Vorno, Massa Pisana, and the Compitese plain, represents one of the most stable rural real estate sectors in Tuscany. While average residential property prices across the Lucca municipality hover between 2,450 and 2,550 euros per square metre, restored historic estates, rustic farmhouses, and villas with substantial acreage and olive groves command valuations between 2,800 and 3,800 euros per square metre. At an asking price of 950,000 euros for 336 sqm of living space, multiple farm outbuildings, and over 3.1 hectares of land, this estate represents strong capital value with long-term upside following outbuilding enhancement or pool construction. In the seasonal vacation rental sector, 5-bedroom Lucchese estates featuring land and swimming facilities achieve weekly high-season rentals from 4,500 to 8,000 euros, translating into gross annual yields between 6% and 8%. Tourist and Historical Information The rural landscape south of Lucca is celebrated for its cultural heritage and natural beauty at the base of the Monti Pisani range. Nearby stand the arches of the Nottolini Aqueduct, a neoclassical engineering monument built in the nineteenth century under Duchess Maria Luisa of Bourbon to channel pure water from the Guamo springs to the city fountains. The area is dotted with historic country villas built by Lucchese noble families, such as the Guinigi, Mansi, and Buonvisi dynasties, who established agricultural estates producing Lucca PDO Extra Virgin Olive Oil, renowned since Roman times for its balanced flavor. Eastward lies Pieve di Compito, celebrated internationally as the "Village of the Camellias" for its historic eighteenth-century Camellia japonica trees. A short drive connects residents to the Renaissance walls of Lucca, the Guinigi Tower, the Roman Amphitheater square, the beaches of the Versilia coast, and the international transport hub of Pisa.
