Agricultural Compound and Rustic Property for Sale in Castiglione di Garfagnana

Rustic farmhouse for sale in Garfagnana (LU) for renovation, 800 sqm, 20 rooms, and 18.9 hectares of agricultural land. Excellent potential for hospitality or agricultural business, near Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. Descrizione Generale: In the charming locality of Solceta, within the municipality of Castiglione di Garfagnana, a vast and fascinating agricultural compound is offered for sale. The property enjoys a unique position, offering a splendid view of the "Dead Man's" mountain group (Uomo Morto) of the Apuan Alps. The complex covers a total area of approximately 189,290 sqm (about 18.9 hectares) and includes three large rural buildings for a total of approximately 800 sqm of usable floor area and 20 rooms, all requiring complete renovation. The proximity to Castelnuovo di Garfagnana (2 km) and Pieve Fosciana (1 km) ensures easy accessibility. Descrizione Interni: The three buildings, of ancient construction, feature a sturdy, well-made stone load-bearing structure that guarantees their structural integrity. Despite the lack of internal finishes and the need for complete restoration, the buildings retain considerable architectural potential, ideal for a restoration faithful to the traditions of Garfagnana. Although the floors (wooden and terracotta) and roofs need to be redone, the main structure still retains the original trusses and beams, elements that can be enhanced in the renovation project. Descrizione Esterni: The property boasts an exceptional land area. A significant part of the land (about 7.8 hectares) is flat and already used for irrigated arable farming, with a concession valid until 2027 for drawing water from a nearby ditch. Irrigation is facilitated by an accumulation tank and a network of canals. The remaining area (about 11.1 hectares) is divided into hilly plots, wooded areas, and service areas, part of which is easily cultivable and accessible. Access to the property is via a private road, ensuring maximum exclusivity and isolation, with the panoramic view of the Apuan Alps as a constant backdrop. Caratteristiche principali: Covered Area: 800 sqm Rooms: 20 Condition: Needs Renovation (complete) Total Land: 18.9 hectares (7.8 ha irrigated arable land) Buildings: Three Rural Buildings Structure: Stone Load-Bearing View: Apuan Alps ("Uomo Morto") Energy Class: Exempt Property Dettagli sulle Utenze: The property, being in a rough state and requiring renovation, is not equipped with a heating system. However, it is already prepared for reconnection to the electricity, telephone, and water network, subject to the reactivation of the respective services. The main water advantage is the water abstraction concession for irrigation, which is crucial for agricultural activity. Complete renovation will allow for the installation of modern and efficient systems, moving beyond the "exempt property" status to achieve a high energy class. Usi e Potenzialità: This estate represents a rare investment opportunity for a large-scale redevelopment project. It is ideal for creating an Agriturismo or Relais immersed in nature, exploiting the vast agricultural land for cultivation or farming, or as an exclusive, prestigious multi-family private residence. Its versatility also allows for subdivision into two or three distinct portions, maintaining large living and land areas for each unit. Mercato Immobiliare Locale: Castiglione di Garfagnana is located in a mountainous area of the Lucca province, with a real estate market primarily oriented towards nature tourism and those seeking tranquility. The average price for residential properties in the municipality is much lower than the coast, standing at about € 745 per square meter (November 2025). It is important to note that the property in question requires renovation and is of large size, a factor that initially reduces the value per square meter. Comparative Statistical Analysis: Although the property requires significant investment for restoration, it compares with the Garfagnana average which is significantly lower than Lucca and Viareggio. Its value lies in the large irrigable land (18.9 ha) and the uniqueness of the location, elements that push it far beyond the local average, positioning it in the segment of strategic rural investments. The market has shown fluctuations with a recent maximum of € 1,227 per square meter, indicating potential revaluation after restoration.
