Local Real Estate Market The hillside area of Capannori, particularly in the renowned areas of Matraia, Valgiano, Petrognano, and San Gennaro, constitutes one of the most sought-after and exclusive luxury real estate markets in the province of Lucca and the whole of northern Tuscany. Constant international demand for historic villas and monumental estates equipped with large plots and annexes keeps prices at extremely solid levels, protected from market fluctuations. Comparative statistical analysis shows that for large historical building complexes (equal to or greater than 1000 sqm overall) in excellent structural and aesthetic condition, average prices range between €3,500/sqm and €5,000/sqm, with higher peaks for properties that preserve historical elements of exceptional artistic value and protected monumental parks. The scarcity of intact historic estates close to the services of the center of Lucca ensures exceptional maintenance of asset value over time.
