A large multipurpose outbuilding stands slightly apart from the main villa, along with accessory rooms for tools and storage, and two separate driveway entrances that simplify access and management.

In 2025 the average asking price for properties for sale in the municipality is around €1,700 per sqm, varying by area, condition and typology. Within this framework, the “villa” segment commands a clear premium: average villa values in Porcari are about €1,970 per sqm, reflecting market preference for independence and outdoor space. Compared to the provincial landscape, Porcari tends to be more affordable than coastal or high-tourism Versilia towns, yet higher than many inland areas, supported by proximity to Lucca and steady demand for detached homes with gardens. Historic villas with parks and original architectural features are a rare niche, driven by buyers seeking prestigious residences or high-quality hospitality properties in a refined rural setting close to major services and transport links. Touristic and Historical Information: Porcari is an ancient settlement in the Lucca plain, a territory known for the harmony between countryside, historic villas and agricultural tradition. The town preserves a scattered yet meaningful heritage of churches and rural architecture linked to its medieval history. Nearby stands the Fossa Nera Archaeological Area, with Bronze Age remains and Etruscan-Roman traces that confirm the long continuity of settlement. Its proximity to Lucca provides quick access to the Renaissance walls, the monumental historic center and year-round cultural events, while the Lucca plain offers routes through villas, historic gardens, cycling paths and a distinctive rural landscape. This strategic position makes Porcari an ideal base for enjoying Tuscany in a quiet environment without giving up culture, services or easy connections to Pisa, Florence and Versilia.
