A unique opportunity: a Tuscan olive mill in need of total restoration, set in a delightful location near Camaiore.
The property consists of two buildings:
MAIN BUILDING
The main building is approx. 500 sqm. The construction is in stone and the walls are up to 60 cm thick.
Ground floor
Main olive-press room, still has some of the original millstones, wooden mechanism and press.
Two oil stores
Kitchen
Bedroom
Equipment room
First floor
Olive drying room
Hay loft
Office
SECOND BUILDING
Probably the older portion of the olive mill, was partially rebuilt about 50 years ago.
The roof forms a panoramic terrace with views of the stream, bridge and mountains. This part has recently been used as an open air discotheque.
Ground floor
Original oil vats are on the ground floor. An underground passage leading to the main building. The old stone walls and vaulted brick ceilings lend much charm to this 'secret passage'.
From the long passage there is an entrance to another room , again with a vaulted ceiling and which would make a wonderful wine cellar.
First floor
The first floor is approx. 60 sqm and could be converted to offer a dramatic one-bedroom apartment
Outside space
The property has approx. 2,000 sqm of land
Advantages
Loads of potential: the property could be developed into one large luxury villa, bed & breakfast or divided into apartments
Excellent location: close to Camaiore, the sea and Lucca
Weaknesses
The main building is attached to another property at the rear
Planning permissions will need to be obtained for all renovation works
