ITALY, TUSCANY, PISTOIA, MONTECATINI TERME
This restored family house and outbuildings, dating from the 13th century, are situated next to an old Medici residence and hamlet. It is 7km south-east of Montecatini Terme and 40km west of Florence with good access to Pisa and the coast. The house and grounds are remarkably quiet and private, with no local industry or busy roads nearby.
There are panoramic views from the south-facing house and gardens (it is 180m above sea level) and is near the 18-hole Pievaccia Golf Course. It would be possible to install a swimming pool within the grounds. There is already an artesian well. The land consists of olive groves over 100 years old, a wide variety of fruit trees (fig, plum, grape, chestnut, cherry and apple) as well as woods with 200 year old oak trees.
The house was restored in 2002 and has gas central heating. The thick walls ensure it is cool in summer and warm in winter. Each floor is 130m2:
Ground floor: entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, cellar and garage;
First floor: 3 bedrooms, storeroom, bathroom and utility room
Garage
The villa currently measures 260m2 over 2 floors and it can be extended by 80m2 (50m2 on the ground floor and 30m2 on the first floor)
The property also includes;
- building of 48m2 (approx 80m from the villa) already a habitable house ideal for a caretaker.
- building of 30m2 (about 40m from the villa)
These 2 buildings could be demolished
and the area used either
a) a maximum of 88m2 to extend the villa, so in total you could extend the villa by 168m2.
or
b) you can restore/convert the 30m2 building and extend the villa by 80m2
and keep the 48m2 building.
It is also possible to turn the property into an agriturismo, and in this case it would be possible to obtain a further 3 bedrooms and a dining room/cellar of 50m2.
