Roncaccio

A superbly restored farmhouse with a large garden and pool, in a stunning private location and with spectacular views over the surrounding hills and over to the Lucca plain.

The house is surrounded by olive trees, lawns, open and covered sitting areas, a good sized pool, and surrounding woodlands. There is also a pizza oven, useful storage and good parking. Access to this very private house is via a 1km public ‘white road’ and water is pumped up from below, the machinery being housed in a small building in the garden.

Inside most of the rooms have exposed chestnut beams and old cotto floors. There is a modern rustic-style kitchen, off which is a door to a terrace with pergola, setup as an outside dining room. From here is reached a small bathroom, a storage area, and the boiler for the oil-fired central heating. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining room, complete with a second, wood-fired stove.

Cotto-covered stone steps lead upstairs, to three double bedrooms, two with en suite facilities and the third with its bathroom (with bath) adjacent. One has French windows to a balcony and one has double French windows leading out onto the most stunning terrace with views over the surrounding olive trees, wooded hills, and in the distance the Lucca plain.

There is a very cosy living room, with a wood fired stove and French windows. A second living room, which is cool in the summer, has French windows to a covered outside space, which can be used for parking, BBQ’s or general storage.

The bedrooms have exposed chestnut beams. There is considerable storage space due to many built-in cupboards and wardrobes.

The entire house has been restored to an extremely high standard, with retention of original features, resulting in a luxurious house and garden, totally ready to use.
