RENOVATORS DREAM TUSCAN HOME - A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE A STONE MOUNTAIN HOUSE WITH OUTBUILDINGS SET IN 12,5 ACRES OF WOODLAND WITH RIVER FRONTAGE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL AREA OF NORTHERN TUSCANY. There is no other property like it on the market today as most of these homes have long been sold. Just 15 minutes by car outside one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Tuscany, Barga, lies the area known as Monte Bono, nestled on a mountain side with spectacular views and river frontage. this country house with several outbuildings is in need of total loving renovation to restore it to the beautiful country home it once was with great potential to develop the property to provide several holiday units that could be rented to the ever-increasing tourist market in Barga. In a small community of only four houses it is an oasis of peace and tranquillity. Barga itself is known as the ‘Citta d’arte’, a town renowned for its artists and musicians. During the summer months there are art exhibitions and music festivals in all the piazzas, jazz and open air classical music concerts and opera enhance what is already a famous historical site dating back to the 10th century, Barga has remained unchanged and its narrow stone paved streets and beautiful palazzos within the high walls of the medieval town are magic! It has many excellent bars and restaurants, weekly markets and a wide range of shops. As you head out of the town and up into the mountains you are greeted by breathtaking scenery along the country road, a herd of goats grazing in the meadow, a country inn and then a beautiful little church that serves the tiny community of Monte Bono. It is as though time has stood still. The next house after the church is Piaggia Nr. 1, the property for sale. The road serves only three houses spread across the mountain side and no further building will ever be allowed so you are secure of your piece of paradise in Tuscany remaining just that. The property has its own water supply that comes direct from a mountain spring! The woods consist of chestnut trees used to make local furniture, floors and ceiling beams and are full of mushrooms (or so they say!) The main house is built of stone and typical of mountain homes in this area of Tuscany. It has five bedrooms, bathroom, a large live-in kitchen with enormous fireplace and a second reception room which could be used as a dining-room or study. There is a storage room on the second floor which could be converted to a second bathroom. At ground level there are the ‘cantinas’ which could be converted to extra rooms or used for storing wood, wine, oil etc. as in former times. Next door to the house is a second stone building, where once the animals were housed, long and narrow it would easily convert to provide two apartments or even house an indoor swimming pool. The property has 12,5 acres of mountain woodland that slopes down to the river. This river frontage is one of the great attractions of the property as it provides a peaceful area for barbecues and picnics in the summer months. A private pathway leads from the house down to the river, where half way down there is a third building, a small two storey’ capanna’, the land around which could be cleared to provide another summer outdoor eating area completely hidden and private in the midst of the woods. Below the house there are the usual terrazze, terraced land that was used by the family for growing vegetables. There are some fruit trees growing just behind the house and close by what was once a large orchard.
