House for sale in Tuscany, Tuscany, Italy

A very attractive, traditional stone building with two accomodation levels, (there is another lower level with extensive cellars underneath), typical of the Lunigiana region. Original stonework provides evidence that the first building on the site was started around the 12th Century. Adapted and changed over the years, it at one time was used as a small castle/tower by one of the local notable families. Now sadly neglected (hence the realistic price being asked for this property), strucurally it remains in remarkably good condition and offers the potential to be quickly transformed into a unique and fabulous home/tourist attraction etc at a relatively low cost.

Centered in 5,000 sq. mtrs of land (approx. one and a quarter acres), the tower is sited in (naturally) a very dominant position, on a hilltop with woodlands at the back, while at the front and sides it overlooks all that it surveys. From this position, it provides a truly breathtaking and panoramic view of the surrounding area, stretching as far as the eye can see. Located on the border the nationally famous Parco Giganti ('Park of the Giant', so called because the mountain sky-line traces the profile of a sleeping giant), it lies at an altitude of approx. 400 mtrs above sea level and is located in the area of 'cinque terre', a short distance from the beautiful Gulf of La Spezia, off the Western Mediterranean sea, where you will find many quiet and traquil coves with golden sandy beaches, traditional fishing villages and wonderful restaurants.

Sited in a very attractive and convenient location, it is only 5 kilometres (around 3 miles) from the A5 autostrada and 15 kilometres (approx. 9.3 miles) from the A12 autostrada, making it easy and suitable both for access to the property and to explore all parts of this beautiful and very historic region of Italy.
