Description
Not far from Pisa, in an open and sunny position, this historic villa with guesthouse is embellished by a beautiful garden with peculiar trees, brushes and a 9 × 5 m swimming pool. The villa has been fully rebuilt with eco-materials and the current project foresees three ample bedrooms. A small olive grove, a fruit orchard and 2.0 ha of agricultural land complete the property.
The nearest town (3km; 5’) offers all the necessary services and the property allows quickly visiting many of the most interesting towns of Tuscany, such as Pisa, Lucca, Forte dei Marmi, San Gimignano and Florence. The Tuscan coastline is roughly 20 minutes away by car.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The manor villa (400 sqm – 4,304 sqft, 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) dates back to the early 19th century. The building, laid over two floors, was fully rebuilt in 2019 with certified eco-materials and is currently in builder’s finish so to give the buyer ample freedom to fulfill its needs. The anti-seismic structure with steel cage has no walls inside, having the shape of ample open space. Current project foresees the following internal layout:
- Ground floor: ample entrance room with portico (30 sqm), living/dining room, kitchen, ample relax area with sauna, Turkish bath and relax tub;
- First floor: three ample bedrooms with en-suite bathroom (60 sqm each). The three rooms all have access to the beautiful loggia (30 sqm), while the central one boasts a private balcony on the rear (7 sqm).
