Two beautifully restored Tuscan farm buildings with a private pool, wrapped in breathtaking countryside and woodland and both included in the price for privacy.
The property enjoys a sweeping panorama of the dramatic Apuan Alps — the very mountains where Michelangelo once sourced his marble.
Despite the rural location, the village of Pieve Fosciana is just 1 mile (1.6 km) away, offering excellent restaurants, bars, a bakery, butcher, grocers, gelateria, pharmacy and bank. Everything you need is close by, yet the setting remains wonderfully peaceful.
The accommodation consists of a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom farmhouse and a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom barn, which are completely separate but included together in one price. This layout is ideal for two families or a group wanting privacy while enjoying shared outdoor spaces.
Set on a sloping hillside, the property offers a private garden, private swimming pool and parking, with enchanting rural views in every direction. Both buildings have been lovingly restored, preserving original features and rustic charm while adding comfort and modern conveniences. Facilities include washing machine, dishwasher, microwave and toaster oven.
Outside, you’ll find a generous garden, two outdoor dining areas, two barbecues and a relaxing terrace for enjoying the scenery — perfect for long, lazy Tuscan days.
