See what needs doing and what each job costs
A characterful Tuscan farmhouse with stone arches, traditional shutters, exposed beams, a private courtyard/garden, and a genuinely impressive mountain panorama. It appears to be a solid, roofed, usable home rather than a ruin, but the dated interiors, basic facilities, and significant renovation needs keep it below dream-home territory.
- Substantial renovation and modernization are needed; interiors are dark, dated, and cluttered.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a large 240 sqm property.
- The kitchen and utility areas appear very basic, with possible damp and maintenance issues to investigate.
The area around
Location score 81/100The Apuan Alps are within this area, and the northern Tuscan-Emilian Apennines rise around the Garfagnana valley. The Serchio river runs through Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. Much of the surrounding mountain area falls within the Parco Regionale delle Alpi Apuane, and the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano National Park is close on the northern side of the valley. The nearest ski area is Careggine, with local lifts in the mountains above the valley, and larger Abetone is farther away and does not affect the score. Castelnuovo di Garfagnana is the main town of the valley, with rail links, shops and services, and Barga is nearby with a well-preserved historic centre; Barga is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia. The area is known for mountain valleys, chestnut country, hiking and the limestone landscapes of the Apuan Alps.
