What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingEverything on this list
€58,375 – €65,300
Mountain-view second-home buyer
A hands-on second-home buyer suits this house best. The bathroom and kitchen look usable, so it can serve as a base while smaller repairs are done. The terrace, garden and wide valley view give it a clear personal-use appeal. It could also suit cautious short-term letting, but heating, internet and local demand need checking.

Is it a good buy: About what similar houses cost
It is a fair buy at the asking price if the services test clean: the finished cost is around the level of similar Fivizzano asking prices, while local holiday lets provide a rate to model but no guaranteed income.

- How easily it sells againAbout 96 Fivizzano listings: resale possible but likely slow; asking prices, not sale prices
Lived in and usable today, with a working-looking bathroom, basic kitchen and complete floors. The visible work is mainly a damp cellar, tired facade, old windows and rusty terrace railings, not a stripped renovation. Its mountain view, private garden and terrace are the real value, but the heating and services need testing before purchase.

Where these prices come from
The area around
Location score 72/100The cluster is in Lunigiana on the northern Tuscan Apennine side, with the Apuan Alps close by to the west and the Apennine ridges toward the east. The Rosaro and wider Magra valley system shapes this area, and the slopes around Fivizzano are a mix of wooded hills, stone villages and small agricultural terraces. The Parco Nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano lies nearby on the eastern side of the municipal area, and the Apuan Alps Regional Park is also close within the wider 15 km setting. Cerreto Laghi is the nearest established ski area, roughly an hour or a little more by road depending on the exact hamlet. Fivizzano itself is a small historic centre with everyday services, and Aulla is the nearest larger road and rail hub in Lunigiana. The area is known for Lunigiana’s hill villages, chestnut country and the chain of castles spread across the wider valleys, with the Medicean centre of Fivizzano and nearby Equi Terme among the local reference points.
