Set in one of Tuscany’s most desirable locations, this distinguished estate combines privacy, elegance, and authenticity in a landscape of extraordinary beauty. Positioned in the heart of the Valdera countryside, the property enjoys a strategic location with convenient access to Pisa, Lucca, Florence, and the renowned beaches of Versilia, making it equally appealing as a private residence, holiday retreat, or investment opportunity.
The property underwent a comprehensive restoration completed in 2006, with subsequent improvements enhancing both comfort and energy efficiency through the installation of geothermal, photovoltaic, and solar energy systems. The villa is surrounded by beautifully landscaped formal gardens, charming secluded corners, and handcrafted terracotta pots filled with fragrant lemon trees and vibrant seasonal flowers. An elegant outdoor lounge area, sheltered beneath magnificent wisteria-covered pergolas, provides an idyllic setting for entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings with a glass of local wine.
The estate extends across approximately 30 hectares of private land, much of it fenced, and includes an olive grove of around 500 trees producing high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Absolute privacy is ensured, while the elevated position offers sweeping views over the rolling Tuscan countryside. Close to the entrance gate, a level area equipped with water and electricity connections presents the opportunity to create stables or equestrian facilities.
A striking avenue lined with mature cypress trees leads to the panoramic swimming pool, perfectly positioned to capture the beauty of the surrounding landscape. South-facing reception rooms are filled with natural light throughout the day, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. The interiors are generous in scale and beautifully interconnected, featuring numerous traditional details, including hand-carved Pietra Serena stone fireplaces and handcrafted terracotta flooring.
Despite its secluded setting, the property remains easily accessible. The nearest town, offering a range of shops, restaurants, and services, is located approximately 10 minutes away via a well-maintained gravel road suitable for all vehicles. The motorway can be reached in around 15 minutes, providing direct access to Pisa in approximately 30 minutes and Florence in under an hour. Many of Tuscany’s most celebrated destinations, including San Gimignano, Volterra, and Lucca, are comfortably reached within an hour's drive.
Modern amenities include Wi-Fi internet, CCTV surveillance, burglar and fire alarm systems, air conditioning, and central heating throughout both the main villa and the independent apartment. All windows are fitted with insect screens for additional comfort.
The main entrance opens onto an elegant staircase leading into the principal living areas. To one side is a spacious reception room, while the opposite wing accommodates the kitchen, dining area, and an additional sitting room with fireplace. These rooms open directly onto terraces overlooking the gardens and the covered outdoor entertaining spaces. The lower-ground floor houses a wine cellar, storage room, guest bathroom, and cloakroom.
The first floor is centred around a bright landing with large panoramic windows. Four en-suite bedrooms occupy the left wing of the villa. The right wing comprises a study, an additional en-suite bedroom, a family bathroom with bathtub, and the principal suite. The master suite features a private bathroom with both bathtub and separate shower and connects to an elegant sitting room with fireplace.
Attached to the eastern side of the villa is a self-contained one-bedroom apartment on the ground floor, ideal for guests, staff, or independent accommodation.
The estate currently offers a total of eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms, including the apartment and a studio that could easily be converted into an additional bedroom. The villa extends to approximately 500 square metres and occupies a commanding terrace above a traditional limonaia overlooking the lemon garden.
Additional features include three garages with space for up to five vehicles, mains water and electricity, an artesian well used for irrigation, and a 1,500-litre water reserve tank. Solar panels contribute to hot water production and heating, while a backup LPG tank provides supplementary energy when required. Air conditioning is powered by a geothermal system, and a 19 kW photovoltaic installation supplies renewable electricity. Wastewater is managed through a private drainage system approved by the local municipality.
The swimming pool measures 15 metres by 6 metres, with a depth ranging from 1.2 to 2.5 metres, and is complemented by a dedicated technical room. Included in the sale are the fitted kitchen, built-in bathroom furnishings, the property's distinctive handcrafted terracotta planters, and additional furnishings as specified in the inventory.
