Countryhouse Cerretoli

Description

Set in the heart of the countryside with breathtaking open views, this exceptional property is located less than a five minute drive from the lively market town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. The estate includes three buildings set within approximately 3.3 hectares of land, consisting of farmland and wooded areas, offering privacy, space, and strong investment potential.

Building One Renovated Farmhouse with Swimming Pool

The main farmhouse has been renovated with great care and respect for traditional Tuscan architecture. Original features include exposed chestnut beams, handmade chestnut wood windows with classic arched designs, and exposed stonework throughout. These authentic details are combined with modern comforts, creating a refined yet welcoming home.

The farmhouse offers six bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, including two en suite bathrooms, two fully equipped kitchens, two living and dining areas, and an additional quiet room opening from one of the dining spaces. Every room enjoys beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, with some bathrooms offering striking views of the Apuan Alps and the well known Omo Morto mountain formation.

The property is currently operated as a successful summer holiday rental business with excellent income.
