Description

In the heart of the splendid Tuscany, halfway between Lucca and Versilia, stands Villa "Le Sorgenti," an architectural gem dating back to the seventeenth century, originally built by the Burlamacchi family and later renovated in the 1930s by the English architect Cecil Pinsent. This magnificent property, now for sale, offers not only the main villa but also a dependence, immersed in a picturesque natural setting characterized by gardens, parks, pine forests, and fountains, as well as a large pond fed by the spring located behind the villa.
The villa spans four levels, providing a spacious residence of over 410 square meters on the ground floor, which includes a large double living room, cozy sitting rooms, a dining room, a library, a bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a guest bathroom, an office, and a kitchen, all overlooking a bright room facing the spring. On the first floor, another 410 square meters accommodate six bedrooms, a second spacious dining area, a lounge, a supplementary kitchen with an office, a study, and five bathrooms. On the second floor, covering an area of 210 square meters, there is a library, a generous wardrobe room, five additional bedrooms, and two bathrooms, along with two large terraces, each measuring 75 square meters. The basement, approximately 360 square meters, offers colonial service spaces.
The dependence, originally a farm, extends over 490 square meters and currently comprises two spacious apartments, a loft/garage, and a "woodshed," with the possibility of converting them into additional housing units.
This property represents a unique opportunity for those who wish to live immersed in the beauty of the Tuscan countryside, enjoying a historic residence and ample outdoor spaces, with the advantage of fully utilizing the building potential of the dependence.
