When it comes to homes in Tuscany, the mind immediately turns to stone farmhouses, historic villas and country estates surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. This property reflects the same idea of Tuscany, but in a more understated and intimate version, where the rolling hills between Lucca and Versilia take centre stage.
The landscape is what strikes you first. Between Montemagno and Pontemazzori, the Camaiore valley opens up naturally, wide and quiet, changing character throughout the day and reaching its most striking moment at sunset. This is one of those areas where the hills are not just a backdrop, but a constant, almost familiar presence that shapes every view.
As you approach the property, the setting gradually becomes more intimate. The façade, combining exposed stone and plaster, sits naturally within the landscape. Around it, the garden creates a soft threshold: not a staged setting, but a natural transition into the home, formed by trees, carefully maintained greenery and small outdoor spaces that slow the eye before you even step inside.
Inside, the house reveals itself through simple materials and a clear layout. The three split levels are connected seamlessly, without abrupt separations. The entrance opens directly into the living room, defined by chestnut beams, terracotta floors and a large fireplace that immediately evokes the most authentic image of Tuscan homes. The kitchen, well arranged beneath a large window overlooking the garden, is separate yet close, still in dialogue with the living area in a space designed for both everyday life and convivial moments.
On the upper level, the house becomes more private. Here lies the main double bedroom, spacious and bright, thoughtfully organised: a separate walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom with both bathtub and shower complete the space without overwhelming it.
The lower level, with its independent entrance, introduces a more self-contained way of living. It is a separate space with a bathroom, ideal as a guest suite, studio or small independent living area. A part of the house that expands its possibilities without disturbing its overall balance.
Why it stands out
For the care with which it has been maintained, making it ready to live in without any intervention. For a garden that does not aim for effect, but instead gently accompanies outdoor living during the warmer months of the year.
A property that brings together the character of a Tuscan farmhouse, the tranquillity of the hills and a particularly well-balanced location. Along the road connecting Camaiore to Lucca, the house sits in a rare point of equilibrium: on one side the historic city, on the other the Versilia coast, just a few minutes away.
