Description

In the heart of the famous Garfagnana, a beautiful valley between the mountain ranges of the Apennines and the Apuan Alps, only about 45 min by car from Lucca, we offer for sale one of the last characteristic stone cottages, set within one of the most beautiful frames scenery of the area. The particularly quiet area is ideal for those who love to live in the countryside, where you can still enjoy the typical unspoiled nature and be enchanted by a breathtaking panorama. The cottage is south facing and stands on top of the hills overlooking the small village of Sillicagnana, at 491 m above sea level, 1,5 km from San Romano in Garfagnana (Lu).

Both are easy to reach by car and on foot (5 min) from the town center and Castelnuovo di Garfagnana (Lu) can be reached in about 10 min by car. The building, to be renovated, has a building area of about 155 m2 and consists of two levels: a ground floor (84 m2) and first floor (68 m2). The various sides (front, back and side) of the farmhouse are shown in the photos. The ground floor is divided into 4 rooms and overlooks a stone courtyard of about 20 m2.

The first floor consists of two rooms that overlook a typical "altana" garfagnina, a terrace roof with exposed rafters and paved in terracotta. A unique feature of the cottage is the magnificent and impressive view over the valley and the chain of the Apuan Alps. The cottage is surrounded by 4000 m2 of land, directly accessible and partly used for the cultivation of fruit (apples, figs, vines, walnuts, olive trees), included in the sale price (land parcel 104, see cadastral map). The building needs total renovation and allows you to create a beautiful and spacious home, or it could be divided into two apartments for a possible tourist use.

Lucca, Tuscany, Italy

Interested in this property? Don't lose out to currency fluctuations changing the price you pay...

Many overseas buyers in Italy do not realise they can lose thousands of pounds through adverse currency exchange rate movements.

The property buying process in Italy takes time; it could be up to six months between seeing the property of your dreams and actually taking ownership. So how much would this €230,000 property cost you?

Property Price € Minimum cost in the last six months Maximum cost in the last six months Fluctuating exchange rates over the last six months could have increased the cost of this property by
€230,000 £195,659 £201,604 £5,946

Minimum cost in the last six months £195,659

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in Italy will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.

The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.

This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £5,946 more.
