We offer this large farmhouse plus surrounding buildings of 6 bedrooms 2 bathrooms which needs modernising and is located just 2.5km from the centre of Montecatini Val di Cecina with all amenities 25km from Volterra, 30 minutes from the Tirrenica coast and just under the hour from Pisa airport. The property consists of a main building of some 231m2 over two floors, a warehouse of 90m2 and a chicken house of 33m2, all of which is surrounded by some 4.5 hectares (about 11.11 acres) of land, of which 3 hectares (about 7.4 acres) is woodland and 1.5 hectares (about 3.7 acres) is arable land with olive grove containing some 360 plants. On the ground floor of the main building there is an independent apartment of some 99m2 which has a living room, kitchen/dining room, 3 bedrooms and bathroom as well as a cantina of some 29m2 and a boiler room of 8m2. On the first floor there is a separate apartment of some 95m2, accessed by external stairs and divided into living room, kitchen/dining room, 3 bedrooms (two of which have access to an external balcony of 9m2 and bathroom. Some short distance from the main building is a separate building of a number of rooms as a warehouse, oven as well as another artisan building where it would be possible to recover and construct a building of some 106m2 for habitation. The property is in reasonable condition, and is habitable, although it would benefit from modernisation especially the apartment on the first floor. The property benefits from heat and light and does have separate meters for electricity although it is heated by a single wood burning boiler. A good investment to develop into lovely properties and even enlarge, within just a short distance of amenities, with restaurants, bars and post office less than 3 minutes by car.

Casa Travella was founded in 1987 when Linda & Pietro Travella saw an opportunity to offer Italian property for sale. At this time there were very few companies that offered any property for sale in Italy. Now years later read some of their story.

The company is fronted by Linda Travella and Casa Travella started selling property on Lake Como, where Pietro was born and Linda has worked and lived. The company were able to offer advice on numerous properties and ongoing help with all aspects of the buying process. If a client wants to restore a property, then Casa Travella can source tradesmen and professionals in the area and help with every aspect of the transaction.

When the BBC were looking for someone to speak on BBC Breakfast News about European property Linda was chosen to appear live on the programme. Other TV and radio programmes followed including Radio 5 Live, and ‘I want that House’ with Mark Simpkins, where Linda appeared in 6 episodes, the last one being a live programme from Florida, where an Italian apartment was given away as a prize. Linda appeared for RTE, Irish TV and for Channel 4‘s ‘A Place in the Sun’, where she accompanied Amanda Lamb along the shores of Lake Como by boat, to show her some of the stunning villas, including the one owned by George Clooney.

The Casa Travella team are always pleased to help when clients want to buy or sell a property in Italy. The office is multilingual with English, Italian and Spanish being spoken.

Linda says: ‘I feel proud that we can offer property for sale in many areas of Italy and we are able to give clients independent and professional advice on areas and types of property to suit their budget and needs.’

The Casa Travella team look forward to helping you buy or sell your Italian home.
