Ancient renovated stone mill (roof completely overhauled in spring 2024), immediately habitable and fully furnished, consisting of two independent buildings with a private garden of 1650 sqm and a characteristic square-shaped swimming pool.
This is a very particular property, an ancient stone mill extremely rare of its kind, and which must be considered for its unique characteristics.
Among the main features, we can confirm that this property enjoys excellent sunlight in every season of the year!
The property is reached via an excellent and spectacular private dirt road of approximately 2.5 km shared with 10 other co-owners, each contributing to the good maintenance of the road. Along the entire route, you will only encounter centuries-old chestnut groves and ancient stone chestnut drying houses. At the end of the road, you arrive at the ample private parking area of the property.
The mill is reached only on foot for about 60 meters of flat path, crossing the very clear stream via a characteristic bridge that leads into the property's land. You walk past the characteristic swimming pool (approx. 5.00X5.00 m with a depth of 1.35 m) and then reach the building where you immediately find the ancient wood-burning oven (perfectly functional) and then step onto a terrace. Looking out, you have a view of the stream, the outbuilding on the left, and the mill on the right. This terrace is ideal for outdoor lunches and can host many people.
Entering the Main Mill (ground floor), you immediately find the small living room with the ancient fireplace (perfectly functional) and with stairs leading to the basement (ancient millstones/cellars) and the first floor. From the fireplace room, on the right, you access the spectacular kitchen rich in ancient details, and straight ahead you enter the large living/dining room where at the end there is a hallway with 3 doors respectively leading to a bedroom, a beautiful bathroom, and a laundry and heating boiler area. Going up to the first floor (original ancient wooden stairs), we find 3 large bedrooms and a beautiful complete bathroom. Going down to the basement, we find areas with the ancient stone millstones.
On the terrace, opposite the entrance to the main mill, we find the entrance to the Two-Story Dépendance, also created from the ancient mill structure. On the ground floor, the outbuilding has a cozy open-plan living room and a bathroom with shower. Going up the wooden stairs, you access a beautiful panoramic terrace overlooking the stream, and on the first floor, there is a spacious double bedroom. Perfect for guests or for tourist rentals.
The electrical system is new and certified, as is the heating system (Lpg with radiators). For water, a private spring is used, where a pump automatically keeps a cistern deposit of approximately 2000 liters full, serving the entire hydraulic system of the property. The potability of the water has never been verified, and the owners use bottled water for drinking.
The Mill is 45 km from Viareggio and 32 km from Lido di Camaiore, 49 km from Pisa International Airport (the nearest airport).
