Situated in the medieval village of Sorana, 10 mins from Pescia, 25 mins from Lucca, 40 mins from Florence and Pisa airports.

This house was a much loved and planned project for the owner but unfortunately he is now unable to see it through to completion. There is full planning permission and it is just waiting for a new owner to start work. We estimate that it will cost a minimum of €50k to finish this house off. You can have the outside done in whatever finish you choose – but we think it would be lovely in local stone, made to look rustic and traditional.
