Description
IA04082 -Villa Banchieri – Prestigious Historic Residence Just Minutes from Lucca Just 6 kilometers from the historic walls of Lucca, in a peaceful residential area nestled in the northern countryside of the city, lies Villa Banchieri — a rare and enchanting property dating back to the late 18th century. Surrounded by tranquil rural homes and small villas, this historic estate offers a perfect blend of timeless charm and modern comfort, thanks to a thoughtful renovation carried out around twenty years ago, which addressed both the structural and technical aspects while preserving its original character. Enclosed by an ancient stone wall and accessed through grand historic gates, the villa spans approximately 1,350 sqm over three floors. The elegant façade, rich in character, is adorned with two large lateral porticoes topped by terraces, and still proudly displays the noble family crest of the Banchieri lineage. Inside, a striking stone staircase leads to the main floor, where a stunning 70 sqm frescoed hall opens to a spacious kitchen, a formal dining room, two master bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, two additional bedrooms, further bathrooms, and utility rooms. The top floor, featuring exposed wooden beams, offers six versatile rooms that can be used as bedrooms, studios, or relaxation areas. The ground floor, with its charming beam ceilings, includes a tavern, a second kitchen, various storage rooms, technical areas, and wine cellars. The property also features a rare private chapel and a former limonaia (orangery) of about 300 sqm, complete with a bathroom and storage space — ideal for various uses. The fully enclosed parkland extends over approximately 5,000 sqm and boasts majestic centuries-old trees, providing an atmosphere of serenity and privacy rarely found. Fully habitable and in excellent condition, Villa Banchieri is perfect both as a refined private residence and as a high-end hospitality or event venue. The location is convenient and well connected, with all essential services — including a train station, bank, post office, and supermarkets — close by. Asking price: €1,190,000 Energy class: G
