A timeless estate in the heart of Tuscany Via Centrale 卢卡其他地方, 卢卡 55021 意大利

In the heart of Tuscany, nestled in an untouched landscape, stands one of the region's oldest Augustinian monasteries, dating back to the early 1200s. The impeccable restoration has successfully preserved the magnificence of this building, combining its original aesthetics with a contemporary design that blends harmoniously with the surrounding environment.

The structure spans expansive spaces, including a majestic deconsecrated chapel, now adapted to become an extraordinary multifunctional space: an ideal venue for public events, exhibitions, concerts, and wellness activities, with direct access to the main house. The professional kitchen is ready to host banquets and grand celebrations. The annexes include a laundry room, a technical room, a game room, a storage area, and a large artist's studio. The restoration also involved the recovery and reconstruction of the external walls, using stone reclaimed from the surrounding land, proudly telling a millennia-old story.

The extensive private lands, stretching from the top of the hill down to the river, ensure complete privacy and ample space for walks, cultivation, and outdoor activities. In this paradise corner, breathtaking views from the terraces offer ideal spots for outdoor meals or relaxing in the shade of centuries-old olive trees. The Infinity pool, fed by saltwater, provides the perfect corner for relaxation, while the river below invites swimming in its natural waters. The presence of a mountain spring, which supplies the entire site with water, is the beating heart of this sustainable residence, which also uses solar energy and wood heating thanks to the rich surrounding forest. An advanced water purification system and highly efficient waste management complete the commitment to the environment, keeping operational costs remarkably low.

In 2014, the current owners completed a two-year restoration project, transforming this place into a private residence, as well as an ideal location for luxury holidays and exclusive events. The magic of its isolation, just steps from the stream and surrounded by the forest, speaks for itself, but the proximity to services, just ten minutes by car, adds convenient accessibility.With 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, all furnished with local materials and fine finishes, each room reflects a balance of elegance and comfort. The original stone walls, oak floors, and chestnut ceilings, combined with windows and doors crafted by local artisans, tell a story of respect for tradition and simplicity. Handcrafted ironwork, both inside and out, completes the picture of a residence that perfectly blends history and modernity in harmony, a place where time seems to have stopped, but the future is still waiting to be written.
