Historic stone house with panoramic views
This unique, traditional semi-detached house built of natural stone is located in the village of Poggio and dates back to around 1789. The property has been carefully restored with great respect for the house’s original character, using high-quality materials and construction methods.
From every side of the house, breathtaking views of the Apennines and the Apuan Alps unfold. From the upper terrace, you can also enjoy an impressive panorama of the magnificent Ponte di Villetta railway viaduct, Lake Pontecosi, and the Orecchiella Nature Reserve.
The home features many original details and offers a highly flexible floor plan. In our opinion, the property is therefore not only a wonderful home but also an ideal opportunity to establish an attractive bed-and-breakfast or a sought-after vacation rental.
