Water mill in scenic surroundings
The property has a great location on the outskirts of the medieval market town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, just a 2-3 minute drive from the town center.
It is surrounded by forest and the trout-rich stream runs under the stone bridge.
This is a traditional water mill with the original miller’s house on top. Around the mill is a lush planting of old trees, two stone houses/ barns on the other side of the bridge and a large plot of land.
The property is in good structural condition and can be taken over and occupied immediately.
