Description:

Spacious, delightfully authentic Tuscan farmhouse located in a sunny position with fantastic views of the Apuane mountains.
The property has planning permissions in place thus works could start immediately.

While the owner would consider offers for the property as it stands (see HLD 0812) this option offers a longer term deal involving the full renovation of the property, for delivery in 12 to 18 month, at a price negotiable around €1 million, depending upon detailed specification according to the purchaser's wishes.
There is a 800m private access road leading to a sizeable parking area adjacent to the farmhouse.
Currently the planning permissions are:
Main house - 3 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms
Barn - a separate self-contained apartment in the barn attached to the house. These plans can be modified by a new owner, if desired
Plans for a swimming pool in a panoramic position are all ready to be submitted to the local council.
There are numerous olive trees and a vineyard on the extensive land, which has potential for small scale farming operations.
Advantages
Great opportunity to create a classic Tuscan home
Weaknesses
An estimated 12 to 18 months is the likely project span. The project funding could be spread over a period of time.

Additional costs

1) Agency charges amount to a minimum of € 1,500, otherwise up to 3% of purchase price (see our SERVICES page for a full description of the assistance we provide)

2) Investigation of existing ownership and boundaries of a property, normally carried out by a geometra, generally costs from € 750 plus, as a rule, 1% of the purchase price

3) Notary fees are based on the declared value for tax purposes. There is no published tariff but experience points to about 3% on lower value properties, perhaps 2% on higher value

Please note that all professional fees are subject to IVA (Italian purchase tax) at 20%

4) Land registry + Government taxes:
a) 1st home, Italian resident: € 336 + 2% of declared value
b) 2nd home, or non-resident: 9% of declared value
c) agricultural land: 18% of declared value

Declared values are determined by the notary at the time of the ‘rogito’ (final contract). Villatua recommends all prospective purchasers to seek advice on likely tax obligations, as individual circumstances may alter the amount significantly
