Tuscan country house, which needs to be totally restored.
It is set in a very desirable location, immersed in the countryside yet less than 1 km from local shops and restaurants and the spa town of Saturnia.
The house is on three floors
Ground floor
Two huge rooms with stone walls, exposed chestnut beams, cotto floors and fireplaces, once used as kitchens. These two rooms could be converted into a spacious kitchen and a large dining/sitting area.
Former stable
Big storage room
First floor
Three large bedrooms and a kitchen, with exposed beams and cotto floors
Attic
Two large rooms with cotto floor and exposed beams.
Outside space
2 hectares of land, partly cultivated as agricultural land
Plenty of space to install a below ground swimming pool, after obtaining permission
Parking space for 4-5 cars
Advantages
The access road is in good condition and the roof has recently been re-done.
The property offers the possibility of being a B&B or agritourism business in one of the most sought after areas, in southern Tuscany
Weaknesses
The property needs to be completely renovated (electrics, central heating, bathrooms, kitchen etc)
The house is attached to another property, although the garden is private
Please note that any utility services, heating system or appliances have not been tested and no warranty can be given or implied as to their working order
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 + 3% of declared value
b) 2nd home, or non-resident: 10% 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
