The estate also includes a substantial adjoining outbuilding arranged over two levels, offering excellent potential for further development, along with approximately 1,100 sqm of land bordering the river.

Location:

The castle is set at the edge of a charming village, while a small town with a selection of shops and additional dining options is just a short walk away.

Licciana Nardi is a picturesque town in the Taverone Valley, known for its historic 13th-century pedestrian street lined with traditional shops. At its heart lies the Piazza del Municipio, home to the impressive Malaspina Castle, dating from the 16th century. The castle is uniquely connected to a Baroque church by a covered bridge, once allowing nobles direct access for worship and meetings.

The town offers a full range of amenities including restaurants, schools, a bank, and medical facilities. Nearby, the village of Monti features another hilltop castle and a good selection of services.

About Lunigiana:

Lunigiana - often called the “Land of the Moon” - is one of Tuscany’s most unspoiled and captivating regions. Surrounded by rolling hills, mountains, and just a short drive from the sea, it offers a unique blend of landscapes and lifestyles. The area is dotted with historic castles once owned by the Medici and Malaspina families, while the nearby coast includes the sandy beaches of Lerici and the iconic coves of Cinque Terre. Both are within easy reach. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the extensive network of walking trails, as well as proximity to skiing in the winter months. The international airports of Pisa, Parma, and Genoa are all approximately one hour away.

A Lifestyle Investment:

Lunigiana is often described as a hidden gem, a place where breathtaking scenery, rich history, and a strong sense of community combine to create a truly special atmosphere. Life here moves at a gentler pace, enriched by local traditions, excellent cuisine, and warm hospitality. Castello del Poderetto offers not just a home, but a unique opportunity to become part of this timeless landscape.
