Why is it primed for growth?
Because it offers some of the most enchanting landscapes of Tuscany and most of the area is undiscovered by international buyers. There is easy access to the international airport of Pisa (40 minutes) and the marinas at San Vincenzo, Marina di Cacina and Castiglioncello, while Florence is just 90 minutes and Lucca just 60 minutes by motorway.
My favourite bits:
The hills behind the coast offer breathtaking views over the vineyards and down to the sea, with the islands of Capraia, Elba, Gorgona and Corsica beyond. Even better, enjoy the view with a glass of something delicious in your hand – these hills are home to some of the world’s most renowned wine estates.
What will my money buy me?
By way of example, a 670 sq m villa in one new luxury development is for sale at €8 million.
One thing the locals like to keep secret:
The whole area is one of the untold secrets of Tuscany. The coastline is characterised by natural and unspoiled beaches protected by dunes and pine forests, all of which form part of a nature reserve.
