Country house for sale in Regione Morghe, Dolceacqua, Imperia, Liguria, Italy

This property benefits from a peaceful location on a sunny south-facing hillside with stunning views across the valley, the Maritime Alps’ rolling hills and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea. Despite its rural setting, the house is only a 5 minutes walk away from a charming rustic restaurant; the mountain village Perinaldo is 10 minutes away and Dolceacqua lies some 15 minutes down the road.
The house offers some 120 qm living space split over two floor levels, connected by an elevator. The décor throughout the house is comfortably stylish with solid parquet flooring on the gallery, contemporary bathrooms featuring high quality natural stone and colour coordinated floor tiling. A beautiful old entrance gate opens into the light flooded living room with a ceiling height of up to 6 m and surrounding gallery. The revealed natural brickwork and a contemporary open fireplace create a thoroughly comforting ambience. Adjacent are the shower room, utility room and the modern stainless steel kitchen. Right outside the kitchen is a spacious outdoor sitting area with pizza oven. On the upper floor are the bedroom with terrace, another shower room and a gallery with library made of solid wood. It would be feasible to convert this gallery into an additional bedroom. Thanks to the gently sloping hillside, this floor level too has direct access to the outside.
The surrounding 4,612 qm grounds are laid out in terraces and planted with 120 mature, cultivated olive trees as well as fig trees, cacti and abundantly flowering roses.
A 30 qm out building with 2 rooms and a shower is perfectly suited as a studio or guest house.
The house was newly built in 2009 replacing an old dwelling. To name only a few amenities, it is fitted with under floor heating alternately fed by solar panels or gas central heating and a photovoltaic system connected to the communal electricity mains.
The property is located some 40 minutes away from Sanremo and 20 minutes from Bordighera.
The Côte d’Azur with Monaco and the international airport Nice can be reached in just under one hour. The Sanremo Golf course and the nearest skiing resort Limone/Piemont are conveniently close and the nearest yachting harbours are Bordighera, Ventimiglia (under construction), Sanremo or in the French town of Menton. Dolceacqua has an intact infra-structure with a number of excellent restaurants, shopping, banks, medical services as well as a primary and secondary school.
