6 bedrooms detached house, 198 m²

Apricale, Imperia (province)

The exclusive estate “Olisaggio” is beautifully situated on a gentle hillside in the Ligurian hinterland, just a 10-minute drive from the medieval village of Apricale and accessible via a well-maintained mountain road. With its prime south-facing orientation, the property offers breathtaking panoramic views over the surrounding, unspoilt countryside. Thanks to its elevated position, it enjoys year-round sunshine, absolute tranquillity, and the highest level of privacy.
The estate extends over approximately 8,400 m² of terraced, fenced land with an olive grove and comprises two independent houses with a total of 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Both houses have been recently refurbished in a modern country style, featuring a palette of whites and subtle greys. The bathrooms are designed with a contemporary, understated aesthetic that blends harmoniously with the overall modern design. The property not only offers beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces but also presents numerous development opportunities, such as the potential construction of a swimming pool.
The main house, approximately 118 m², is located in a particularly quiet and secluded part of the estate and exudes a warm, inviting atmosphere. Upon entering, one is greeted by a large, sun-drenched terrace, covered by a pergola adorned with wisteria that blooms spectacularly in spring. This terrace is perfect for relaxed outdoor living and seamlessly connects to the open-plan living area. Flooded with natural light, this space combines a lounge, dining area, and open kitchen into a harmonious whole and is distinguished by an exceptionally high ceiling extending to the roof, giving the interior a spacious and airy feel. The modern, large kitchen island encourages cooking and socialising, while the open fireplace provides a cosy warmth and welcoming atmosphere – the ideal setting for convivial evenings with family and friends. An elegant, open staircase links the living area with the slightly elevated sleeping quarters, creating a harmonious connection between both levels. The upper level comprises two charming and comfortable bedrooms, filled with light and offering a serene, cosy ambience, alongside a modern, stylish shower room that reflects the high design standards of the house. On the ground floor, a spacious utility room provides additional convenience and storage space, ideal for household organisation or garden furniture.
A short walk leads to the guest house, which offers approximately 80 m² of living space over two floors. It features four modern, spacious bedrooms, each with a private en-suite bathroom. One of the rooms is equipped with an open fireplace and has access to a private sun terrace with a summer kitchen. One of the ground-floor bedrooms already has connections for a kitchen, allowing the guest house to be used independently if desired. Both houses also benefit from separate driveways, enabling them to be used individually or together.
This estate is ideal for nature lovers and those seeking tranquillity, whether for a large family, close friends, or for commercial purposes such as workshops, artistic projects, or holiday rentals.Water is supplied via a consortium and stored in two on-site cisterns, with an additional private deep well on the property. All rooms in both houses are fitted with reversible air-conditioning systems.
