5 bedrooms detached house, 295 m²

Camporosso, Imperia (province)

In the charming hinterland of Camporosso, less than twenty minutes drive from the beaches and historic villages of the Ligurian Riviera, lies this fascinating stone house in need of renovation. Nestled in the quiet of the forest and surrounded by breathtaking views of the sea and mountains, it is an authentic retreat where nature reigns and silence is broken only by the sounds of the woods.

The property, rich in original features and old-world charm, is spread over three levels and retains all the character of traditional Ligurian rural architecture: large stone cellars with vaulted ceilings, exposed wooden beams, porches, and terraces overlooking the greenery. A true sanctuary, offering endless possibilities for transformation and customization.

The ground floor is accessed via a covered portico that leads to a spacious cellar with vaulted stone ceilings, followed by a second storage room and a small utility space. On the first floor, you'll find a covered terrace, a kitchen, hallway, bathroom, living room, and three bedrooms, as well as an external storage/laundry room. The second floor hosts an additional living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom (accessible from outside), along with two terraces offering delightful views of the surrounding landscape.

The house is surrounded by approximately 1,000 square meters of land, with the option to expand up to about 6,000 square meters by acquiring adjacent plots. Several outdoor terraces and a barbecue area with grill and wood-fired oven make it perfect for enjoying meals and gatherings immersed in nature.

The property has three independent entrances and is accessible via a private consort road shared by around 90 local families. The main road is about 10 minutes away by car, while the beaches, shopping centers of Camporosso, and the medieval village of Dolceacqua can all be reached within 15 to 20 minutes. Nice International Airport is approximately one hour’s drive away.

Some improvements have already been made: the roof has been recently redone with insulation, and the north-facing walls have been fitted with thermal cladding. However, the house still requires a full renovation, with an estimated cost of around €1,500 per square meter for standard work.
