2 bedrooms detached house, 105 m²

Perinaldo, Imperia (province)

Set in a privileged and peaceful position on the edge of the picturesque hilltop village of Perinaldo, at approximately 580 meters above sea level, this detached natural stone house is an exceptional property. Completely renovated in 2022 to an outstanding standard, the house underwent a comprehensive refurbishment, with every structural and technical element renewed. The result is a unique home that beautifully combines the authentic charm of traditional Ligurian stone architecture with state-of-the-art technology, excellent energy efficiency, and contemporary living comfort.
One of the property’s outstanding features is its excellent accessibility. The house can be reached by car almost to the front door, with public parking spaces located just a few meters below. This rare convenience in a historic Ligurian village allows groceries and luggage to be transported to the property with ease.
Facing north-east, the house enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the rolling hills of Liguria, stretching towards the Alps and the historic villages of Apricale and Bajardo. The peaceful surroundings, birdsong, and swallows gracefully circling above the terrace create an atmosphere of exceptional tranquility.
Offering approximately 105 m² of living space over three levels, the property presents a modern yet authentic living concept. The entrance opens into a bright and airy living area with floor-to-ceiling windows. This level also includes a generous utility room, which can easily be converted into an additional bedroom if desired, as well as a spacious shower room that is accessible from both the living area and the utility room.
An open staircase leads to the heart of the home: the impressive kitchen and dining area beneath a striking vaulted roof with exposed timber beams. Antique wooden beams sourced from Piedmont, exposed natural stone walls, and tasteful interior design create an exceptional atmosphere were traditional craftsmanship blends seamlessly with timeless elegance. Large French doors open onto both the wrap-around panoramic balcony and the approximately 24 m² sun terrace. A high-quality outdoor kitchen makes this the perfect setting for relaxed evenings with family and friends, while spectacular sunrises over the Ligurian mountains can be enjoyed each morning.
The garden level accommodates the principal bedroom with its en-suite bathroom, together with a second bedroom. Both rooms have direct access to the approximately 50 m² private garden, extending the living space outdoors and providing a peaceful retreat for relaxation.
The house has been intentionally designed as an open-plan living environment. Apart from the two bathrooms, there are no internal doors, allowing each living area to flow naturally into the next. The two bedrooms on the garden level are also open-plan, enhancing the property’s distinctive loft-style character.
Included with the property is a separate cellar of approximately 15 m², located in the building opposite. It houses the technical equipment and offers valuable additional storage space.
From a technical perspective, the property meets the highest standards of energy efficiency and comfort. A modern heat pump, supported by a battery storage system, supplies both heating and hot water. Underfloor heating throughout the entire house ensures a comfortable indoor climate all year round. Twelve photovoltaic panels contribute to sustainable energy production, while insulated PVC windows, insect screens on every window, and a high-performance 14 cm external insulation system complete the property’s impressive energy concept.
Only the en-suite bathroom of the principal bedroom remains unfinished, offering the future owners the opportunity to design and install the shower according to their personal preferences. The connection of this bathroom to the public sewer system requires only the installation of a small lifting station with a collection chamber. The necessary project has already been fully approved and is available, allowing the remaining work to be completed without difficulty.
This exceptional property combines authentic Ligurian character, outstanding craftsmanship, cutting-edge building technology, and an unrivalled panoramic setting. It is an elegant retreat for those seeking peace, nature, and Mediterranean living at its finest.
