5 bedrooms semi-detached house, 186 m²

Piana Crixia, Savona (province)

Two houses for the price of one. Buy it with a friend:- there are two titles, even though these two homes in the historic Via Borgo are
fully integrated as one house. 
This wonderful pre-Renaissance home, with its thick walls, offers a golden opportunity as an income-
generating property. It is situated close to historic landmarks – Napoleon camped in the very field next
to the house, and the world-famous giant rock mushroom is visible from the balcony, just a stone's
throw away.
Many healing legends surround this remarkable edifice of Nature. The ancient church on its doorstep is
truly spectacular – and the forests, hills and meandering streams and footpaths of the adjacent nature
reserve are food for the soul (... and also a joy for the truffle hunters!).
As far as position goes, this property ticks all the boxes.
It lies equidistant between Milan, Turin and Genoa. A good train station is just four minutes away. The
beach is close by for summer ... and the Alps are close by for winter. The French Riviera is less than a
two-and-a-half-hour drive.
On Airbnb, this five-bedroom house can easily become not only a place of the heart, but potentially an
excellent income-generating investment property.
A sweeping entrance hall gives access to two bedrooms, one renovated bathroom and one unrenovated
bathroom, a downstairs cellar, a small kitchen and a laundry. 
Upstairs, a small mezzanine gives double-door access to a generously proportioned sitting room with a
fireplace, an unrenovated bathroom, three more bedrooms, two Juliet balconies and a renovated
bathroom. 
The second floor is an attic and at present still used as such, but with obvious development potential. 
There is a lovely small garden with a garage and yet another small cellar beyond that. The size of the
walled garden is ideal to manage for lock up and go, yet perfect for family barbecues and catching
some glorious Italian sunshine. This part of the property could be converted into a small tourist
postcard café, serving snacks and ice creams, if the necessary permits are applied for. This would also
add enormous value to the property. 
The reason for the sale is that the 73-year-old owner is challenged by air travel and driving to visit her
property. The price has been reduced considerably for a quick sale.
