5 bedrooms villa, 300 m²

Pornassio, Imperia (province)

The property is located in the Nava hamlet of the municipality of Pornassio, at an altitude of 900 meters. Situated at the foot of the Ligurian Alps, this area is about a 35-minute drive from the sea, positioned on the natural border separating Piedmont from Liguria.

This is an independent three-story house, free on all four sides, with a private parking area and a courtyard at the rear of the house.

The property is particularly suited for a hospitality business, ideal for creating a bed and breakfast with two apartments on the first and second floors, and a restaurant/bar area on the ground floor, or even a small hotel with multiple rooms and a reception hall.

Currently, the house is divided into three residential units. On the ground floor, there is a unit that was originally used as a shop, completely customizable as it is free of partitions and installations. At the back, there is a boiler room housing a diesel boiler that is currently out of use, which previously provided heating for the entire property.

Access to the upper floors is via internal stairs, independent of the ground floor, and accessible from both the outside and inside.

On the first floor, there is a large and bright apartment where demolition work had begun in preparation for renovation. This apartment consists of three double bedrooms, all with windows, two of which have access to the terrace, a living room with a fireplace, a kitchen with terrace access, and a space adjacent to the kitchen intended for a bathroom, where the demolition work has already been completed.

From the first floor, there is also access to the courtyard at the back of the house, which can be used as a livable outdoor space, perfect for barbecues or walks in the surrounding woods.

Moving up to the second and top floor, there is a second apartment, smaller than the first but equally bright and airy. It consists of a dining room, a kitchen, and two bedrooms with a small balcony offering an open view of the fields. In this apartment, the wooden ceiling paneling was removed to allow for insulation and the repair of some roof tiles; the roof is now in excellent condition and requires no further work.

Inside the house, about 91 square meters of laminate flooring are left to redo the flooring in at least one of the three apartments, along with a new, never-installed electric water heater, a fireplace insert, and new wooden baseboards that have not yet been installed.

The house requires internal renovation, including updating the electrical and plumbing systems, as well as the heating system for the entire property. However, the structure is solid, and the roof, which only needs proper insulation, does not have any leaks.
