MAGNIFICENT VILLA WITH SEA ACCESS AND GARDEN, CIPRESSA – SANREMO

This historic, unique luxury property with direct access to the sea and breathtaking views is nestled on a scenic promontory a few kilometers from San Remo. As early as the time of the Western Roman Empire, this property was used as a watchtower against the Saracens, and it is presumed that the tower for sale today dates back to the 16th century. The property, wisely recovered with an intervention aimed at preserving the historicity of the property that ensures livability and all comforts, is a perfect blend of history and modernity. The villa is spread over three floors, spacious and bright, with a total area of 255 square meters plus a basement used as a splendid large cellar. The internal composition of the tower is as follows: on the ground floor a large kitchen/dining area, the staircase to the basement and the staircase to the upper floors; on the second floor a panoramic living room with an unobstructed sea view; on the second floor two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large walk-in closet and the panoramic terrace. Adjacent to the tower a volume, with separate entrance, houses a room with bathroom/laundry, ideal as a service room for the main house. The main structure is surrounded by 4,000 square meters of land consisting of a beautiful terraced garden that stretches to the cliff. Spacious and characteristic green and shady spaces on the sides and back of the tower, as well as the area equipped with an infinity pool and incredible sea views. Adjacent to the pool is the annex composed of a complete and independent mini apartment of about 75 square meters, ideal as a guest-house. From the large private garden, planted with Mediterranean essences and through paths paved in stone, there is direct access both to an enchanting circular terrace set in the cliff, from which to enjoy the sunsets that this location gives thanks to its splendid position, and to a relaxation area directly on the sea that makes this property a unique pied dans l’eau.
Completing the property are 4 parking spaces. Protected by the mountains on one side and illuminated by the sun and the sea on the other, Cipressa owes its name, according to a local legend, to the first inhabitants of the area who apparently fled from the island of Cyprus and landed right on the Aregai beach, the first lido you come across from the bike path. The houses in the village are arranged in a semicircle as if to protect each other and tell the story of the many raids they suffered, but also of the lives of the fishermen and farmers who still animate the village today. Cipressa, is a renowned tourist resort where, visitors, can rest and spend a few days and then descend back to the bike path and continue their tour to discover the beauty of the Riviera di Ponente, from which to admire the more than 50 kilometers of coastline, until caressing the French city of Toulon in the distance.
