Liguria, Imperia, Pigna, Italy

Welcome to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase a 300-year-old Olive Mill in the picturesque village of Pigna.

This old property for sale in Pigna has a unique location in the Italian valleys and has 250m2 of living space which is in need of renovation, with an approved proposal to expand the property to have 400m2 of residential living space.

Surrounded by 2,000m2 of private, complete with pool approval and direct access to mountain springs and rock pools.

The Olive Mill is steeped in history and was fully active until the early 1960s, manufacturing olive oil. The machinery and workings are still in good shape, making the property a hidden gem.

An American professor purchased the property after falling in love with the area's genuine Italian villages and restoring the Mill into a distinctive and comfortable residence. Since his death in the mid 1990s, the villa has remained untouched, awaiting new owners to restore and revitalise it.

The approved project provides the possibility to restore and enlarge this beautiful villa, making it into a pleasant and unforgettable family home or holiday resort. The goal is to create a restoration project that flows, with a tranquil interior design that blends nature and well-being from the moment you walk in.

We imagine a spacious, comfortable kitchen and combined social room for family and friends to congregate and experiment with local seasonal fruit from the garden, as well as wine from the nearby vineyard and olive oil from the village's trees.

Pigna is set between the Alpine Marittime Natural Reserve and the famous Riviera dei Fiori on the Mediterranean Sea, making its location unrivalled. The village, which dates back to the 10th Century, is steeped in history, and the villa for sale in Pigna is only an hour from Monaco, an hour and a half from Nice International Airport and two hours from Genova, making it easy to travel around Europe and the rest of the world.

This remarkable property has the size and location to be a beautiful family home enjoyed for generations or an incredible holiday rental sought after by professionals and high-net-worth individuals wishing to unwind, go down to basics, and reconnect with family and friends.
