Description
The property, uninhabited for several decades, still retains the authentic charm of the period Ligurian houses, with large panoramic terraces, bright spaces and stunning views of the coast and the sea.
The rooms, spread over several levels, offer the possibility of an important restoration and valorization, ideal for those who wish to give back to this unique residence its ancient splendor.
The location is discreet and quiet, but at the same time convenient to reach the center of Ventimiglia, the French border and the main localities of the Ligurian Riviera.
Historic residence suspended between sky and sea. This early 20th-century villa, a former school founded by Sir Thomas Hanbury, dominates the Mediterranean from a private promontory in Mortola Superiore, between the Riviera dei Fiori and the French Riviera.
Its 1,300 m2 of living space and 3,000 m2 of terraced gardens offer a panoramic view 180° from Bordighera to Monte-Carlo, Cap Martin and Menton. The residence retains its original Ligurian architecture (stone arches, panoramic tower), but requires a complete restoration to regain all its splendor. Large terraces and a rooftop gazebo invite you to dine al fresco and enjoy sunset aperitifs, with the lights of Monaco in the distance.
A few minutes away are the Hanbury Botanical Gardens and the beaches below, such as the Balzi Rossi, which can be reached on foot from the path that starts from the cross in front of the property. A few kilometers from the historic center of Ventimiglia and the pastel villages of the Côte d'Azur, they highlight the lifestyle and the exclusive setting that surrounds the property.
Monaco is reachable in about half an hour (22 km, about 28 minutes by car) and Nice Côte d'Azur airport is about 45 minutes away.
Perfect for creating a luxury private residence or boutique hotel.
