Stone Cottage with Garden for Sale in Pigna, Imperia, Italy

20,000 Stone Cottage on 5,000Sqm Land,45mins Nice Airport

This is a total renovation project, the cottage is presently it is a ruin under brambles and not even possible to photograph, it is 50sqm on two floors but because of the 5,000sqm of land it sits on the volume can be almost doubled which will make it a very nice property. There is no light or water but both attachments are 500 metres away so easy. The cottage is just 10mins walk from the centre of the village and it can be reached easily by car (4x4 recommended).
On the land there is already 140 olive trees again covered in brambles looks a bit like a forest, but once the land is cleaned and the olive trees cut back and tidied you are guaranteed your own oil, and enough to sell, plus wood for the winter.
With approx 80,000euro all the work can be completed for a wonderful holiday home or permanent home as you wish.

The view is amazing and the cottage is south facing so very sunny.

The asking price is less than a family car!!

This unspoilt 12th century village has it all, friendly local people ready with a smile and a helping hand, not to mention a bag of different fresh vegetables throughout the seasons, the elders of the village are always on hand to show a willing new arrival how to make pasta, tomato sauce, dried tomatoes even how to make their own olive oil.

Nothing is too much trouble for a native of Pigna. We have wonderful village dances all summer long where gran and grandad (nonno and nonna) get to teach their grandkids how to waltz, tango, mambo, salsa and anything else the band can play and then the kids get to teach nonno and nonna how to boogie, or whatever it is called these days, one thing is absolutely guaranteed and that is a great time for everyone.

The village has 3 village stores, 3 restaurants, 4 coffee bars, a pizzeria,a doctor's surgery, pharmacy, bank, Post Office, tennis courts, football field, playing fields, 2 children's playgrounds, plenty of parking, all the amenities you could want on a small village scale. Rock pools are dotted around the village which make spectacular bathing holes in the endless hot summer.
