Pied dans l’eau – Portofino Coast
An extraordinary and unique home laid out on four floors, hovering above the sea. The two large sea-facing terraces offer multiple lounging options and dining areas. The spectacular, landscaped garden has palm trees, olive trees, cactus, cherry, lemon. Walk from your private garden through your garden gate and you can reach the sea in just a few steps.
The Ground Floor has a Living Room with a Fireplace and 6 double French doors that walk out onto the Sea-Facing Terrace. There is a fireplace as well as a glassed-in garden courtyard and a powder room on this level. The floors are deep and rich Carniglia sandstone.
The fine architectural design make it a perfect turn key solution for those who don’t want to embark on a renovation, but simply to move in and enjoy the best of what the Italian Riviera has to offer. Astonishing views abound, and you can hear the sea below you. The property is nestled in a little bay with easy access into the sea for a dip.
The home is meticulously maintained by the current owners.
Access by car is very good via the private gated entrance at the top of the road. Being set far below the main road, there is no sound disturbance from the road or from the train. You must come to see it to believe it!
Approx. 365 sq. metres, plus garage and approx. 310 sq. metres of garden.
The outdoor space is surely the protagonist, but it is woven in perfectly with the indoor space to allow for an easy flow from living rooms and kitchens and bedrooms to the outdoors. The environment is harmonious and artistic.
The cozy indoor living space with its wood burning fireplace make it an intimate space from which to enjoy the spectacular sea views. The 6 sets of French doors take you onto the terrace where the spectacle begins.
The Kitchen and Open Concept indoor/outdoor dining space make for a perfect space to entertain even large groups easily. The custom built kitchen with hideaway appliances are both chic and practical.
The Master Suite is spectacular and playful in its flow with an open but private bathroom with large soaker tub with water fall, and a walk in rain shower, double marble vessel sinks, and an awe inspiring view over the cactus plants and into the sea. Private and serene, this space is a totally unique place to rest and restore while surrounded by nature at every angle.
From the Master Suite you can walk into the garden, and across the way to the Separate Studio which also has plumbing. It is currently used as an Artist’s studio.
There is a second full bathroom on this level, as well as the Laundry Room and Utilities Room.
On the Lower Level you will find a grand room facing onto the sea that can either be used as a Bedroom/study or a Second Indoor Living Room. This also has easy access to the garden and terraces. On this floor is another Full Bathroom and Small Bedroom.
Down the dramatic and artistic corkscrew staircase, you will find the last Bedroom or Den with a balcony that juts out onto the Sea.
The Garden is an oasis of peace & tranquility. Populated by Yucca, Camellia, Pittosporum, Tamarisk, Bougainville, Orchids, Hawaiin Hibiscus, Banana, Agapanthus, Kumquat, Stephanotis, Jasmin, Papyrus and Ficus Bonsai trees.
