In the locality of Rocchetta di Lerici, a few kilometres away from the sea of the Golfo dei Poeti, a beautiful detached rural stone house with garden and land, skilfully restored and with open views of the countryside, is for sale.

The main building, dating back to the beginning of the 20th century, has been reorganised in every part with a conservative restoration, in order to maintain the special characteristics of the old Ligurian rural houses. The original period cementine floors, wooden beams with terracotta tiles, characteristic internal doors and stone wall details have been preserved and restored.

The manor house (where the owner of the land used to reside) is composed and distributed as follows: on the ground floor, which is accessed by a beautiful and characteristic farmyard with old stone paving and an old oven, we find an entrance into a large corridor, a habitable kitchen (equipped with a Demanincor gas and wood stove, for cooking in the tradition of Italian cuisine), two bedrooms and two bathrooms; on the mezzanine floor, we find a further bathroom; on the upper floor, first and last, we have a large living room with balcony and a particular fireplace with majolica tiles, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The property has another unit on two floors, suitable for accommodation activities or to provide privacy for possible guests. On the ground floor there is a living room with kitchenette, a bedroom and a bathroom. On the upper floor, with double entrance also from the outside, to ensure complete independence for any guests, there is a further bedroom with bathroom. This unit also has ample outdoor space, with a large paved courtyard to fully enjoy outdoor dining and relaxation, surrounded by nature.

The property is sold complete with furnishings, characterised by antique, 1940s and 1960s modern furniture, restored and excellently maintained.

The property is completed by two large garages, a building for storage use arranged on two levels and land of approximately 7,000 sqm, with an olive grove of 40 trees. A unique property, ideal for lovers of nature and the sea, given its proximity to the beaches of the Golfo dei Poeti coastline.

Lerici and its surroundings

Lerici is a magnificent seaside village that, with its boats and colorful houses, looks like a postcard. It is part of the world-famous Gulf of Poets, as is the town of San Terenzo, with which it is connected by a promenade along the seafront and walkable in a few minutes on foot. Since ever, the beauty of the Lerici - San Terenzo area has attracted cultural figures of a certain caliber, such as Mary Shelley, Eugenio Montale, Virginia Woolf, David H. Lawrence, and others. Both towns, Lerici and San Terenzo, host churches and a medieval-era castle that rises sheer above the sea. 

From Lerici it is very easy to reach the Cinque Terre, Portovenere, and Palmaria by boat.
