65 sqm with 3 rooms, set in an olive grove of approximately 1800 sqm. Structurally the building is reasonably sound, but there are no services, so it would need complete renovation in order to be made habitable. The ground floor room has a vaulted ceiling. The rustic house is located between Baiardo and the neighbouring medieval town of Castelvittorio. This stretch of pre-Alpine hills is unspoilt, with chestnut forests and olive groves interspersed with traditional stone cottages.
There are no neighbours living in the
vicinity, but owners of the surrounding olive groves come to work on their
trees. Right next to the entrance of the property there is a tiny abandoned
stone chapel. A little further down the road, on a popular walking trail, there
is a medieval arched bridge spanning a shallow river with pools.
There are no services of any kind at present. Electricity can be applied
for, as there is a connection point fairly close by. Otherwise, the rustico can
be wired to a generator. Water would be piped from a spring. Sewage would
go to a septic tank, not a municipal network. The cost of wiring and plumbing
would be included in any renovation quotation we provide.
The rustico itself is located about 7.5 kms from
Baiardo; the first 7 kms are a provincial road, with an asphalt surface,
well maintained; the last 0.5 km is a private road, not tarred. At the
moment this section is not well maintained, but it is still passable with a
car with good road clearance, or better still, a 4-wheel drive vehicle, but
otherwise, the road can be improved, at a cost of about EUR 5000.
Baiardo can be reached from Sanremo, Arma di Taggia,
or Ventimiglia on the Italian-French border.
It is 45 minutes’ drive from the sea, and just over an hour’s drive from
Nice
International Airport and Monte Carlo. All three of these roads to
Baiardo are typical Ligurian hinterland roads – narrow and winding.
Generally, renovation costs work out at about € 1300 per sqm, excluding the cost
of connecting to the national power grid (about € 5000 for residents) or a
generator (about € 3 000).
Increasing the size of the rustico
When renovating, the municipality usually allows owners to increase the volume
of the existing building by 20%, which would work out to about an additional 10
sqm in this case. Also, it’s possible to add about 10 sqm of new building for
every 1 000 sqm of ground owned. This is the so-called building index, which in
this case, with approximately 1800 sqm of ground, would make it possible to
increase the building by about another
18 sqm. Finally, it’s possible to buy other ground nearby in order to increase
the building index further.
Climate of the region
The Baiardo area is pre-Alpine, but the climate is mitigated by the influence of
the Mediterranean. So it rarely snows, and if it does, the snow only sticks for
a day or two, except perhaps in odd spots of deep shadow. Generally, the winter
days are sunny and pleasant, but the temperature drops below zero at night in
the coldest period, which can last about 3 weeks. As this property is situated
halfway down a hill, at a lower altitude than Baiardo (600m) it is warmer and
more sheltered than the town, which is perched on the ridge. The ground is very
sunny, and it has a micro-climate which favours flowers such as orchids and wild
gladioli.
