In Badalucco, an olive grove with a private mill is up for sale

In the heart of Liguria, amidst ancient terraces and gentle hills, lies a unique estate where nature, history, and true Italian traditions merge, creating an extraordinary space out of time. The "Marga-Faseo" olive grove, covering an area of about 25,000 square meters, holds the breath of centuries: two stone buildings, one dating back to the early 19th century, still bear traces of the past, including fortifications built after the devastating earthquake in Bussana in 1887, with remaining metal elements marked by the stamp "Fondiaria Assicurazioni," like a seal of time impervious to change.

The second plot, located in Chian-Cantiga, spans about 15,000 square meters with olive trees, complemented by an extensive chestnut grove of approximately 28,000 square meters and three buildings, creating a harmonious rural ensemble whose history dates back to the late 18th century and is intricately linked to family continuity and care for the land.

The true treasure of this estate is the historic olive mill, located by the picturesque Argentina stream: its history begins in the 17th century when it was built by the municipality of Montalto Ligure along with other mills that served as the center of rural life and the economy of the region. In 1893, the mill was purchased by a private individual after a public auction, and then, in 1924, it passed to the Donzella-Novella family, who made innovative changes by replacing the traditional wooden wheel with an iron one, which has been preserved and still functions today, turning the mill into a unique example of living engineering history.

The water channel "del Molino," fed by the waters of the stream, still drives the mechanism, allowing one to feel the true power of nature and the traditions underlying olive oil production. This estate represents not just a piece of land, but an exceptional opportunity to create something truly outstanding—from premium olive oil production to an elegant agritourism project, where every detail, from ancient trees to stone walls and babbling water, becomes part of a unique experience filled with beauty, history, and true value that can become a legacy for future generations.
