Residence for sale, Finale Ligure VBD40348

Dominating the hills of Finale Ligure, surrounded by woods and just a few minutes from the crystal clear waters of the Ligurian Riviera, Forte Tortagna is an extraordinary nineteenth-century fortress that blends the charm of history with the elegance of contemporary living. Built between 1883 and 1895 at the request of the Royal Italian Army, the fortress has a polygonal structure, hidden by embankments and surrounded by a moat, testifying to its defensive origins. Today this rare architectural jewel has been transformed into a prestigious private residence, with all the rooms overlooking a large central courtyard. The interiors, carefully restored and furnished with custom-made elements, create a warm and evocative atmosphere: from the library to the reception rooms, from the spacious kitchen to the five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Every detail combines historical authenticity with modern comfort. The property covers approximately 865 square meters and includes 60,000 square meters of private land, ensuring total privacy. A rooftop pool, helipad, caretaker's house, plus garage and laundry room, complete the extension. Life here takes place in harmony with nature, between spectacular views and an atmosphere of absolute tranquility. Forte Tortagna is much more than a residence: it is a place of inspiration, ideal as a private retreat, an exclusive venue for events or a charming hospitality project. The elevated position guarantees peace and privacy, while the proximity to renowned destinations such as Milan, Genoa and Monte Carlo makes it both accessible and timeless.
