Villa Lyan – Detached house with stunning sea view and large private park for sale in the Western Ligurian Riviera.
€ 890.000

Sea and nature are the absolute protagonists of this property located in the splendid "Riviera Ligure", in a dominant position, with a panoramic view of the sea that ranges from the promontory of Portofino to Capo Noli and at the same time immersed in the verdant Mediterranean scrub.
We offer for sale an elegant single-family villa with a private, fully fenced park of approximately two hectares, situated near the Beigua Regional Park.
We are only twenty kilometers from Genoa, about one hundred and fifty kilometers from Milan, Turin and the lively Côte d'Azur, on the heights of the town of Cogoleto, known for being the birthplace of Christopher Columbus!
The property is located about two hundred meters above sea level and about a kilometer and a half by road from the sea and the splendid beaches, which can be reached in just five minutes.
Built in the early 1980s by two Milanese professionals, the villa was first used as a holiday home and later as a primary residence. Its style recalls a refined country retreat, featuring terracotta floors, wooden window frames, textured walls mostly in white, with touches of color limited to the bedrooms. It is a safe and pristine haven—ideal for restful stays and an authentic connection with nature. An exclusive retreat offering complete privacy. Summers are fresh and breezy, while winters remain mild.
The villa is spread over four levels; on the ground floor, accessing from the external porch, we enter the double living room with fireplace, the veranda and a large study, facing south and facing the sea, a bathroom, the kitchen with veranda and wood-burning oven to the north-east.
From the living room, a comfortable internal staircase leads to the upper floor, where three bedrooms are located—two featuring a fireplace—along with a very large bathroom with two windows.
All rooms are exceptionally bright and open onto a wide terrace with a magnificent southern view, allowing you to wake up to the blue of the sea while the rising sun paints the horizon like a work of art.
Upstairs, continuing up the staircase, we find a large attic room with window.
Going down to the floor below the living area, with access both from the living room via the internal staircase and from the external stairs, one on each side, is the service area comprising cellar, pantry, bathroom, tavern room and boiler room. The exposure is to the south under the protective portico which gives access to the garden facing the sea.
The property also includes an external warehouse located on the access road to the estate, very bright and usable both as a laboratory and as a garage for two cars.
The solarium, terraces and verandas also allow you to comfortably experience the outdoor space around the house, in a pleasant continuum between inside and outside. The garden is filled with the colors of the blooms throughout the year according to the seasons (mimosas, lilac and white wisteria, roses, bougainvillea, jasmine, azaleas, calicantus, gardenias, hibiscus, etc.)
The thick Mediterranean maquis made up of spontaneous trees and shrubs such as arbutus, heather, juniper, oak, and broom has been increased over time, with trees and bushes of all kinds. The result is a pleasant harmony between the green of the vegetation, the blue of the sea, the warm sunlight and the cool shade of the wood.
In some areas of the land fruit trees have been planted and a part has been used for horticultural crops. The centuries-old olive grove has been restructured and increased with new plants for a total of about 80 olive trees which produce about 30 liters of oil a year.
On the clearest days it is possible to see the mountainous profile of Corsica on the horizon, the coast of Levante Ligure towards Tuscany and Capo Mele towards the west.
This is the ideal solution for anyone seeking a seaside property with generous outdoor spaces, away from the chaos yet close to all amenities. A short drive brings you to the center of Cogoleto or nearby Arenzano, where you’ll find supermarkets, banks, post offices, pharmacies, hospitals, railway station, buses, and sports facilities—including the renowned Golf Club Genova Sant’Anna.
The airports and port of Genoa are about 30 minutes away, and Nice Airport is approximately two hours away.
