Description
This magnificent villa is situated in an unobstructable panoramic lake view location, privately on the edge of the forest. Here, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of nature and the picturesque backdrop of Lake Maggiore, living becomes an absolute luxury. The sun and the view become a constant companion, raising the quality of life of the residents to an unrivalled level.
Strict laconic forms, stable durable concrete and metal flat roof - a minimum of decor and a maximum of rationality. This minimalist villa is spacious, private and secure.
The building is accessible via an external staircase or with a high quality external lift directly from the garage. It is divided over three floors.
Arrives on. A forecourt covered with natural granite slabs welcomes you generously and invites you into the property. On entering, the first thing you notice is the magnificent wellness area with a heated rock pool (approx. 6x3m). Flamed local granite adorns the floor. The Turkish bath, shower/WC and a spacious relaxation area are at your disposal. If you slide the French window to the side, the pool landscape merges with the fantastic lake and mountain panorama. There is also a natural wine cellar, a spacious studio/hobby room and the technical/cellar rooms on this floor.
Slightly spiralling stairs made of the same granite lead to the 1st floor. This is the heart of the house. The remarkably large living area with its high gallery and loft-like atmosphere is a true living art form. The flamed local granite continues. The fireplace quietly divides the room into living and dining areas. Next door is the spacious kitchen, equipped with the latest electrical appliances, with direct access to the covered lounge and garden. There is also a guest toilet.
On the 2nd floor are the bedrooms and, in the centre, the gallery library. The master bedroom with 2 separate dressing rooms and en-suite bathroom leads directly onto the magnificent south-west-facing terrace. Two further rooms, which can be used as studies or bedrooms, are a good size. A further bathroom serves these bedrooms.
A private area for your valued guests comprises a 3.5 room granny flat, which is located in the annex to the main building. Living/kitchen area, 2 bedrooms, bathroom and balcony - all with mesmerising views.
There is a project to build an outdoor swimming pool and extend the terrace - which, in addition to the fantastic panoramic location, is another unbeatable argument for settling at this sought-after address.
A large double garage and three additional parking spaces are available.
Holiday residence status is possible.
