Description
This charming property is located in one of the most suggestive positions of Lake Como, on the picturesque shores of the village of Colonno, located in the Tremezzina region, also known as the "Golden Region" for its extraordinary exposure to the sun. This area is home to some of the most notable historic villas, including Villa Balbianello, Villa Casinella etc. Once inhabited by fishermen and farmers, the area has preserved the typical architecture of the lake.
Furthermore, the famous Greenway della Tremezzina, 10 km long, from Colonno to Griante, is a hiking trail that leads to the discovery of ancient villages, villas and gardens, Romanesque and Baroque churches immersed in the enchanting natural landscape of the western shore of the lake.
The property “pieds dans l'eau”, built around 1840, is distributed over 3 levels, plus the attic, for a total of approximately 400 square meters. It features many of the original features, but requires substantial renovation work to bring it back to its former glory. Most of the rooms overlook the lake and, in two of these rooms, we also find the presence of balconies. Once restored, the property can become a real gem.
The main entrance to the property is from the back of the house, just a two-minute walk from the public parking on the lake, through a picturesque cobblestone path.
Entering the property, you can immediately glimpse the lake. In particular, on the ground floor there is a large open-space room with vaulted stone ceilings. In addition, we find a small outdoor space with direct access to the lake. Through an internal staircase, in characteristic Moltrasio stone, you reach the first floor currently divided into three large rooms that overlook the lake and the village of Colonno, behind the house. The large fireplace with benches overlooking the lake is an element that characterizes the original 19th century finishes.
On the upper floor we find the main room with private lounge, two other bedrooms and the bathroom, which characterize the current sleeping area. The attic floor has windows overlooking the lake and consists of a large open-space with generous heights exceeding 3 meters and exposed beams.
This historic house offers a magical experience of a lifetime facing the lake, a panoramic lake view and direct access to the lake where you can also swim or practice various water sports. Also perfect as a real estate investment, the property will always maintain its value thanks to its unique location directly on the lake.
The picturesque town of Colonno, in the province of Como, with its approximately 550 inhabitants, is located on the western shore of Lake Como, directly on the shores of the lake and at the foot of Monte Costone. It extends along Via Regina, between Argegno and Sala Comacina to Punta Balbianello.--663b15c351b880b3547c9da2ddd43fff!
