Lombardy, Varese, Italy

In the picturesque Porto Valtravaglia village, on the Lombard shore of Lake Maggiore, a short distance from Malpensa Airport and Switzerland border, in a commanding position, lies this charming farmhouse from the early 1900s. Surrounded by a vast park of 45,500 square meters, mostly flat, it offers enchanting views of Lake Maggiore from every angle. This exclusive property has been impeccably renovated, in the course of the 1990s. The aim was to preserve the flavor of the original building, an "ancient Lombard farmhouse". Currently divided into 4 apartments, the main one, spread over two levels, boasts a large kitchen with a fireplace, a cozy living room, a study, a spacious billiard room, and a second large living room also with a fireplace. On the second floor, the 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms offer comfort and privacy as well as a splendid panorama. The other 3 apartments, also developed on two floors, feature large living rooms with kitchens as well as two bedrooms and two bathrooms each. Completing the property are a double garage, an external space with an expandable wood-fired oven and a large greenhouse. The extension of the flat garden also allows for the convenient landing of helicopters. In an exclusive setting, with southwest exposure and the privilege of an extraordinary view, this residence represents a unique opportunity for its structure, size, and organization of spaces.
