Enchanting villa in the middle of the forest.
In the heart of the greenery and tranquillity of Sesto Calende, on the edge of the Parco del Ticino and the Parco dei Lagoni, we offer for sale a detached villa of great charm. The property is set in natural surroundings of exceptional beauty and just minutes from the town centre. The location is ideal for those who want to live far from the hustle and bustle but still have all amenities - shops, cafes, restaurants and schools - within easy reach. Direct access to the forest and harmonious integration into the surrounding landscape make this property a true oasis of tranquillity.
The villa was designed by architect Gerati, known for his use of characteristic internal tie rods, and is built with high-quality materials. Spruce exterior beams and larch cladding - known for their durability and limited maintenance - give the house a solid and warm appearance that blends perfectly with its natural surroundings. Thanks to well-insulated walls with double-skin panels and internal insulation material, the house boasts good thermal insulation and energy label E.
The villa is spread over three floors with a total living area of approximately 230 m². On the main floor is a spacious living area with a fireplace, ideal for cosy moments. The dining room, equipped with a pellet stove, is directly connected to the modern open-plan kitchen. Also on the same floor are a practical laundry room, a bathroom with double sink and shower, and a bedroom.
Upstairs is the sleeping area with a spacious master bedroom, a bathroom with bathtub and a private balcony. An external staircase leads to a terrace from where you can enjoy beautiful views over the woods.
In the basement there is a cellar/tavern with terracotta floor.
The property is further completed by a well-kept garden of about 800 m² and a covered carport for several cars.
The installations are efficient and regularly maintained: heating is via radiators on GPL gas, a wood-burning stove and the aforementioned pellet stove. The property features double-glazed windows and parquet floors throughout the house, except for the bathrooms and stairwell (slate) and the tavern (terracotta).
Choosing this villa means investing in a sustainable and peaceful lifestyle, in the middle of nature, without giving up the comforts of urban amenities.
