Historical Villa For Sale A Few Steps Away From Lake Como

This stunning historical estate is in a residential area halfway between Lake Como and Lake Lecco, in Lombardy.

This wonderful complex looks like a real village made up of several buildings all connected to each other, with houses on various levels, and measures 5,000 square meters overall.

The property consists of the main house with a park and two courtyards, a main one, called the "high court" and a secondary one, called the "low court".

The entrance to the villa consists of two parallel avenues that lead to two wrought iron gates made by the famous Ratti. The first leads to a small garden overlooked by a private chapel dedicated to St Francis, which contains the paintings of the Umbrian school; the other gate instead leads to the "large courtyard" overlooked by part of the villa and part of the structure of the "lower courtyard". From this splendid courtyard, through a portico overlooked by a small Italian theater, we enter the villa and the park.

The villa rises on four levels and still preserves valuable coffered ceilings, finely decorated walls and big doors shaped and molded according to the Lombard artisan style of the late 18th century.

This beautiful villa consists of a large living area with a living room and an equipped kitchen. Of great attraction and worthy of note, the Hall which used to be an industrial room containing two water spinning machines, then transformed into a Ballroom at the behest of the engineer Carlo Clerici. At the end of the 19th century, Carlo decided, in fact, to have it emptied of the imposing machinery and instead to have it frescoed with paintings, family crests and Latin maxims, executed by skilled local artisans. A private sleeping area completes the main house with seven bedrooms and six bathrooms.

The park, which measures one hectare, was built in the early 1900s by the architect G. Roda, who not only remodeled the meadows and hills, but also created a magnificent lake. The property's highlight is certainly its wonderful clay tennis court, ideal for lovers of this sport.

Thanks to its enchanting residential area, convenient for all services and at the same time close to the beautiful lakes, and thanks to its historical soul and the privacy that it guarantees, this property for sale is perfect both as a private home and as an accommodation facility.
