Iconic Estate Between Castle Walls By The Gulf Of Naples

In the heart of Naples, inside an iconic English Gothic-style castle designed by the visionary Lamont Young, stands this exclusive estate for sale. An authentic architectural jewel of 400 sqm, offering refined rooms, balconies and panoramic terraces with breathtaking views over the Gulf of Naples. Distributed on four levels, this estate can be enjoyed as a single highly representative estate or divided into two autonomous units, thus offering maximum versatility. Each room has been designed to guarantee elegance and comfort, with large, bright spaces that dialogue harmoniously with the building's artistic architecture.

Located in one of the most fascinating areas of the city, the residence overlooks one of Naples' most prestigious avenues, characterised by period buildings and spectacular views of the sea. The location ensures proximity to the main services, high-class restaurants and historic attractions, including the Chiaia district, famous for its exclusive boutiques and vibrant cultural life. Only a few minutes away is the Lungomare Caracciolo and the city centre, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

This property is part of a major architectural work, designed by Lamont Young and completed in 1902. The Anglo-Neapolitan architect is known to have left an indelible mark on the city with visionary projects, including Villa Ebe and numerous palaces from Vomero to Chiaia. The Aselmeyer Castle, with its crenellated towers and Vesuvian stone details, is a unique example of the fusion of medieval aesthetics and 19th-century innovation, giving the residence an unparalleled charm. The choice of an English Gothic style, rare in Neapolitan architecture, makes this property even more exclusive, enhancing its artistic and historical value.

Its refined and bright interiors are spread over four levels and offer a refined atmosphere, perfect for those who want a residence with a historical flavour in which they can find every modern comfort. The first three levels of the property house a first unit, whose main entrance opens into the living area with a kitchen. From here, a marble-clad staircase leads to the upper levels, where two bedrooms and a bathroom are located. The atmosphere of the residence is imbued with the charm of period homes, with fine finishes and rooms that also lend themselves to a possible reinterpretation in a contemporary key. To ensure easier access to the various floors, the installation of an internal lift would be possible. The fourth level of the castle's forepart - which can also be reached through an independent external entrance - hosts a second residential unit with a floor area of 200 sqm directly overlooking the sea. Here, a spacious and bright living area is developed, consisting of an elegant living hall, an eat-in kitchen, four bedrooms and three bathrooms, one of which is en-suite. The distinctive element of this floor is the 56-sqm terrace, framed by the evocative crenellated towers in Vesuvian stone, from which there is an exclusive view of the Gulf of Naples and Capri. In addition, an internal staircase connects this floor to the charming rooftop terrace: a private corner of paradise from which to admire the breathtaking panorama.

This exclusive estae for sale is an unparalleled opportunity for those seeking a prestigious and charming home in the heart of Naples. The combination of the charm of period architecture and modern comfort makes this property an ideal choice for those who wish to live in an exclusive context, with spectacular views and the privilege of living in an author's home. The strategic location allows easy access to the city's main attractions, while the possibility of subdividing the property into two independent units makes it perfect both for a luxury private residence and as a prestigious investment. Thanks to its uniqueness, this property lends itself as a representative estate or a home for artists and intellectuals in search of a suggestive and inspiring place. A unique opportunity for those who dream of living in an icon of Neapolitan architecture, in an environment of extraordinary cultural and scenic value.
