Lake Como

Independent house with lake views and panoramic terraces in Colonno
In Colonno, in a sunny position with open views over the lake, this independent house offers a rare combination for the area: recent construction, genuinely usable outdoor spaces, panoramic views of Lake Como from all the rooms, and a private double garage. Built approximately ten years ago and now presented in excellent condition, the property is arranged over two residential floors, in addition to a lower-ground level. The internal layout is clear and practical, making the house well suited both as a main residence and as a home for shorter stays on Lake Como. The main floor hosts the living area, composed of a sitting room and kitchen arranged within a single open space. The French doors open directly onto the large terrace overlooking the lake, a generously sized outdoor area that extends the use of the house during the warmer months. On the same level, there is also a guest bathroom and a bedroom with a private bathroom. The presence of a bedroom on the living level makes the house particularly convenient for those who prefer to avoid daily use of the stairs. The upper floor comprises a second bedroom with an adjoining bathroom and a study, which can easily be used as an additional bedroom if required. From this level, there is access to a second spacious terrace, one of the most representative areas of the property. From here, the view of the lake is particularly open, with a wide perspective over the water and the surrounding mountains. The lower-ground floor completes the house with a double garage, a highly practical feature in a lakeside village where private parking is a significant advantage. The property is ready to be lived in and offers a well-organised solution for those seeking an independent home within an authentic setting on Lake Como. Its views, exposure, terraces and double garage make it a particularly interesting proposition within the Colonno property market. Colonno is one of the most authentic villages on the western shore of Lake Como. Set between the mountain and the water, it still preserves the intimate structure of a traditional lakeside settlement, with narrow lanes, stone passages, unexpected glimpses of the lake and historic houses that reflect a direct and everyday relationship with the water. Its medieval origins can be perceived in the compact fabric of the village, in the simplicity of its architecture and in the quiet rhythm of its streets, far from the more overt image of other destinations on the lake. It is a discreet and highly charming setting, particularly suited to those seeking an authentic location, well integrated into the landscape and able to offer a more private way of experiencing life on Lake Como. Colonno is also the starting point of the Greenway del Lago di Como, one of the most scenic walking routes in the area. The path crosses villages, gardens, historic villas and panoramic stretches along the sunny Tremezzina. It offers a slower way to discover the territory, passing through ancient hamlets, lake views, terraced landscapes, churches, patrician houses and Mediterranean gardens, in a natural balance between Alpine scenery and lakeside atmosphere. The location also allows easy access to some of the best-known destinations in the central part of the lake, including Tremezzina and Menaggio, with their restaurants, promenades, services and boat connections. Como, the provincial capital, is approximately 25 km away, while Milan Malpensa International Airport and Lugano-Agno Airport in Switzerland can be reached in around one hour by car. Colonno also offers an interesting balance between lake and mountain. The main Alpine ski resorts, both in Italy and Switzerland, are reachable in approximately two hours, while in just over two hours the Ligurian Riviera opens onto a completely different landscape, with the sea, coastal villages and Mediterranean colours and scents.
