Historic residence near Lake Como
In the heart of Lenno, a charming hamlet of Tremezzina, just a short walk from the picturesque lakeside promenade, renowned restaurants and the jetty, stands this charming historic residence of rare beauty. The property, dating back to the 17th century and having undergone careful restoration – the first in the 1980s and the second in 1996 to mark its 300th anniversary – stands out for its authentic character and the presence of several harmoniously integrated buildings. Among these, the old spinning mill stands out, extraordinarily well-preserved in its original form, offering a unique opportunity to create further living spaces of great charm. The interiors, cosy and well-maintained, still feature precious period finishes that tell the story of the residence, creating a warm and timeless atmosphere. The main floor features a spacious and bright living room with access to an enchanting panoramic terrace overlooking the lake and the Grigna mountain range, a refined dining room, a functional kitchen, as well as a bathroom, laundry room and a charming lounge with a fireplace – all with period floors in Lombard plaster. A striking internal staircase leads to the upper floor, where there are three elegant bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy. The attic floor houses a further bedroom with a bathroom, ideal as a private suite or guest accommodation. The property is completed by a renovated self-contained apartment, perfect for accommodating family or guests, comprising a living room with open-plan kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a delightful small terrace with views of the lake and the Grigna mountain range. Outside, a magnificent garden of approximately 3,000 square metres surrounds the property, including internal gardens on two levels, enriched by centuries-old olive trees and ample parking space, offering a setting of absolute privacy and tranquillity. The availability of further building potential represents added value for any future developments. A unique residence, ideal for those wishing to live in or invest in a property with historic charm, surrounded by the timeless beauty of Lake Como. Tremezzina, a lakeside town situated on the central-western shore of Lake Como, is one of the most famous and prestigious locations in the area. The town of Lenno is well known both for its beautiful lakeside promenade, where there are numerous restaurants, shops, wine bars and amenities overlooking the Gulf of Venus, and for the beautiful Villa del Balbianello; the latter is a residence open to the public which, last year, was the second most visited property of the FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano, a cultural association) in Italy. Its proximity and ease of access to key transport links, such as Malpensa Airport, which is easily reached in about an hour’s drive, the city of Milan, 70 km away, and the city of Lugano in Switzerland, a half-hour’s drive away, have helped make Tremezzina one of the most sought-after locations on Lake Como. Tremezzina is situated opposite the world-famous town of Bellagio, which can be reached in just 10 minutes by boat. For lovers of winter sports or summer mountaineering, the most prestigious Alpine resorts are within easy reach; St. Moritz is just an hour and a half’s drive away, and Livigno, a duty-free zone where you can shop amongst the ski slopes, is about a two-hour drive away.
