This splendid property consists of a prestigious period villa, whose origins date back to 1820. It affords the possibility to arrive by boat and land by private helicopter, making this property even more exclusive, ideal for all those who wish to experience being by the lake in an exciting context.
With a past full of changes behind it, it has managed to preserve its historical prestige thanks to an extensive renovation. Next to it, in an exclusive position facing the lake, an original building from the early twentieth century is the result of a meticulous recovery and restoration of what was once a hydroelectric power station. Today, with an internal area of 220m2 on two levels, it lends itself as a charming annex serving the main estate, with independent and direct access to the garden that surrounds the entire property.
The beautiful Italianate-style historical park measures 3,000m2 and includes two spacious outdoor terraces of over 150m2, perfectly equipped with sofas and seats overlooking the water, with the possibility of creating a magnificent swimming pool.
As the ideal place to relax in the shade of tall trees and Mediterranean plants, while admiring a breathtaking view of the entire lakeside, the courtyard in front of the villa is embellished with magnificent sculptures and a scenic old fountain, decorative elements that enhance the charm of the big outdoor area, crossed by a charming waterfall that descends directly from the mountain.
An ancient wrought iron pergola, equipped with a dining table and chairs, offers the ideal corner for moments of outdoor leisure and introduces us into this old house, which flanks a perfectly furnished portion with a finely restored wing whose rooms are yet to be customised.
The ground floor provides a spacious living area divided into a large living room, a dining room with a spectacular antique window that plays with bright, vibrant colours, a second larger dining room, a refreshment point with a splendid view of Lake Maggiore and Switzerland, a professional kitchen by Angelo Po, and a cellar for storing wine.
On the upper floors are three comfortable suites with private bathroom, an emblem of style and elegance, combined with maximum comfort, two of which have a splendid panoramic terrace.
There are several cellars at lake level, ideal for creating an exclusive wellness area with spa, an internal private car park, and additional external parking spaces complete the great features of this enchanting and historic estate in an exclusive location facing Lake Maggiore.

Buying Real Estate in Italy
1. Making the Offer to Purchase (Offerta)
Once you have found the property you wish to purchase you will start the process by making a formal offer to the vendor, the estate agent will act on your behalf and put forward the offer, a deposit will be made available, generally around (10,000 - 20,000 EUR). Once the vendor has accepted the offer it will be formalised in writing to the vendor in both English and Italian. If this is accepted the deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid to the vendor. This will form a legally binding contract. Neither party may withdraw at this point, the sale can be forced by either party or a claim for damages can be made. If the purchaser withdraws their deposit will be lost, if the vendor withdraws the purchaser can claim twice the deposit in compensation.
2. Signing the Preliminary Contract (Compromesso or Contratto preliminare)
The next step will take place between 1 and 3 months after the offer has been accepted, this is a formal agreement between the vendor and purchaser to sell and buy the property, this agreement is the Preliminary Contract and will contain the conditions and terms of the sale. It is important at this stage that you have a full understanding of all the details contained in the contract. We would strongly recommend that you appoint a Notary who is fluent in English. This document will include the purchase price, a detailed description of the property including completion date and will cover any obligations placed upon the buyer and the vendor. All information relating to the property including any planning permissions for the property and the cadastral details (a public record, survey, or map of the value, extent, and ownership of land as a basis of taxation). Once the Preliminary Contract (Contratto preliminare) has been signed a further deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid, this will generally be 10% - 20% of the purchase price. There will also be an estate agents Commission Fee (Provvigione) which will need to be paid at this point.
3. Signing the Final Deed of Sale (Rogito or Atto Notarile)
The purchaser must have a bank account in order to make the purchase on completion. The signing of the final deed of sale which will authorise the transfer of the property must be overseen by a Notary (Notaio). The buyer will select and hire the Notary, but they are members of an independent body of public/professionals who will draft the purchase deed, they will oversee the passing of the title legally from the vendor to the purchaser. The Notary will also verify the legality of the documentation and registration with the Conservatoria dei Registri Immobiliari and the Local Land Register.
4. Formalities to be observed after Completion
Foreign buyers should obtain a certified copy of the Purchase Deed (Rogito), which the Notary will have lodged with the authorities. Generally this will be available to collect around 2 – 3 weeks after completion. The Notary will also give you a form to complete for the the local authority (Questura) who will have been given formal notice of the purchase. Your Notary will help you to complete this form. You will need to contact the utilities companies to set up new contracts (power, water, telephone, gas etc.). If the property is a flat, the condominium manager (Amministratore del condominio) should be informed of change of ownership of the property.
