16th-century Villa With A Panoramic Tower In Varese

This majestic residential complex is for sale on the outskirts of the Valle del Lanza Park, at a stone's throw from Varese's town centre and the border with Switzerland.

Perfectly inserted in the verdant setting of Varese's plain, just ten minutes from its town centre, this estate is the ideal place for those who dream of an escape from the frenetic city life, perfect for rediscovering true contact with nature without renouncing the comforts of big cities, as it is just half an hour from Lugano and Milan's Malpensa airport.

Consisting of a main house with a garden and numerous cottages and rural buildings, a small castle and a belvedere tower, which from a height of 30 meters dominates the entire Bramoa valley, this property is an important courtyard building complex which houses in its 1-hectare park a source of mineral water.

Built in the late sixteenth century and now completely to be restored, this property consists of an internal courtyard, closed on three sides, onto which the rooms of the villa overlook. The tower, which stands behind the villa, was added at a later time, at the end of the 19th century, to recall the decorations of the villa.

To delimit the main entrance to the property we find a gate on the large courtyard in front of the villa, while on one side there is a lovely 3,500-sqm garden, surrounded by walls and adorned with centuries-old trees, including a wonderful cedar of Lebanon.

Measuring 1,200 sqm, the house has three levels, connected internally by a big decorated staircase. On the top floor, the belvedere tower rises majestically to dominate a breathtaking view of the Alps and nearby Switzerland.
