Exclusive Historical Villa With Private Dockyard By Lake Maggiore

This extraordinary historical villa stands out for its grandeur and unrivalled prestige among the great period properties overlooking the water. Spanning four levels, it is served by a private lift and comprises seven bedrooms and numerous bathrooms. Surrounded by a monumental panoramic terrace designed as an open-air extension of the living area and complemented by an intimate, level garden, the property boasts extremely rare direct private access to the lake, complete with an exclusive mooring and jetty. Situated on Isola dei Pescatori, the only gem in the Borromeo Gulf that is permanently inhabited throughout the year, this property enjoys an authentic atmosphere, untouched by the passage of time. The skilful internal layout of the spaces and the property’s complete seclusion set it apart as a princely residence of the highest standing, offering a natural suitability for hosting a large number of guests in the utmost comfort or for developing refined and discreet hospitality and elite leisure services of an international standard.

Its imposing stately architecture has undergone a masterful and meticulous conservation restoration aimed at preserving the property’s monumental charm intact, whilst integrating state-of-the-art technological and building services solutions. The residence has been fully refurbished in its key structural elements, boasting high-performance thermal and acoustic insulation and a completely new roof. The interiors, extraordinarily warm and airy, feature spacious volumes enhanced by high, sloping ceilings on the top floor, lending the property a strong sense of identity and creating intimate yet light-filled spaces. The villa is being offered on the market in its current condition to allow the new owner to create a bespoke work of art, with complete freedom to select fine flooring, finishes for the en-suite bathrooms and interior design solutions according to their own aesthetic vision.

The floor plan faithfully reflects the contemporary concept of conviviality and urban opulence applied to grand lakeside estates. The main floor opens onto a sumptuous reception lounge with large sliding glass doors fitted with high-tech double glazing, designed to frame the view of the surrounding waters like a constantly shifting natural landscape. The living area incorporates a highly versatile open-plan kitchen and extends outwards, blending seamlessly with the spectacular panoramic terrace: the ideal setting for gala dinners, receptions, or simply to enjoy the tranquillity of the lake. The upper floors, easily accessible via the grand staircase or the bespoke internal lift, house the sleeping quarters, comprising seven elegant master suites designed to ensure maximum privacy for family members and distinguished guests.

The flat private garden frames the main façade, offering a secluded, elegant and easy-to-maintain space, ideal for relaxing amongst shrubs typical of the lakeside microclimate and well-tended lawns. The true strategic value of the estate lies in the waterside area: a private staircase descends discreetly directly from the grounds to lead to the beach and the public jetty. From here, one gains access to the property’s private mooring, an exceptionally rare feature on the market that allows for the berthing and protection of luxury yachts and motorboats, enabling the elite clientele to embark on excursions or return to the villa with complete discretion, eliminating any waiting time and guaranteeing absolute privacy. Independent air conditioning in every room and modern technical facilities round off the overall comfort package.
