Exclusive Pieds-dans-l'eau Apartment On Lake Como

In one of the most enchanting spots by Lake Como, in Carate Urio, an elegant luxury apartment is for sale on the ground floor of a magnificent 18th-century villa overlooking the water. The property, which has recently undergone careful restoration to enhance its original architecture, covers approximately 195 sqm of interior space, plus 900 sqm of garden, divided between the green space in front of the residence and a refined waterfront garden. The estate, which combines historical charm and contemporary comfort, also offers a private boat mooring and three convenient parking spaces, for an absolutely exclusive living experience.

The setting in which this estate is located is one of the most sought-after and peaceful on the western branch of Lake Como, just a few kilometres from the centre of Como and on the border with the most renowned resorts on the lake. Carate Urio is famous for its historic villas, small stone piers, crystal clear waters and lush vegetation that frames every view. The refined and secluded village is well connected to both Como and Cernobbio and is less than an hour from Milan. An ideal location for those who want to live in the tranquillity of nature without sacrificing the services and cultural events of the Como area.

The 18th-century villa in which the apartment is located is a rare example of noble lakeside architecture. The sober lines of the façade, the ancient vaults, and the skilfully restored period materials, such as exposed stone and fine wood floors, restore the authentic charm of aristocratic Lombard residences. The renovation has preserved the historic soul of the building, integrating it with contemporary finishes of the highest quality and state-of-the-art systems.

The main entrance leads into a spacious living room bathed in natural light, where the dining area interacts with a cosy relaxation area overlooking the garden. The big windows facing the lake capture the beauty of the landscape in every season, creating a continuous connection with the outside. The central hallway, equipped with custom-made wardrobes, leads to the sleeping area, consisting of two refined double bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms, vaulted ceilings and original architectural details. A third bathroom, intended for guests, completes the living area.

The exteriors of this property represent a true extension of everyday living. In front of the house is a first private garden of about 800 sqm, well-kept and planted, ideal for outdoor breakfasts or moments of relaxation in total tranquillity. From here, you can access a second garden facing the lake, measuring approximately 100 sqm, which leads to the exclusive private mooring, an increasingly rare feature on Lake Como. The property is completed by three private parking spaces, totalling 47 square metres. The secluded residential setting guarantees privacy and tranquillity all year round.

Buying this property means choosing a lifestyle suspended between elegance and natural beauty, between history and modernity. The open view of the lake, the possibility of mooring your boat a few steps from the living room, and direct access to nature and silence make this estate a perfect retreat for those seeking harmony, privacy and beauty in one of the most fascinating landscapes in Europe. Just a few minutes from Cernobbio, lively Como, gourmet restaurants and the wellness centres of the most exclusive villas on the lake, this residence is the ideal starting point for discovering the timeless magic of Lake Como.
