Period Estate With Two Villas Near Lake Como

Just minutes from Como and the western shore of Lake Como, in the prestigious hillside setting of Cavallasca, a hamlet of San Fermo della Battaglia, this exclusive period estate of 700 sqm is arranged across a pair of independent stately villas. The property, featuring a garden of 700 sqm with century-old trees, a 20 sqm terrace, historic cellars and a garage, offers a total of six bedrooms, five bathrooms, reception rooms with a period fireplace and an attic billiard room.

The architectural layout, based on two separate residential units, ensures rare versatility of use, ideal both for those seeking a large principal residence with an annexe for guests or staff and for those wishing to dedicate one of the units to elite hospitality within easy reach of Lake Como and the Swiss border.

The principal villa, extending across 500 sqm of finely renovated classical elegance, offers bright and impressive reception spaces. The ground-floor living area is centred around a large reception room and a living room enhanced by a period stone fireplace, where decorated ceilings and fine flooring create a noble, welcoming atmosphere. The hi-tech kitchen with a striking glazed wall is designed to maintain a constant dialogue with the greenery of the park, flooding the interiors with natural light. This level includes discreet guest bathrooms and direct access to the extensive historic cellars on the lower-ground floor, an ideal setting for storing private wine collections.

The upper floors of the principal residence contain a private sleeping area offering the utmost comfort. The spaces include three spacious principal bedrooms and a master suite with a bespoke walk-in wardrobe, enhanced by direct access to a 20 sqm terrace overlooking the inner garden. The top floor of the villa hosts an evocative attic with exposed timber beams, home to an elegant billiard room dedicated to private leisure and entertaining guests. The entire principal residence combines the historic value of its original architectural features with modern systems and bathrooms finished in fine materials.

Set independently from the main building is the secondary villa, conceived to the same standards of quality and aesthetics. The structure features a bright living room with direct access to the park, a liveable kitchen, two bedrooms, a study and two bathrooms, providing a self-contained and private solution for family, friends or household staff. The outdoor spaces surround the buildings with a manicured lawn, gravel paths and mature botanical specimens. The property is completed by ancillary structures including a woodshed, historic cellars and a garage with ample internal parking spaces, ensuring the utmost logistical convenience for residents.
