Period Villa With Pool On The Lombardy Shore Of Lake Maggiore

This exclusive period residence stands on the Lombardy shore of Lake Maggiore, set on the panoramic cliff of Ispra with a 280-degree view stretching from the Borromean Islands to the Piedmont shore. The villa, a 478 sqm structure built on the remains of an ancient 19th-century lime kiln, stands out for its iconic octagonal layout and frescoed ceilings. The outdoor spaces extend across 4.000 sqm of level garden with a tree-lined park and a striking swimming pool with solarium. The property includes five bedrooms, six bathrooms, spacious reception rooms with fireplace, a study with library, an octagonal kitchen and two monumental panoramic terraces. The main residence is complemented by an independent accommodation for caretaking staff and covered private parking for four cars. A property of rare historical and scenic charm, just thirty minutes from Milan Malpensa Airport.

The villa's architecture pays tribute to Ispra's historic heritage, reinterpreting the spaces of the ancient kiln with high-quality finishes, wooden flooring, double-glazed windows and perfectly preserved period details. The ground floor features a striking octagonal reception room with frescoed ceilings, dining area, sitting room and ornamental fireplace, alongside a private study with fitted library. The sleeping area on this level includes four spacious air-conditioned double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, including a refined octagonal master bedroom with direct access to the park and a master bathroom with whirlpool bath. Outside, the floor is completed by two service bathrooms and an evocative underground wine cellar for wine storage.

Elegant internal and external staircases covered in climbing jasmine lead to the first floor, designed to celebrate outdoor living and lake views. This level features a spacious octagonal kitchen with dining table, directly connected to the upper outdoor areas. The villa boasts two large panoramic terraces overlooking the lake, including a main terrace enhanced by an elegant pergola, ideal for private lunches and receptions, and a second terrace offering privileged views over the residence's octagonal roofs and Isola Madre. In a private wing of the building, with its own entrance, is the fifth bedroom with bathroom for the caretakers, ensuring maximum security and day-to-day management.

The 4.000 sqm park surrounds the residence in a setting of complete privacy, extending across a meticulously maintained, fully enclosed level lawn, centuries-old trees, rose arches and a small citrus grove. Within the park, a short distance from the villa, stands the irregularly shaped 15x6-metre swimming pool with diving board and night lighting, surrounded by a stone and lawn solarium furnished with sunbeds, deckchairs and parasols. The outdoor spaces offer a fully equipped barbecue area with covered relaxation areas facing the water. The property is completed by covered private parking for four vehicles and its proximity to a private boating mooring, just three minutes away by car.
