Melide: Traditional "Terra Cielo" House With Grotto

In the heart of the picturesque town center of Melide, we are offering for sale a three-story house, a property rich in potential that combines the charm of traditional Ticino architecture with the flexibility of a living space suited to a variety of needs.

The property is currently divided into two independent apartments, one on the first floor and one on the second, which can easily be combined by modifying the connecting doors, creating a single, generously sized home. This layout is particularly appealing for large families, households wishing to live close together while maintaining their independence, or for those seeking a home they can customize over time.

On the ground floor there are two cellars and two characteristic “grottini”—spaces with an authentic charm that offer various possibilities for use, ideal as storage rooms, spaces dedicated to hobbies, or areas to celebrate Ticino’s traditions.

The first floor houses a three-bedroom apartment with a study, a bathroom, a living room, and a kitchen-dining area. Several modernization projects have already been completed on this level, including the renovation of the flooring, bathrooms, and kitchen, resulting in updated and functional living spaces.

The second floor features a similar layout, with three bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room, and a kitchen-dining area. Unlike the floor below, there is no study, but the spaces retain a versatile layout, suitable for both a family and independent living.

An additional practical feature is the stairlift already installed, which facilitates access to the home’s various levels.
Melide is a town particularly prized for its location on the shores of Lake Lugano, its picturesque lakeside promenade, and its proximity to major road and rail connections. The town offers a pleasant living environment, with amenities and transportation links that allow for easy access to Lugano and Mendrisio.

Thanks to its layout, the spaces distributed across multiple levels, and the possibility of combining the two apartments, this property represents an attractive opportunity for those seeking a home with character, to be adapted to their own living or family needs.

A versatile solution, ideal for those seeking a property with ample space and multiple uses, capable of combining the independence of two apartments with the potential of a large single-family home.
