Lake Como, Cremia | Charming 18th-Century Stone Monastery, Beautifully Restored with Exceptional Attention to Detail, Spectacular Lake Views and Private Garden – Two Independent Residences

A rare property full of history and charm, situated in an elevated, panoramic position with breathtaking views of Lake Como, just a 10-minute walk from the lake. We are delighted to offer for sale this remarkable 18th-century stone farmhouse, historically associated with a Dominican monk, comprising two completely independent residences.

Entirely restored in 2011 with exceptional care by the current Danish owners, the property has preserved its authentic historical character through the meticulous restoration of the original exposed stone walls, wooden ceiling beams, antique fireplaces and period architectural details, creating elegant, welcoming and surprisingly bright interiors.

The Main Residence – The Charm of the Historic Monastery
The main residence has a cadastral floor area of approximately 160 sqm, plus an attic of approximately 40 sqm, and is arranged over two levels. The entrance is through a beautifully restored original antique door, opening into an elegant glass-enclosed entrance hall.
The spacious living area features a charming sitting room with an original antique stone fireplace and exposed wooden ceiling beams, a dining area and an adjoining kitchen. Three large French doors open towards the lake and onto a characteristic stone balcony, offering spectacular views of Lake Como. This level also includes a bedroom and a bathroom.
Upstairs, the beautiful master bedroom features wooden flooring and two large semicircular openings, distinctive architectural elements reflecting the building’s monastic origins. The bedroom leads onto a panoramic terrace of approximately 10 sqm, offering wonderful views across the lake. This floor also includes an elegant bathroom with a bathtub overlooking the lake, as well as an accessible attic.

The Second Independent Apartment
Located on the ground floor, with direct access to the beautiful, level private garden, the second independent residence has a cadastral floor area of 94 sqm. Also completely restored, it retains its original exposed stone walls and charming historical features.
The accommodation comprises a bright open-plan living and dining area with kitchen, featuring two French doors opening directly onto the garden, two spacious double bedrooms, one overlooking the garden, and a large bathroom featuring a beautiful original vaulted stone ceiling.
The property also includes a characteristic cellar with independent access from the municipal pedestrian lane.

The Private Garden and Outdoor Spaces
One of the property’s most appealing features is its beautiful, level private garden of approximately 80 sqm, enjoying magnificent open views of Lake Como. Accessible through two separate entrance gates, the garden provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining, relaxation and enjoying the exceptional lake views.
The outdoor area also includes two small ancillary rooms, currently used as a laundry room and a tool storage room, together with a practical outdoor summer shower.

Just a 10-Minute Walk from the Lake – The Authentic Charm of a Historic Village
The property is situated within a picturesque historic village that has preserved the timeless atmosphere and traditional character of Lake Como. Cremia beach is easily reached via a convenient pedestrian path of approximately 500 metres, leading down to the lake.
Access to the property is exclusively on foot, along the charming public pedestrian lanes of the village. Three public parking areas are available approximately 50–100 metres from the property.

A Unique Property – Also an Excellent Investment Opportunity
The presence of two completely independent residences represents a significant additional advantage, making this property ideal not only as an exclusive private residence or holiday home, but also as an attractive real estate investment for holiday rentals, with the possibility of managing the two apartments separately.
Its spectacular panoramic position, proximity to the lake and beaches, authentic historical architecture and exceptional restoration quality make this property particularly appealing to international buyers seeking a distinctive historic residence on Lake Como.

Furniture and Equipment
The property is sold furnished, with carefully selected furniture personally chosen by the current owners to complement the building’s historic architecture and create a unique, welcoming atmosphere.
