Villa Sul Lago DI Como Progettata Da Un Architetto Con Giardino Pianeggiante E Vista Panoramica Vicino A Cernobbio

Set in the hills above Cernobbio, this contemporary villa was designed to engage continuously with light, landscape and outdoor living.
Positioned on a beautifully exposed south-facing slope overlooking the first basin of Lake Como and the city of Como, the property combines modern functionality with architectural elements inspired by the traditional character of the lake.
The villa offers approximately 480 sqm of internal space on a terraced plot of around 1,600 sqm, with private outdoor areas distributed across multiple levels and connected directly to the living spaces.
What distinguishes the property is the quality of its spatial design.
Rather than separating the house from the surrounding landscape, the architecture was conceived to create a constant relationship between interior and exterior. Each level of the villa opens naturally onto terraces, garden areas or outdoor living spaces, creating a rare sense of continuity throughout the property.
The main living level is centred around a striking double-height living room with large openings toward the garden and panoramic lake views. Natural light enters throughout the day thanks to the southern exposure, while the generous proportions and direct outdoor access create a highly livable atmosphere suited both to everyday life and entertaining.
Adjacent to the living area are the kitchen and a bright circular entrance hall connecting the various levels of the home.
A substantial ancillary floor currently arranged as an open-plan tavern, laundry and cellar area offers additional flexibility rarely found in properties of this category. Thanks to its generous dimensions, ventilation and direct garden access potential, this space could easily evolve into an independent guest apartment, wellness area, private studio or leisure space.
The sleeping quarters occupy the upper floors.
The first floor includes two bedrooms, a bathroom and a spacious primary suite complete with private bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. All bedrooms enjoy open green views and direct visual connection toward the lake.
The top floor hosts an additional bedroom suite with private bathroom and access to two separate outdoor areas, including a terrace/solarium positioned to capture the panoramic setting and sunlight throughout the day.
The exterior spaces are equally compelling.
The flat lawned garden — increasingly rare on Lake Como hillside properties — is protected by natural hedges that preserve privacy while maintaining openness toward the surrounding scenery. The property also offers excellent potential for the development of a swimming pool in a secluded and sunny position not exposed to neighboring properties.
From a technical perspective, the villa has been exceptionally well maintained and upgraded over time.
Features include:
• underfloor heating throughout the property
• photovoltaic panels installed in 2023
• air conditioning with inverter system
• alarm and video surveillance systems
• wooden double-glazed windows with shutters
• heat pump and gas boiler system
• large internal garage for approximately three cars with direct access into the villa
The architectural language blends contemporary comfort with materials rooted in local tradition: natural stone details, sand-colored plaster, teak flooring, laminated wood roof structures and reclaimed terracotta roof tiles.
Only minutes from the lakefront, Como and the Swiss border, the villa represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a modern independent residence with privacy, flat outdoor spaces, panoramic exposure and flexible living volumes in one of Lake Como’s most established residential areas.
A property designed not simply to admire the landscape — but to live within it.
