Large village house with outbuildings, romantic courtyard, double garage, and direct access

This exceptional property, consisting of a total of 3 buildings, is located in the ”Nucleo,” the romantic village center of Gordola, a very popular and well-organized community on the west shore of Lake Maggiore.

Gordola offers all the conveniences for comfortable living with its perfect infrastructure of shops, services, schools, and public transport.

The ”Casa al Torchio” gets its name from the second oldest wine press in Ticino, which is still very well preserved in one of the buildings.
