Prestigious Charming Estate With Park, Guest Maisonette And Development Potential In Breganzona

In the greenery and privacy of Lugano-Breganzona, in a dominant hillside position surrounded by vineyards, lies Horatius Home: a residence with historical character and timeless elegance, designed for those seeking serenity, spacious volumes, and maximum privacy just steps from the center of Lugano. The estate rests on a private park of 5,177 m² (of which approximately 1,300–1,450 m² is buildable/complementary zone) and consists of a main residence, an independent maisonette used as a vacation home, and a large rural wing to be enhanced. The Main Residence (Unit A - approx. 256 m² living space + accessories): Characterized by a Tuscan red-style façade and a sumptuous entrance portal with the classical inscription ”Bene tibi, bene amicis”, the main villa combines period charm with maximum modern comfort (completely renovated between 2007 and 2016). The living area on the ground floor welcomes with glossy marble floors, coffered ceilings, artistic stained glass windows, and a sculptural contemporary fireplace. The gourmet kitchen is a professional stainless steel structure equipped with a central island and an elegant integrated wine cellar, as well as a monumental panoramic window framing the hills. The sleeping area on the first floor offers 3 large bedrooms adorned with herringbone parquet floors, exposed wooden beam ceilings, a study/library, and a luxurious en-suite wellness oasis in marble with a freestanding whirlpool tub, walk-in shower, and 3 dedicated full bathrooms. The Guest Unit / Guest Maisonette (Unit B - approx. 178 m² living space): A completely independent and finely renovated 4.5-room residential unit. Spread over two levels, it includes an open space with kitchen/living room, lounge, 3 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms (including guest WC). Perfect for hosting family members with maximum autonomy or for generating income as a successful boutique holiday home. The Rural Wing to be Enhanced (Former Barn and Hayloft - approx. 500 m²): A volume of about 500 m² with great charm featuring exposed beams and original masonry, offering extraordinary transformation potential. This space is suitable for the creation of an exclusive indoor SPA/wellness area, private garage with ample capacity, atelier, or additional residential spaces. The basement houses large cellars, modern technical rooms, and a connecting elevator. The surrounding park offers flat areas with English lawn, mature high-quality plantings (cypress trees, palms, tall trees), and total acoustic isolation. There is the possibility of creating an outdoor swimming pool. The generous roof area (approximately 400 m²) also allows for the installation of a high-yield photovoltaic system. The property is not subject to the LDFR and can therefore be purchased by foreign citizens not residing in Switzerland. Currently registered as a primary residence, it can be designated as a secondary residence upon approval from the competent authorities.
