Charming House with Views of Lake Maggiore – Oggebbio

We are offering for sale in Oggebbio, in the picturesque hillside hamlet of Cadessino, a historic rural house dating back to the 19th century, set amidst lush greenery and tranquillity, just a few minutes from Lake Maggiore and the village centre. The property enjoys a sunny and secluded location, just 60 metres from the public car park and within easy reach of key amenities, including restaurants, pizzerias, a chemist’s, a post office and shops. Its elevated position offers a splendid panoramic view of the lake and the surrounding countryside.
The property is spread over two levels, covering a total area of approximately 250 square metres, and is surrounded by private grounds of around 1,500 square metres, part of which is used as an orchard. The living areas have been renovated over the years, preserving the property’s authentic character and highlighting original features such as the antique, decorated tiled floors and the wood-burning fireplaces. On the mezzanine floor there is a living room with a fireplace, a dining room with a second fireplace and newly laid parquet flooring, a bedroom, a study, a bespoke open-plan kitchen with direct access to the balcony overlooking the inner courtyard, and a guest bathroom. On the upper floor there are three bedrooms – two double and one single – all with access to the long panoramic balcony, as well as a bathroom with a shower, an extractor fan and a heated towel rail. The property is completed by two cellars and further ancillary rooms, including a woodshed, storage areas and utility rooms, some of which are still to be renovated and offer interesting opportunities for restoration and personalisation.
The house features independent natural gas heating with radiators, double-glazed wooden windows and doors, and bespoke fitted wardrobes. The large private plot, characterised by a high degree of privacy and unobstructed views over Lake Maggiore, is one of the property’s defining features. The property is ideal both as a main residence and as a second home for those wishing to live close to nature, in a peaceful setting yet well connected to amenities and the towns on the Piedmontese shore of the lake. The spacious interiors, four bedrooms, panoramic balconies and the property’s historic character make it particularly suitable for those seeking a detached house with ample outdoor space and the potential to further develop the areas still requiring restoration.
