Set directly on the shores of the iconic Lake Como, this rare pied-dans-l’eau villa embodies the quiet elegance and effortless sophistication of 1960s Italian architecture. Located in a serene and private setting, the property offers direct access to the water, a private boathouse with a covered dock, and an expansive flat garden that stretches seamlessly to the lake’s edge.
The villa is arranged on a single, fully level floor and offers exceptional potential to blend original charm with contemporary luxury. A gracious entrance opens into an impressively large living and dining area, enhanced by floor-to-ceiling windows framing sweeping views over the lake. From here, French doors lead to a generous panoramic terrace—ideal for al fresco dining or tranquil lakeside lounging, accompanied by the gentle rhythm of lapping waves.
A separate, fully equipped kitchen provides ample space for modern living. The sleeping quarters include two bedrooms and one bathroom, with the master bedroom enjoying direct lake views—a feature that epitomizes the privileged location of the home.
Adjacent to the main villa is a charming detached annex with distinctive arched windows, currently used as a storage and tool house, complete with an existing bathroom. With minimal renovation, this space could be transformed into an elegant guest house or studio retreat.
Next to the annex lies the jewel of the property: a private, covered darsena featuring an automatic boat lift system and a large launch ramp with a small pier—an unparalleled amenity for boating enthusiasts.
Completing the property is a covered private parking area accommodating two to three vehicles, along with additional guest parking.
While fully livable, the villa invites tasteful renovation, offering the opportunity to modernize while preserving its authentic soul. With generous interior spaces, including the option to easily add a third bedroom and second bathroom, the layout offers flexibility for both private use or refined entertaining.
This is a rare opportunity to own a lakeside jewel—where the water is at your doorstep, the garden rolls gently to the shore, and every sunset over the lake is yours to enjoy.
Nestled in the prestigious Italian Lake District, Menaggio offers an enviable lifestyle with its captivating lake views, proximity to Lake Como’s luxurious marinas, and charming Italian villages. Enjoy gourmet dining, upscale shopping, and cultural attractions nearby. The area provides seamless access to recreational activities in nature and is within reach of major airports and international schools, making it ideal for both leisure and long-term residence.
