Idyllisches Dorfhaus Mit Nebengebäuden Und Wunderschönem "Dornröschen Garten" In Schöner Ruhelage

A little paradise in Ticino – perhaps soon your special place!

A charming village house with history, unique architecture, and a garden full of possibilities – nestled in the pristine beauty of Ticino’s nature.

In the small, idyllic village of Moleno, just about 8 km north of Bellinzona, awaits a very special home. With around 132 inhabitants, Moleno is the smallest district of the Ticino cantonal capital and has preserved its original, tranquil character.

The lovingly maintained, detached house is quietly located on the edge of the village, offering beautiful views of the well-kept surroundings and the surrounding mountain landscape.

A house with history and architectural charm

The property charmingly combines historic building fabric with contemporary architecture. Originally consisting of three building parts from different eras, the house was extended in 2010 with a modern annex designed by an award-winning architect, harmoniously blending ”old and new” today.

The annex houses the spacious, light-filled living area with dining space, library, and direct access to the garden – a wonderful place to relax and gather.

A modern pellet stove heats various rooms via radiators and partly underfloor heating. Additionally, warm air is directed into the kitchen, whose exterior walls were insulated during the renovation. The hot water supply is provided by its own heat pump, located with the corresponding boiler in the garage.

Cozy comfort and individuality on different levels

The heart of the property is the large bright living room in the annex with wonderful ceiling height and access to the garden. The underfloor heating and a heated bench (via the pellet stove) provide warmth even in the cooler seasons. Its size offers plenty of space for the extensive library and various cozy seating areas.

The spacious eat-in kitchen offers ample storage and a traditional TIBA wood stove used for cooking. Alongside the existing radiator and the pellet stove outlet in the living room, this special stove not only provides wonderful warmth but also an authentic cooking experience. A small gallery adds extra charm to the room – a magical retreat especially for children to read or dream.

The house currently has two bedrooms, one of which has a radiator. The second bedroom in the attic with a balcony is unheated but benefits from the rising warmth from the living areas.

Another special feature is the cozy fireplace room in the basement with a separate exit. It invites atmospheric winter evenings and could if needed also be used as an additional bedroom.

The spacious, unheated bathroom was designed as a small wellness area with a shower, bathtub, and sauna. A separate toilet with a sink and a small washing machine completes the facilities.

A garden in ”Sleeping Beauty” slumber with plenty of room for your own ideas

The pretty garden is a little paradise for nature lovers. Mediterranean plants, various beds, and the lawn area with the large ginkgo tree create a natural, relaxed atmosphere.

Especially inviting is the grapevine-covered pergola by the idyllic granite wall with seating set – a wonderful spot for cozy hours outdoors. A water connection complements the garden amenities.

The property eagerly awaits new ideas and loving care to become a true paradise again.

Two additional Rustici – space for new possibilities

The property also includes two separate, not yet fully developed Rustici, offering interesting usage and design opportunities subject to building permits:

• Rustico 1: Former chicken coop, partially renovated and currently used as storage.
• Rustico 2: In raw condition, with corresponding potential for expansion and design.

Parking & more

A garage accessible directly by car is currently used as a workshop, storage, and technical area for pellet storage and the heat pump with boiler ([hidden information]) for hot water supply. An additional parking space is available in front of the garage.

Another cellar room accessible from outside with a window and radiator offers extra space for future use.

Quiet living yet well connected

Moleno combines authentic Ticino village life with proximity to the cantonal capital Bellinzona.

The bus stop with connections to Bellinzona and Biasca is within walking distance.

For daily needs, there is a bakery with a small grocery store in neighboring Preonzo. Further shopping options include Coop and Denner in Claro as well as supermarkets and various services in Castione and Bellinzona.
