Located on a hilltop overlooking the lake of Varese, in the village of Oltrona al Lago, we are proud to offer on sale a majestic estate formed by several detached houses, immersed in a 25’000 square meters park, with private access to a vast lemon house and to the lake, complete with a great wine cellar and several other features.
The estate, to be renovated, has a great historical and noble background, as the several coats of arms confirm.
The main villa, built during the 17th century, is for sure of great historical interest and some of its ancient features are protected by the Fine Arts department of Italy.
This property, surely vast and prestigious enough to attract a sophisticated, international clientele, holds one of the best positions on the Lakeside and it is amazingly well connected to Varese, Milan, Lake Maggiore and Switzerland.
The main works required in order to bring this glorious mansion back at its best, include general maintenance, upgrade of pool area, update of energy class and further isolation from the lakeside street connecting Varese to the Lake Maggiore. The lemon house, surely one of the most recognizable elements of this property, needs renovation too.
As one of the eldest and best-known houses in our region, we strongly believe that once renovated, this quintessential estate will set in a league of her own in terms of prestige, location and privacy.
Thanks to its breathtaking lakeside view and structure, divided into several buildings, this property could result of particular interest for investors willing to open a luxury hotel, SPA or resort, granting to their customers a total immersion in the atmosphere of our seven lakes region and a private access to the water.
Location:
The city of Varese stands at 10 minutes by car. The lake is 3 minutes away by walk and can be reached by a private tunnel passing underneath the street. Lake Maggiore is 15/20 minutes away, Lake Orta 25 minutes away by car. The entrance to the highway connecting Varese to Como, Milan, Busto Arsizio and Gallarate, is 5 minutes away by car and enables a smooth and quick drive to these cities, all reachable within 45 minutes. Lugano is 60 minutes away; Swiss boarder is 20 minutes away.
History of Varese:
The city is the capital of the Prealps region. Thanks to its position, it offers a gentler climate compared to Milan and for this reason, from the 18th century on, it has literally been colonized by the wealthiest Milanese family willing to spend here their time off. The province of Varese is characterized by the presence of 7 lakes and by the proximity with Switzerland and the Alps. Several of the best examples of Liberty style architecture in the whole Italy, are located within this area. Nowadays, Varese is still very much a hidden gem to international tourism, even if it offers several UNESCO heritages sites, including the breathtaking Sacro Monte (Holy Mountain). The international tourism in this area, is trending at the moment, thanks to the increased visibility given by the renowned European School, granting a multi-lingual tuition of the highest level . Varese has always been one of the best-connected cities in Italy as the fact that the first highway in the nation (Milano-Varese) was opened here a hundred years ago, greatly testifies. Furthermore, the international airport of Milan Malpensa (MXP) is indeed in the province of Varese and it is easily reachable with a 25 minutes drive form the city center.
