We offer for sale a large period villa in Ghiffa, boasting extraordinary panoramic views of Lake Maggiore, Stresa and Mount Mottarone. The property is completely restored and ready to live. 

Built in its original core at the beginning of the 19th century and extended in the 1950s, the property is located in a residential and private natural setting, in a hilly panoramic area just 10 minutes from the center of Verbania, 20 minutes from the Fondotoce railway station, and one hour from the Val d’Ossola mountains, home to major ski resorts and thermal spas.

The villa, for a total of ten rooms (three bedrooms), is arranged over two above-ground levels, with a total surface area of approximately 340 square meters. The property faces south-west and enjoys wonderful natural light from dawn to dusk throughout the year. 

The attic, offering an additional 40 square meters, can easily be converted into living space and connected to the third floor of the house.With two possible access points, the spacious main entrance opens onto a bright eat-in kitchen, a dining area (with fireplace), and a large living room with a second fireplace, a pantry, and a balcony. The living area is completed by a bathroom with shower. From the kitchen and dining room, there is access to a stone terrace and to the stairs leading down to the garden, the pool area and the ground floor of the building, which features a study with bathroom and fireplace, a large laundry room, and a cellar equipped with ample built-in shelving. From the entrance, a stone staircase leads to the upper floors, where there is a large walk-in wardrobe, three bedrooms (all with balconies overlooking the lake), and a distinctive bathroom with bath tub created within a veranda.

The villa stands within a large, landscaped garden of about 900 square meters, planted with typical lake species and fruit trees. Completing the property are a scenic stone-built swimming pool with local stone edges, a private spring, and a plot of land (150 square meters) near the public parking area serving the house, which can be used as a vegetable garden or converted into two private parking spaces.

A long-time artists’ residence, the villa features a lot of quality materials such as the Genovese marble sink in the kitchen, original Cementine tile floors, larch parquet and Bisazza mosaics. A number of improvements have recently been carried out on the property, including the renovation of the pool cladding, the replacement of the boiler and the refurbishment of the façades.

Ghiffa is a picturesque lakeside village located just two kilometers from Verbania, a town offering numerous services (shops, typical restaurants, boat service that connects the whole of Lake Maggiore, library, theater, hospital) and excellent connections to Milan, making the villa an ideal base even during trade fairs, Fashion Week and Salone del Mobile/Design Week. The Swiss border is about 20 km from Ghiffa, just under half an hour by car.
