Description

Located two miles away from Stresa’s historic center, Villa La Sacca is a beautiful lakefront building nestled among nearly two acres of a century-old park.

This extraordinary property boasts meticulously designed outdoor spaces, including a large pool, pergolas, fruit orchards, and meticulously restored sheds and original structures.

The villa complex comprises the main house, spanning a total area of 675 square meters, distributed across the ground floor, first and second floors, and a spacious attic. Additionally, situated approximately 30 meters away is an 88 square meter guesthouse.

Respecting the architectural heritage of the building, Villa La Sacca has undergone a complete redesign and rebuild, optimizing available space while maximizing the stunning views of the lake and surrounding century-old park.

Featuring wide glass doors and open spaces, the interior exudes a spatial quality and lightness rarely found in historic properties. Outdoor areas have been redesigned and enhanced with patios, terraces, garden beds, solariums, and pools, seamlessly integrated with the existing park to enhance its unique and irreplaceable qualities.

Benefiting from spring water from nearby mountains, the property features a geothermal project that utilizes heat pumps for heating and cooling systems within the villa. This innovative approach combines historical charm with modern comfort, offering a luxurious living experience that surpasses expectations.

Upon entering the villa’s main floor, you are greeted by generous living and dining spaces, a fully equipped kitchen separated by a glazed wall, a separate living and media room, and a spacious office with a full bathroom. The staircase and lift provide access to the second floor, featuring two double bedrooms, a master suite with a separate study and bathroom, and a versatile attic space.

On the ground floor, a separate guest apartment offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living space with an open kitchen. The guesthouse, originally an old vehicle shed, has been beautifully restored and offers a bedroom, walk-in closet, bathroom, and storage/laundry room, providing complete independence from the main villa.

Designed for maximum energy efficiency and comfort, the villa features a low-temperature floor heating system, supplemented by a dehumidification system and infrared bathroom panels for additional heating. Each floor boasts a fireplace, contributing to both atmosphere and water heating, while an energy-efficient heat pump system offers options for heating the outdoor and indoor pools.

The villa’s technological features include home automation for climate control and security, ensuring convenience and peace of mind. Remote access via mobile apps allows for easy management of all features, including those in the guesthouse.

Conveniently located less than an hour’s drive from Milan and 40 minutes from Milano Malpensa Intercontinental Airport, the villa enjoys easy access to both domestic and international destinations.
