Art-nouveau Villa With A 62-hectare Park On Varese's Hills
Magnificent Neoclassic-Art-Nouveau style estate with annexes overlooking Lake Varese
Estate with 62 hectares of park, forest, a pool, a tennis court and a helipad for sale between Italy and Switzerland
This wonderful villa for sale in an enviable position on Varese's hills is one of the most charming examples of Neoclassic-Art-Nouveau buildings with a park protected by the Italian Fine Arts office.
This property, full of historical charm, is made up of the main house, its appurtenances and five outbuildings, for a total internal surface area of 5,665 sqm. The setting is the marvelous one of a hilly and flat park of 62 hectares - to guarantee the most absolute privacy -, in which expanses of fields alternate with forests populated by centuries-old trees in a scenographic game of perspective. Here there is an ornamental garden expertly designed and embellished with numerous sculptures, a tennis court, a swimming pool served by a kiosk with changing rooms, some helicopter landing pads located in the park, greenhouses and nurseries.
The high position in which the estate stands, at the foot of the Alps, guarantees a wonderful panoramic view of the nearby lake of Varese and the Monte Rosa chain. Its breathtaking surrounding landscape, characterized by hills and lakes, is in fact typical of Insubria, a border region between northern Italy and southern Switzerland which boasts proximity to two major airports such as Milan Malpensa and Lugano.
The main house in a Neoclassical-Liberty style is a four-storey building with a lift that covers an area of approximately 4,000 sqm, comprising a total of 54 rooms, 27 corridors, 4 kitchens – one on each level – 22 bathrooms, a cellar, a gym with a sauna and various technical rooms.
The main hall, bound by the Fine Arts, features numerous embellishments that also recur in the other rooms, ensuring an exceptional stay. Among these we find mosaic floors, parquet, onyx fireplaces, sculptures, frescoes, crystal chandeliers, armored knights, coffered ceilings and paintings.
The south-east wing of this three-story building has a three-sided internal patio, reached via a long staircase and surrounded by a cross-vaulted portico facing the outdoor pool area. The north-west side with 4 floors emerges from the first with a structure with two towers connected on the top floor by a corridor and a front terrace overlooking the ornamental garden below and a big terrace embellished by two fountains and a monumental staircase.
Separated from the main villa but not isolated, a beautiful farm is used as a home with several outbuildings, suitable for horse training and riding stables. An independent annex, thanks to its strategic location for monitoring access, could be used as the caretaker's house.
This marvelous Art Nouveau building with its huge park represents an authentic jewel for sale on the outskirts of Varese both for its large size and for the characteristics of the landscape, as well as for the strategic location in which it is positioned, convenient for reaching the most renowned locations along the shores of Lake Maggiore.
