Description
Immerse yourself in the history of the first stone houses built in Ticino, the typical Rustici. On these three sun-drenched plots totaling 929 m², you'll find a Rustico and a main house dating back to 1743. The Rustico includes a total of 4 rooms: on the ground floor, two connected rooms that can be used as an office, studio, or bedroom. An external staircase leads to the upper floor with another room. On the same level, with a separate entrance, there is an additional room.
The main house features a studio apartment with kitchen, shower/WC, a room with fireplace, a utility room with washer/dryer, and a pergola with a romantic seating area.
A stone staircase leads to the upper 3.5-room apartment, comprising an entrance hall, shower/WC, a kitchen with fireplace, and a dining room. An internal staircase leads to the veranda with access to two more rooms — one with a WC and one with a balcony and lake view.
There is potential to create several parking spaces on the building land.
With its charming and unique character, this property offers many cozy spots to relax – whether it's from the outdoor jacuzzi, the various terraces, or the garden. Enjoy breathtaking views of the lake and the mountains. The buildings are waiting for people to bring them to life with a fresh new shine.
Situation
Brione sopra Minusio is located on the southern slope above Minusio, about 4 kilometers northeast of Locarno. The old village center has been preserved in the traditional Ticino style, while many villas and holiday homes have been built in its prime locations. It boasts a panoramic position overlooking Lake Maggiore and enjoys a mild climate thanks to its sunny exposure and the protection offered by the surrounding mountains.
The village is known for its traditional Ticinese houses, with stone facades and slate roofs that give Brione a rustic and authentic charm. Narrow, winding alleys invite you to explore the historic center, where you'll discover old lanes, decorative fountains, and cozy little squares.
One of the main attractions in Brione sopra Minusio is the Church of San Bernardo, a medieval religious building featuring frescoes and artworks of great historical and artistic value. The panoramic view from the church offers a spectacular vista of the lake and surrounding mountains, making this place particularly captivating.
