Retreat in a class of its own

Imagine starting your day with a fragrant cup of espresso and the morning sun bathing Lake Maggiore in a golden light ...... 

We offer you a rarity with sensational views. The luxurious villa with separate rustico stands on a spacious plot with absolute privacy and is surrounded by greenery between Ronco sopra Ascona and Ascona, not visible from the outside! It is absolutely unique on this hillside location.

The property consists of two connected plots of 2,500 m2 with the main house and 1,100 m2 with a small rustico. There are 3 outdoor parking spaces at street level and a further 2 indoor parking spaces accessible via a hydraulic elevator. A modern panoramic lift with stops for both properties takes you conveniently to the entrance of the house.

The main house, which dates back to 1957, underwent a comprehensive core renovation and extension in 2023. It offers space for family and guests and will also delight future generations. Old granite structures were retained and combined with new components so that the old charm was preserved. This exceptional property now has all the necessary technical equipment such as a heat pump for the house and pool, new water, electricity and electrical connections, new connections to the sewage system, new wet rooms, teak floors and ceilings, SPA with steam bath and sauna. All windows have been renewed as well as the outdoor area and the fitness room. The kitchen was extensively transformed into a modern, professionally equipped granite kitchen, which now comes into its own in the new tower-style living and dining area extension. On the first floor of the main house is the master bedroom with a spacious bathroom with sauna. The open-plan living room is spacious and has a fireplace. From the dining table you have an incomparable view of Lake Maggiore.

On the lower floor, which can be reached via a staircase, there are further bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, the wine cellar and the laundry room. The wine cellar is fitted with elegant teak shelving and can store up to 1000 bottles of your wines. 

The small rustico can be replaced by another villa or converted into two apartments with primary residence.

A Garden of Eden

The property comprises several landscaped terraces with a beautiful, Mediterranean-style, well-tended garden with fruits such as kiwi, lemons, olives, mandarins, oranges, apples, pears and grapes. The garden has been tended and cared for by the same gardener for 30 years and he would continue to look after it. A special lawn irrigation system, audio system and lighting put everything in the right light.

The new 8 x 4 meter saltwater pool, heated all year round by the heat pump with counter-current system and remote control, is surrounded by a granite terrace. This relaxation zone is rounded off by the pool house with an outdoor kitchen and large barbecue area.
