This beautifully renovated Rustico with a large garden is located in a very quiet and sunny location above the village center in a forest clearing.

The house was completely renovated in 1998 and presents itself in a clear, simple structure with warm, natural materials. Natural stone and wood characterize the interior and emphasize the original character.

A wood stove provides cozy warmth, and the power supply is supplemented by photovoltaics. An internet connection (via cable) is also available.

On the ground floor, there is a living kitchen with a fireplace and bathroom. On the first floor, there is a living or bedroom, and on the second floor, the attic, which can be used as a bedroom, studio, or otherwise.

The 3501m² large property is oriented south and offers a free view of the surrounding mountain and lake landscape. The location is extremely quiet, without street noise, and directly connected to a extensive hiking area.

The mild Ticino climate allows a long vegetation period; a biological vegetable garden was maintained for several years.

The property can be reached on foot in about 20 minutes from the parking lot. A private rental parking space and public parking facilities are available.

Despite the quiet location, the connection is good: Locarno and Lake Maggiore can be reached in about 10-15 minutes, Bellinzona in about 20 minutes. Public transport is available.

The place can be used as both a primary and secondary residence.

This place is suitable for people who want to connect nature, simplicity, and modern work - a retreat for peace and a life in their own rhythm.
