Idyllic village house with outbuildings and beautifully "Sleeping Beauty Garden" in a beautiful quiet location

A small paradise in Ticino - perhaps soon your heart's home!

A charming village house with history, special architecture and a garden full of possibilities - embedded in the original beauty of the Ticino nature.

In the small, idyllic village Moleno, just about 8 km north of Bellinzona, a very special home awaits you. With its approximately 132 inhabitants, Moleno is the smallest municipality of the Ticino cantonal capital and has preserved its original, tranquil character.

The lovingly maintained, detached house is quietly located on the edge of the village, with a beautiful view of the well-kept surroundings and the surrounding mountain landscape.

A house with history and architectural charm

The property combines historical building fabric with contemporary architecture in a charming way. Originally consisting of three building parts from different epochs, the house was extended by a modern annex in 2010 as a prize-winning project by an architect and today harmoniously combines "old and new".

The annex houses the spacious, bright living area with dining space, library and direct access to the garden - a wonderful place to relax and be together.

A modern pellet stove supplies various rooms with radiators and partially also underfloor heating with warmth. Additionally, warm air is directed into the kitchen, whose exterior walls were insulated during the renovation. The hot water supply is provided by a private heat pump located in the garage with the corresponding boiler.

Coziness and individuality on different levels

The heart of the property is the large bright living room in the annex with wonderful ceiling height and exit into the garden. The underfloor heating and a heated bench (via the pellet stove) provide warmth even in the cool season. With its size, we have plenty of space here for the extensive library and various cozy seating areas.

The spacious kitchen has plenty of storage space and a traditional TIBA wood stove for cooking. In addition to the existing radiator and the pellet stove outlet in the living room, this special stove not only provides wonderful warmth but also an original cooking experience. A small gallery gives the room additional charm - an enchanting retreat, especially for children to read or dream.

The house currently has two bedrooms, one of them with a radiator. The second bedroom in the attic with a balcony is unheated and benefits from the rising heat from the living rooms.

Another special feature is the cozy fireplace room in the basement with separate exit. It invites you to atmospheric winter evenings and could be designed as an additional bedroom if needed.

The spacious, unheated bathroom was conceived as a small wellness area with shower, bathtub and sauna. A separate toilet with washbasin and small washing machine completes the equipment.

A garden in "Sleeping Beauty's sleep" with plenty of room for own ideas

The pretty garden is a small paradise for nature lovers. Mediterranean plants, various beds and the lawn area with the large gingko tree create a natural, relaxed atmosphere.

Particularly inviting is the vine-covered pergola on the idyllic granite wall with seating - a wonderful place for cozy hours outdoors. A water connection complements the garden offer.

The property is just waiting to be transformed back into a true paradise with new ideas and loving care.

Two additional rustici - room for new possibilities

The property also includes two separate, not yet fully developed rustici, which offer interesting usage/design possibilities, taking into account the building permits:

• Rustico 1: Former chicken coop, partially renovated and currently used as a storage room.
• Rustico 2: In raw condition, with corresponding development and design potential.

Parking & Co.

A garage that can be reached directly by car is currently used as a workshop, storage room and technical area for pellet storage and the heat pump with boiler (2026) for hot water supply. An additional parking space is available in front of the garage.

An additional, externally accessible cellar room with window and heating body offers additional space for future use.

Quiet living and yet well connected

Moleno combines original Ticino village life with proximity to the cantonal capital Bellinzona.

The bus stop with connections to Bellinzona and Biasca is within walking distance.

For daily needs, there is a bakery with a small food store in the neighboring Preonzo. Further shopping opportunities are offered by Coop and Denner in Claro, as well as the supermarkets and diverse services in Castione and Bellinzona.

Fulfill your dream of your own home in Ticino!

This special house is much more than a ordinary property. It is a place with history, character and a very own atmosphere - for people who love the original, appreciate individuality and enjoy further developing a home with their own ideas.

We would be happy to send you a detailed documentation and look forward to showing you this small paradise during a personal visit.

Feel warmly welcome in Moleno - perhaps you will find exactly the home you have been dreaming of for a long time.
