Lake Como

Wonderful property for sale in an elevated position above Lake Como, just above the town center of Brunate. Built in 1892 for the Counts Crespi of Vaprio d'Adda, the villa is one of the first architectural masterpieces in the pre-liberty style of the area. Comprising multiple buildings, for a total of 1,300 square meters, within a charming park of centuries-old beech trees and precious plants covering 1.6 hectares, the entire property has undergone multiple conservative restoration interventions aimed at preserving the precious materials of the time, first in 2002 and more recently between 2019 and 2022. The property consists of a main villa of 500 square meters spread over four floors, a 320 square meter guest house, a 150 square meter gatehouse on two levels, a renovated 70 square meter ancient Lemon House, and a characteristic three-story tower. A greenhouse with a vegetable garden, a dilapidated building to be gutted and rebuilt, a restaurant, and a large garage complete this majestic property. In the upper part of the garden, there is a beautiful swimming pool area with a large heated natural stone pool, served by a bar structure, as well as a parking area protected by a removable glass canopy. The perfect internal park road network is guaranteed by pedestrian walkways that traverse its entire extension. There are two automated driveways, while there are five pedestrian entrances, located on all sides of this luxurious property for sale on Lake Como.
