Casatenovo, Lecco (province)

The splendid villa is located in Casatenovo (LC), easily accessible from Milan, which is only 30/35 km away to the northeast. Situated within a community of 34 villas, the property is nestled in a park of over seven hectares adorned with dozens of century-old and fruit trees.
The captivating villa, built in the 1970s, was completely renovated in 1998 by the current owner. Thanks to careful maintenance, it is now in excellent condition both internally and externally.
The marvelous property comprises a grand main villa of approximately 1,000 sqm, a charming annex, an octagonal building of around 300 sqm, a spacious 160 sqm garage, which has been used as a showroom for vintage cars, a spectacular swimming pool, a tennis court, a bocce court, a delightful greenhouse, and a convenient tool shed.
Inside the main villa, spread over two levels and located on the upper part of the land, the large windows and various terraces, porticoes, and courtyards create a perfect fusion between the indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing one to admire the magnificent greenery of the majestic century-old trees.
On the upper garden floor of nearly 600 sqm, you will find the entire living and sleeping area, in addition to the kitchen and ancillary spaces.
The living area consists of a spacious entrance, a prestigious main living room, a refined separate television area, a spacious study, a generous dining room that accommodates a luxurious table for 14 people, and an elegant guest bathroom.
The kitchen serves both the formal dining room, the family dining area, and the magnificent veranda, a covered space of 40 sqm overlooking the wonderful garden.
In the sleeping area, in addition to the luxurious master bedroom with its exclusive boudoir, spacious wardrobe, and private bathroom, there are three more suites, each with an intimate sitting area and private bathroom.
The guest apartment, the spacious billiard room with an additional bathroom, the large tavern, a fitness and spa area consisting of a gym, a Turkish bath, a sauna, and a shower, are located on the lower garden level, facing the magnificent pool. Additionally, there are accommodations for staff, a laundry room, a pantry, and a cellar, as well as technical rooms and a secure safe room.
The charming annex features an independent 148 sqm apartment with an elegant living room, a modern kitchen, two spacious bedrooms, and two bathrooms.
The luxurious 19-meter-long swimming pool offers a large solarium with changing rooms and fully equipped shower facilities.
The magnificent estate extends over three splendid hectares of parkland.
The Park, completely renovated in 2004, presents a rich and extremely diverse natural environment, characterized by natural features that, along with charming circular paths and majestic staircases, lead to the highest part of the property where the Main Villa is located.
At the foot of the Villa, different species of shrubs frame the circular-shaped pool, which is why the Park has been named "The Amphitheater Park."
The environmental richness of the park is provided by 80 different types of tree species and 50 varieties of shrubs.
Among the characteristic tall tree species, we find maples, cypresses, birches, firs, oaks, beeches, magnolias, cedars, plane trees, robinias, and conifers.
Furthermore, there are several fruit trees, including cherry, persimmon, pear, hazelnut, walnut, plum, apricot, and pomegranate, which gift the park with splendid colors.
This extraordinary diversity of species gives the estate a unique appearance.
To preserve the magnificence of the park, the owners have acquired additional 4 hectares of adjoining land over time, with a possible building volume of 2,500 cubic meters. These lands are also included in the sale.
