18th Century Villa Set on Lake Como

This property is on the market with Sotheby's Realty Italy. Price is disclosed upon application with the listing agency. 

Dating back to the early 1700s, the one-of-a-kind property is set in the commune of Carate Urio on the western shores of Lake Como, some 10 km from the city of Como. 

Nestled in private parkland on the water’s edge, the half-acre estate features stunning views over the lake and mountains, framed by centuries-old trees. 

There is a lovely swimming pool with a relaxation area, as well as a charming lakefront path meandering through the property. The waterfront property has 3 docks on Lake Como, perfect for medium-sized boats. 

The main residence offers 6 bedrooms and several elegantly appointed reception rooms, featuring fine period detail and several terraces overlooking the lake. 

The Lake Como property comes with a caretaker’s house and a guest house with a private garden, connected to the main garden via a romantic bridge which crosses the Via Vecchia Regina.
