This property, ideal as a second home, overlooks the vast Magadino plain with views of Lake Maggiore. Although situated on a hillside, it boasts a flat garden offering a rare sense of freedom of movement, perfect for young couples and/or families wishing to enjoy unforgettable sunsets from the most sought-after stretch of the Locarno coastline.
Nestled amongst the vineyards in the municipality of Lavertezzo (Montedato), near Gordola and strategically situated away from the rush-hour traffic of cross-border commuters, the property is just a short walk from the new TiLo-FFS station in Riazzino, which takes you directly into the centre of Locarno in around ten minutes, where you can enjoy the wide range of culinary delights, a pleasant stroll along the lakefront, the local lifestyle and/or the numerous events organised in the city, particularly during festivals and the high season (FilmFestival, Moon&Stars, Luci ed Ombre, La Notte Bianca, etc. For details, see: https://lnk.ua/2V87Q3evE ).
Whether it’s the Mappo-Tenero-Muralto lakeside promenade, Vallemaggia, the Verzasca Valley, Ascona, Gambarogno or even the markets in Bellinzona, Luino or Cannobbio, all are just a few dozen kilometres away and offer further leisure activities in the surrounding region. For the more sporty types, the National Sports Centre is also within easy reach and leaves nothing to be desired. Needless to say, there are numerous trails throughout the area for long walks or bike rides immersed in nature, amongst grottos, rustic cottages and the countryside, in a setting typical of Ticino.
The house, built in the late 1960s and partially renovated just over twenty years ago, has always been lovingly cared for and kept in good condition. The plot on which the property stands measures 454 m² and is easily accessible by car right up to the front door. The house features a garage and a private courtyard. A few steps lead down to the main entrance of the villa, which offers the perfect comfort for a holiday stay and a break from everyday life. The villa, of modest size, has a simple yet cosy layout. In the main building there is an open-plan living area that combines both the lounge and the dining room, facing a wood-burning fireplace. From this area, there is direct access to the garden, which features a large open space – sheltered from the elements – designed for ‘memorable barbecues and convivial moments’. Situated close to the hillside, this area remains pleasantly cool even in the hottest season, thanks also to a large sunshade. Adjacent to the dining area is a charming kitchenette, allowing the lucky occupants of the property to chat whilst preparing delicious meals. Two bedrooms (one double and one single) share a toilet and shower. At the rear is a practical storage room.
Adjacent to the ‘Grill’ area is a further bedroom with a toilet and shower, featuring separate access, allowing for flexible use according to your needs (e.g. for guests, Airbnb, children or relatives, etc.).
In addition to the wood-burning fireplace, there are electric heating panels which, thanks to the excellent and constant exposure to the sun, very rarely need to be switched on.
Undoubtedly, the building’s Mediterranean style, its location, the unbeatable views, and the flat garden—suitable for the potential installation of a swimming pool, a hot tub or children’s play equipment—make this property, ready for immediate use, a particularly sought-after opportunity that we invite you to appreciate for yourself during a forthcoming viewing.
