Under the Rocca di Angera just 40 minutes from Milan and metres from the golf courses of Lake Maggiore, rises this eco-sustainable design villa on a hill with beautiful views over the lake. This modern structure guarantees a class A+ energy rating and has been built with sustainable materials, blending perfectly into the natural surroundings.
The 460m2 villa is built over three floors, has a rural feel and is surrounded by a spectacular 8,000m2 planted garden with tall trees and shrubs. This allows perfect privacy, while also including a swimming pool and a poolhouse. Lake Maggiore is also a short walk away and tops off the peaceful, idyllic surroundings of the villa.
The villa is characterised by large windows that illuminate the entire property throughout the day and allow you to feel immersed in nature, and thanks to large French doors, it is possible to access the garden from the majority of the ground floor. This floor is home to a large living room which opens directly onto the garden, as well as a modern kitchen, dining room and bathroom. A corridor leads to the sleeping area with 2 master bedrooms, each with walk-in wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms.
On the first floor there is a spacious office with adjoining bathroom and a large terrace where the best of the lake views can be enjoyed, as well as the unique garden area spread over the flat roof of the property. This room could equally be converted into another bedroom if desired. In the basement there is a library, TV room, 2 guest bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, as well as a large laundry room.
