Overlooking Lake Orta from Ghiffa, this south-facing villa occupies a panoramic position above the water. Surrounded by its own generous grounds, the house extends to 315 m² across four floors, combining contemporary lines with subtle traditional references.
Offered at €2,350,000, this luxury property in the Piedmont region is arranged to follow the natural slope of the land, ensuring that each principal room engages directly with the lake. Full southern exposure brings consistent natural light throughout the day, shaping both interior spaces and terraces.
A living floor framed by the lake
At street level, a single garage and the main entrance introduce the principal floor. The living area unfolds as a generous, open space where large windows frame uninterrupted views of the water.
A separate eat-in kitchen, enclosed by a glass door, maintains visual continuity while allowing privacy. A pantry and dedicated laundry room sit discreetly to one side. The living room and adjoining spaces open onto a terrace and a continuous front-facing balcony, extending the entire width of the house and establishing a direct relationship with the landscape.
Private quarters with outdoor access
The upper floor is dedicated to the sleeping area. Three bedrooms are arranged with clarity and proportion, one benefiting from an en-suite bathroom, while a second bathroom serves the remaining rooms.
Each bedroom opens onto an outdoor space, including a panoramic balcony facing the lake. The layout ensures that natural light and views remain central to daily life, even within the more private areas of the house.
A lower level carved into the landscape
The lower ground floor provides flexible accommodation currently arranged as a study, office and gym. Two additional bathrooms support this level, allowing it to function independently for work or leisure.
A distinctive feature is the sauna carved directly into the rock, integrating the natural geology of the site into the architecture. This level reinforces the sense of retreat without disconnecting from the overall plan.
Terraced gardens and infinity water
The garden, extending to approximately 1,300 m², alternates between terraced sections and level green areas. Planting and stonework follow the contours of the hillside, preserving clear sightlines towards the lake.
An infinity pool sits at the edge of the grounds, aligned with the horizon so that water and lake appear continuous. The exterior spaces are designed as an extension of the house, supporting outdoor living in privacy.
A contemporary presence on Lake Orta
Ghiffa remains one of the quieter stretches of Lake Orta, valued for its residential character and open views across the water. Within this setting, the villa presents a composed architectural statement defined by orientation, proportion and connection to its surroundings.
Its combination of modern construction, integrated leisure spaces and enduring lake frontage positions it as a long-term residence shaped as much by landscape as by design.
