luxury waterfront house for sale Colonno, Italy

Once inhabited by fishermen and farmers, the small municipality of Colonno has preserved its characteristic lakeside architecture. In this romantic setting lies a property that offers breathtaking views of Lake Como. Located just a short distance from the heart of Tremezzina, this lakefront estate, dating back to 1840, spans three levels plus an attic, covering approximately 400 square meters (4,305 sq ft). The property requires careful restoration. Most of the rooms face directly onto the lake, with two featuring balconies that seem to hover over the water. The estate is conveniently situated near the public parking area and the ferry dock, accessible via a picturesque cobblestone pathway. Proximity to the lake, perfect year-round exposure, peace, and tranquility are among the key features that make this property a secure real estate investment with strong tourism potential. On the street level, there is a spacious open-plan area with vaulted stone ceilings in need of restoration, along with a small outdoor space providing direct access to the water. A characteristic Moltrasio stone staircase leads to the first floor, where three large rooms offer stunning views of both the lake and the charming village of Colonno. A grand fireplace with stone benches, an original 19th-century feature, adds to the historic charm. The upper floor houses the sleeping area, consisting of the main living room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. Finally, the attic, with small lake-view windows, presents itself as a spacious open-plan area with generous ceiling heights, featuring exposed beams over three meters high, offering great potential for redevelopment. This historic residence provides a truly unique experience in direct connection with the lake, offering extraordinary panoramic views and direct access to the water.
