THE ART OF LIVING Two Iconic Residences with Lake Views In one of the most exclusive and private locations of the Collina d'Oro, just minutes from the center of Lugano, rise two contemporary villas that redefine the very concept of prestigious living. Not mere properties, but authentic architectural statements. A place where absolute privacy, breathtaking views and signature design come together in perfect balance.

Master suites, with wardrobes and designer en-suite bathrooms, evoke the atmosphere of a five-star hotel suite, but with the intimacy of home. Private elevators, large garages, technical rooms and service spaces complete a level of comfort designed for a demanding, international clientele.

ust outside central Lugano, in the residential setting of Sorengo, this early twentieth-century villa occupies a secluded position within approximately 2,469 m² of private grounds. Mature planting, open lawns and views towards the lake create a notably private environment within easy reach of the city, Franklin University Switzerland and TASIS. Built in 1910, the villa extends across four levels and offers approximately 510 m² of living space. Its original architectural character remains visible in the entrance hall, central staircase, arched windows and wood-panelled salon with fireplace. The main floor accommodates the reception rooms: a generous living room, dining room, wood-panelled salon with fireplace, separate kitchen and guest bathroom. The upper floor comprises the principal suite with en-suite bathroom and private terrace, two further bedrooms and an additional bathroom. The attic level provides further bedrooms and a versatile room, while the lower floor contains leisure and service areas, with the potential to create a self-contained unit. A separate building used as an annex and a garage for two cars complete the property. The estate underwent several improvement works between 2015 and 2019. From a planning perspective, plot no. 140 lies within a residential zone. Article 28 of the implementing regulations provides for a maximum building height of 10 metres and a maximum floor area ratio of 0.6. At least 40% of the developable plot area must remain free of buildings and, as a rule, at least half of this portion must be landscaped as green space. Applied to the entire plot, the floor area ratio results in a theoretical maximum gross floor area of approximately 1,481 m². The effective remaining development capacity must be established through a dedicated technical assessment, taking into account the floor area already utilised, the required setbacks, access arrangements and any further applicable restrictions. The scale of the land therefore allows for different architectural directions, ranging from the preservation and contemporary reinterpretation of the existing villa to a broader development project, subject in each case to the necessary technical reviews and approvals. Available for use as a second home.

Hidden among the gentle hills of Bioggio, just minutes from Lugano, this remarkable country residence, Casa Barnino, offers a rare balance of heritage, privacy and understated elegance. Surrounded by vineyards and rolling greenery, the property enjoys a profound sense of tranquility while remaining closely connected to the cultural and economic vitality of the Lugano Region. From the house and its upper levels, the view opens southward across a magnificent panorama of Lake Lugano and the surrounding mountains, the water forming a luminous and ever-changing backdrop that accompanies the estate throughout the seasons. The origins of the residence date back several centuries. The property underwent an important restoration in 18th century and was comprehensively renovated in 1984, followed by further updates between 2006 and 2021. Each intervention was carried out with particular care for the historic structure, preserving its architectural character while introducing contemporary systems and modern comfort with discretion. Set within approximately 13,000 sqm of beautifully planted grounds and offering around 555 sqm of living space, the estate unfolds within a secluded, park-like landscape shaped by mature trees, ornamental plantings and a remarkable variety of botanical and fruit species that thrive in the mild climate of southern Ticino. The result is a rich and layered garden environment with a distinctly Mediterranean character. Arrival at the property follows a private driveway that leads to a small forecourt in front of the house with five parking spaces, some sheltered beneath a pergola covered with kiwi vines. This simple and authentic feature reflects the rural origins of the residence and its long relationship with the surrounding landscape. Casa Barnino embodies a refined dialogue between historic craftsmanship and modern comfort. Expansive windows frame sweeping views of the surrounding landscape, illuminating the living spaces and highlighting original details such as natural stone staircases and door niches.The living room, anchored by a fireplace, flows naturally into the kitchen, crafted in classic country style with warm wooden textures and subtle Mediterranean elegance. The adjoining dining area, with a second fireplace, forms a cozy and inviting heart for everyday living and entertaining. Bedrooms provide serene retreats, some opening onto gentle vews of Lake Lugano, while bathrooms reflect careful attention to materials and light: one in Verde Spluga green stone echoes the natural surroundings, while another frames a quiet view toward a mature oak tree, connecting interior and landscape. Each space transitions naturally to the next, blending historic character with contemporary refinement to create a home defined by light, serenity, and timeless elegance. Outdoor living forms an essential dimension of the estate. A portico courtyard with a large fireplace, kitchenette and dining area creates a natural setting for long summer evenings and relaxed gatherings. The grounds also include a swimming pool, a traditional boccia court, a fountain and three natural biotopes that enrich the ecological diversity of the garden while creating secluded corners for rest and contemplation. The property also includes an authentic wine cellar, a reminder of the long-standing viticultural tradition of the region, which has shaped the landscape of southern Ticino for generations. Within its expansive gardens, Casa Barnino offers a rare sense of place, where history, landscape and daily life unfold in quiet continuity. The property also offers potential for further expansion. Second homes are permitted for Swiss nationals or those holding a B permit.

Its defining feature lies just a few steps from the house: a private garden of 162 sq m with a small ancillary building. In a historic village context, this independent outdoor space is a rare and valuable complement, offering a quiet green setting for daily life, gardening or open-air dining. The house is arranged over three levels. The entrance level leads to an open-plan kitchen with dining area and living space, centred around a traditional fireplace. Exposed timber beams, terracotta floors and the original proportions give the interiors a simple, genuine character, closely connected to the architectural identity of the village. The upper floor includes a main bedroom, a study with access to a small balcony, and a bathroom with shower. The top level accommodates a mezzanine, suitable as a second bedroom, guest area or additional private space.

Both ancillary areas benefit from underfloor heating and provide practical, well-usable storage and service space. A discreet and characterful home for those seeking the atmosphere of a historic Ticino village, with the added rarity of a private garden close to the house.

Within the historic nucleus of Pura, set among the hills of Alto Malcantone, this 19th-century property retains a distinctly Ticinese character, arranged around internal courtyards and arcaded porticoes, with open views over the surrounding landscape extending towards Lake Lugano. The property comprises a main residence and four independent apartments. The principal house may also be designated as a secondary residence, while the additional units are configured as primary residences. The overall layout allows for different modes of use: maintaining the current subdivision, generating rental income from the apartments, or consolidating the volumes into a single, substantial private residence. The total living area amounts to approximately 1,000 sqm, arranged over four levels. The ground floor spaces open directly onto the courtyards and garden, offering generous and adaptable volumes; the upper floors adopt a more residential configuration, with multiple rooms. The top level accommodates an attic loft of approximately 100 sqm, along with a further 93 sqm of additional space within the roof volume. Separate access points ensure independence between the units and allow for a comprehensive reconfiguration of the property according to different requirements, whether residential or investment-oriented. The land extends to over 10,800 sqm, largely agricultural, and surrounds the property with open views over the greenery and partial lake vistas. A rustic outbuilding is also present. The exterior areas are particularly generous and allow for numerous outdoor parking spaces. A garden of approximately 80 sqm serves the areas closest to the house. The property requires renovation, offering the opportunity to enhance its structure and redefine the spaces with a coherent approach.
