A distinctive residence of rare character, nestled in lush greenery on the shores of Lake Maggiore, just minutes from the center of Lesa and the waterfront promenade. Secluded yet exceptionally well-connected. The estate is set within a picturesque park of approximately 12,000 sqm, with century-old trees and sweeping panoramic views — offering complete privacy and an atmosphere of tranquility that defines premium lakeside living.
At the heart of the estate stands an 18th-century castle with towers and original architectural details. The property has undergone periods of modernization over the years — most notably on the upper floors, where historic aesthetics and contemporary comfort have been seamlessly brought together.
The residence spans several above-ground levels, complemented by a lower ground floor. The layout is highly adaptable — equally suited to private living, formal entertaining, or a hospitality concept.
The upper floors form the private living quarters: a thoughtfully arranged layout with warm, welcoming rooms well-suited to a large family, multiple family residences, or integration into a premium hospitality offering.
The ground floor is dedicated to reception and dining: expansive halls overlooking the park, professional kitchens and service areas, and a large glazed room created in place of a former terrace.
The park is a true romantic garden — shaded alleys, ancient trees, ornamental corners with artificial grottoes, fountains, and a rich collection of decorative plantings that compose a compelling landscape in every season.
The estate is further complemented by a range of outbuildings: a greenhouse, utility facilities, a guesthouse, and separate structures that can be repurposed as dépendances, guest residences, or staff quarters.
This is a rare opportunity on Lake Maggiore for those seeking a property with history, character, and scale. Ideally suited as a primary residence, a prestigious second home, or the foundation for an exclusive hospitality project — private events, distinguished receptions, and high-level entertainment at a truly exceptional address.
