Plesio – Enchanting Lake Como Chalet with Panoramic Views & Expansive Private Garden

Are you looking for a superb property with the best lake view at Lake Como? The search is over! This enchanting stone house has got all one need: breath taking views, super sun exposition, extraordinary high end quality finishings and technological systems that make it fully independent!

The property, made up of kitchen, living room and bathroom at the ground floor, plus two spacious bedrooms upstairs boasts an overall commercial surface of around 100 sqm. The warm and bright ground floor has on one side a nice living room area, on the other a combined kitchen and dining area.
One cannot miss to note the tailor made kitchen, realized by local ebanists and craftmans, a real pearl completed by the excellent devices installed.

All of the interior has been tailor made by craftmans from Bormio, with good quality wood for the boiserie and the built-in wood cabinets, as well as the hand made wooden staircases.

From each room one can admire the lake as in the best postcard, but also enjoy the serene and tranquil environment around: a nice valley and an enchanting woodland.

The good sized land, around 5.000 sqm, surrounds the property and is made up of garden as well as woodland, right outside the property a flat area with a big hand made wooden table with benches is the natural extension of the ground floor living area, just perfect for al fresco dining or to enjoy a good meal with friends, cooked in the stone made barbecue, right at hand. For the wine, a perfect cellar on the other side is just the most convenient accomodation also for cheese, ham or whatever else that could need to be naturally seasoned.

Last but not least, the house technology is just astonishing: solar panels and batteries provide electricity to the property, at the common rate of 50 Hz and 220 V tension, just as in a regular house in town, plus a 400 liters accumulator for the hot water stores the thermal energy produced by the other solar panels. To avoid over temperatures of the accumulator, when the water gets to around 80 degrees, a sensor closes a curtain on the panel, avoiding the water gets too hot.

This jem has been built over the ruins of an ancient rustico in the early two thousand, since then always used by the current owner as holiday home.

The structure is made up of reinforced concrete and bricks, finished with local stone on the outside walls and a superb stone made roof, well insulated and coevered with very tick roof tiles, in the way it could last for centuries with very poor maintenance.

The road to the house is for the last 1,5 km on a authorized only way, so there is not much traffic, as also home or land owners can use it, there is a little fee to pay each year, around 80 euro to get the barrier key.
It is a mountain road, but one can drive with an average regular car (maybe not the best for very sportive low cars), wheras the last 600 meters are on a dirt dead end road, which finishes at the property entrance.

Situated within easy driving distance of Menaggio, the new owner can easily get out and about from this resort town by road, bus and ferry. Menaggio also provides a super modern family lido, a great selection of shops, supermarkets, authentic restaurants, cafes and offers golf, tennis, boat rental and swimming opportunities. The well-connected town also provides carefree access to the touristic Tremezzina shore (home to Villa Balbianello, Villa Carlotta, the Greenway del Lago walking trail and picturesque resort villages), the resorts of Bellagio and Varenna (via ferry), the cosmopolitan city of Lugano (via road and bus links towards Porlezza) and the southern lake capital of Como (via road, bus and fast ferry links). It also a chance to experience the real Italy with an amazing view and a great locally run restaurant with piazzas to die for.
