In Nebbiuno, this small historic estate, known as I Roccoli, was formerly used as a place for net hunting and includes an adjoining “tower” (dating from the 18th century, where hunters would lie in wait).
The property extends over more than 34,000 sq m of land and includes a residence, an adjoining storage building/garage, and an access road free from easements.
The land surrounding the residence is fully fenced and enhanced by large plants of various species, with a dedicated irrigation system.
The land can be substantially increased through the Agricultural Company (shown in green on the map), which may also permit further extensions, including to the residence.
A truly unique property.
Geographically, the property is strategically located, just 2 km from the motorway entrance and 35 minutes from Milan Malpensa Airport.
The village of Nebbiuno lies in the Province of Novara, within the strip of Piedmontese land bordering Lake Maggiore. Set in a hilly, richly vegetated area, this small town offers both tranquillity and proximity to services and the main lakeside towns, foremost among them Arona. An important tourist centre, well connected to the main motorways, close to Malpensa and 60 km from Milan, Arona stands on the Piedmontese shore of Lake Maggiore.
A town with a rich history, Arona was long controlled by the wealthy and powerful Borromeo family: Saint Charles Borromeo was born here, in the castle, in 1538.
The town is home to numerous churches and squares, including the Church of the Holy Martyrs, with its fifteenth-century frescoes from the Leonardesque school, and the Collegiate Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. Moving on to the town’s medieval heart, we discover Piazza del Popolo, with its old-world houses and pier, topped by a small lighthouse and a favourite destination for tourists. However, Arona’s most important and fascinating monument is undoubtedly the colossal statue of Saint Charles Borromeo. Standing approximately 35 metres tall, it ranks as the second-tallest statue in the world, surpassed only by the Statue of Liberty.
Arona also offers tourists a variety of activities: a historic centre filled with shops and restaurants, a beautiful lakeside promenade, and lidos and small beaches where visitors can spend warm summer days.
Against this wonderful historical and natural backdrop, you can find homes for sale on Lake Maggiore.
