Description

In a quiet and secluded location, close to the border with Switzerland, we offer for exclusive sale this interesting property surrounded by greenery, ideal for large families or those who desire a home with well-defined spaces. The house is developed over two main levels, divided into two independent apartments, offering residential versatility and ample interior spaces. The entrance to the property opens onto a common atrium for the two housing units, from which you access the first apartment through a large and bright living room with direct access to the balcony, perfect for enjoying the surrounding greenery. The open plan kitchen, modern and functional, integrates perfectly with the living area. The floor is completed by two windowed bathrooms, a master bedroom with a private walk-in closet, a second master bedroom, and a single bedroom. An internal staircase leads to the upper floor, where we find a second apartment also spacious and well-distributed. The living room with a balcony ensures brightness and a pleasant view, while the eat-in kitchen offers all the necessary space for daily life. Here too we find two windowed bathrooms, one with a shower and one with a bathtub, and a sleeping area with three bedrooms: a master bedroom with a private balcony, a second master bedroom, and a single bedroom, all particularly bright. The property is completed by a large basement, which houses a 61 sqm garage, also suitable as a convivial room thanks to the presence of a fireplace, a cellar, a storage room, and a service bathroom. Outside, a lush garden of about 3,500 sqm surrounds the house, providing privacy, tranquility, and space for outdoor activities. Within the park, there is a second structure with large windows, currently used as a leisure room or hobby room, ideal as a study, atelier, or relaxation area. This solution represents a unique opportunity for those who want to live surrounded by greenery, just a few minutes from the Swiss border, without sacrificing comfort, independence, and versatility.

Location: Clivio, Province of Varese

Situated on a hill ("clivium") overlooking the valley of Mendrisiotto, the area of Como, and the surrounding hills sloping towards the Lombard plain, it is believed to have been inhabited by the Orobi, a population of Cisalpine Gaul that lived in the mountainous region between Lake Como and Lake Garda. Clivio was a colony of the Roman Empire and Caesar established a station there to winter his legions. At the base of the hill where the old town center rises, flows the Lanza stream, which in its course through the town is called the Clivio stream. Along this stream, two mills are still visible: the Upper Mill, known since 1550, where a spinning mill was located until 1940, and the Lower Mill, of which unfortunately few traces of history remain. The two hamlets that have taken their names from these ancient settlements are now being restored by private individuals who are enhancing their ancient history. Unlike the nearby Viggiù and Saltrio, which based their economy on the extraction from sandstone quarries, Clivio primarily developed an agricultural activity. The municipality of Clivio is located in the north-western part of Lombardy, in the province of Varese, 15 km away. Clivio is also the first inhabited center of the Monte San Giorgio massif, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2003.
