Buy real estate on Lake Maggiore: The rustico presents itself romantically

With real estate agent Engel & Völkers in Ascona, you can buy picturesque, romantic properties on Lake Maggiore, such as a rustico. Rustici were once functional houses mainly used for agriculture in Ticino. Traditionally, Ticino builders used sturdy granite stone for the walls and roof of a farmhouse. This not only provides these houses with special stability but also ensures that they blend visually with the impressive mountain landscape. The rustici available on Lake Maggiore today reflect this romantic architecture. Inside, however, many of these properties surprise with high-quality or even luxurious furnishings that meet the latest standards. It is precisely this contrast between the rustic architecture, the romantic flair, and the high-tech furnishings that is so inspiring. Discover your ideal rustico on Lake Maggiore with us as your real estate agent, whether as a fascinating vacation home or a dreamlike permanent residence.
