Description

We are offering for sale a charming villa that combines privacy, comfort and unparalleled views of Lake Garlate and Resegone, the iconic mountain with jagged peaks that inspired Alessandro Manzoni in I Promessi Sposi and dominates the Lecco landscape, offering glimpses of rare beauty in every season. Built in the late 1960s, the property stands out for its quiet and private location, as well as its spacious interior and exterior areas. The villa is divided into two independent apartments: an ideal solution for multiple families, for those who want to combine a main residence with an investment property, or for those looking for a flexible home. The first apartment, located on the upper floor, opens onto a large living area, kitchen, study, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The panoramic terrace overlooking the lake is the perfect place to relax in the open air. The second apartment, on the lower floor, offers equally generous rooms: living room, two kitchens, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Direct access to the flat garden and the beautiful lake view are further highlights. Thanks to the two kitchens and two bathrooms, as well as the possibility of easily dividing the rooms via an internal door in the corridor, this part of the property could also be converted into two independent units — suitable, for example, for accommodating family members or a live-in carer. Direct access from the main door or directly from the garage connected internally to the house further enhances this versatility. Over the years, the villa has undergone various maintenance works: the roof was completely redone in 2010, the boilers were replaced and some windows and doors were renovated. The interior finishes, mostly original, offer the opportunity to personalise the rooms according to your own style. Both units are equipped with independent radiator heating systems. The property is completed by a large courtyard perfect for parking several vehicles, a spacious attic and a mostly flat garden, an authentic oasis of tranquillity. Surrounded by a landscape reminiscent of Manzoni's novels, between lake, mountains and history, living here means enjoying an enchanting view every day. The strategic location allows you to reach Lecco, Como, Milan and all the wonders of Lake Como in just a few minutes.»

Location: Galbiate, Lombardy

Galbiate is a charming municipality located in a panoramic position in the hills of Lecco, overlooking the picturesque Lake Annone and just a few minutes from the shores of the renowned Lake Como. This corner of Lombardy is particularly appreciated by nature lovers for its breathtaking landscapes and wide variety of outdoor activities. Among the must-see destinations are the Monte Barro Natural Park, a protected area offering spectacular views of the surrounding lakes and mountains, and the cycle path that circles Lake Annone. The numerous hiking trails and equipped climbing cliffs offer ideal opportunities to enjoy the mountains in every season. The town's strategic location allows easy access to many places of interest. Lecco is only 14 minutes away by car, while Como and Lake Como can be reached in about 30 minutes (28 km). Milan and its international airports (Malpensa and Linate) are about an hour away, as is the Swiss city of Lugano with its regional airport. In winter, the famous ski resorts of St. Moritz (CH), Bormio, Madesimo and Livigno are easily accessible within 2-3 hours by car. The village offers all the main services for residents and visitors: schools, municipal library and cultural centre, sports facilities (gyms, sports field, swimming pool nearby), post office, bank, pharmacy and basic health services and clinics. The Galbiate area also boasts a number of historical and cultural attractions, such as the octagonal Romanesque Baptistery of St. John the Baptist and, nearby, the precious works of Marco d'Oggiono (a pupil of Leonardo da Vinci) and Andrea Appiano, housed in the church of Sant'Eufemia in the village of Oggiono. Galbiate combines the tranquillity and beauty of the natural landscape with the comforts and amenities of modern centres, making it an ideal choice for both everyday living and as a second home surrounded by nature.
