Historic Castle On Lake Maggiore, Lesa

About the Property

In the heart of Lake Maggiore, immersed in a centuries-old park of great charm and tranquillity, stands the Antico Maniero di Lesa. The property is located in a privileged position, just a few minutes from the town centre and the shores of the lake, in a protected, private and easily accessible natural setting. The surrounding environment, with its monumental trees, shaded paths and panoramic views, makes this residence ideal for those seeking a peaceful setting without sacrificing proximity to the main amenities. The main building is a period villa that reflects the architectural style of an ancient manor house, with decorative towers and battlements that emphasise its historic character. Dating back to the late 18th century, the property has undergone several renovations over the years. In particular, the upper floors have been recently renovated to improve their liveability and facilities, while respecting the original structure. The villa is spread over four floors above ground plus a basement. On the lower level, there is a room overlooking the park, used as a winter garden, and two ancillary rooms. The ground floor is currently used for catering activities: it houses several rooms, equipped kitchens, pantries and bathrooms. A front section, once a terrace, has been enclosed to create a large, bright living room overlooking the grounds. The first, second and third floors are used as residential accommodation, with an internal layout suitable for both private and hospitality use. In particular, the top two floors have been recently renovated, offering welcoming and functional rooms. The park, measuring approximately 12,000 square metres, is one of the most valuable features of the property. It contains charming corners with artificial caves, fountains with water features, and tall trees such as beeches, cedars, oaks, magnolias, rhododendrons and azaleas, which give the garden a romantic and scenic appearance in every season. The property is completed by several outbuildings: a greenhouse, a woodshed, a guest house and two independent cottages with the potential to be converted into residential units or annexes. The entire complex is suitable for a variety of uses, both residential and professional. The Antico Maniero di Lesa is perfect for those seeking a charming residence in an area rich in history, nature and culture. It is suitable as a main residence for a large family or for several families, or as an elegant second home on Lake Maggiore. Thanks to its layout, the quality of the outdoor spaces and the presence of several independent buildings, it is also a valid solution for accommodation, events or high-level hospitality.
