Description
Nestled in the heart of nature, in the immediate vicinity of picturesque streams and forest-covered hills, lies this attractive terraced apartment complex with a large outdoor pool heated from May to October, in which our duplex holiday apartment is located. A generous amount of space of approximately 160 m² and two sunny terraces (80 m² each) also offer absolute privacy. The floor-to-ceiling windows running the entire length of the living room and bedroom not only allow plenty of light into the rooms, they also offer a phenomenal view of Lake Maggiore. The interior design is predominantly in the high-priced rustic country house style. Various technical amenities (terracotta flooring with underfloor heating; sauna; integrated built-in grill, etc.) paired with traditional Italian luxury elements (granite columns, marble bathroom) ensure living comfort and a high quality of life. The apartment has two entrances. The main entrance is on the upper floor. Here, with its open-plan living area, family and friends can enjoy the picturesque panoramic lake view or listen to the crackling fire and simply enjoy being together. From the living room, you have direct access to the sunny, granite-tiled terrace – which immediately extends the living space outside. On this floor, you'll find a charming guest toilet and two bedrooms, one of which has its own bathroom with a shower/sink. The other bedroom also offers panoramic lake views and direct terrace access. On the lower floor, there's an open-plan kitchen with a large cooking island and dining area. Both the cooking island and the entire dining area offer magnificent lake views. The direct terrace access is particularly inviting during the summer months. Whether you're cooking inside or grilling on the sun terrace by the outdoor fireplace, you can enjoy a wonderful meal at the typical granite table under the romantic pergola while listening to birdsong – either way, it's a pleasure. The washing machine/tumble dryer/indoor grill and other amenities are also cleverly integrated into the kitchen. This floor also houses a bedroom, also with panoramic lake views and terrace access, and a spacious marble bathroom with a bathtub, shower, and Orient Express-style sauna. Two covered parking spaces are available, each available for purchase separately for CHF 35,000. The apartment also includes two spacious basement storage units, one on the apartment floor and the other at the parking level, making it ideal for storing numerous bicycles. And that's not all. The apartment complex offers its residents a well-maintained, heated outdoor swimming pool. The pool is accessed via a romantic little bridge, past a bamboo grove. The pool has an automatic pool cover and well-maintained sanitary facilities. Thanks to its prominent location, you can also enjoy the impressive mountain and lake panorama from the pool area. Welcome! Location and surroundings of this property As a popular tourist destination and luxury residential area rich in history, Orselina is known above all for its advantageous elevated, sunny location and its fabulously beautiful, breathtaking view of Lake Maggiore. Its architectural and artistic beauty, combined with the lush Mediterranean vegetation, favored by the region's subtropical climate, is fascinating. Orselina offers both wonderful panoramic walking trails and direct access to the mountains (on foot or by modern cable car). Not to be forgotten is the impressive sight of the imposing Madonna del Sasso pilgrimage church, which towers majestically above Locarno. Both the Madonna del Sasso and the two cable car stations are a 10-minute walk from the property, without traffic. In the immediate vicinity (10 minutes by car) is Locarno, known for its annual film festival. Elegant boutiques for shopping, a spacious beach, a yacht club, upscale hotels, and many excellent restaurants, as well as beautiful walks, surfing, sailing, and other water sports, as well as boat trips on Lake Maggiore, characterize life here. The prestigious 18-hole golf courses in Ascona and Losone are about a 15-minute drive away, as are tennis courts. The imposing Madonna del Sasso pilgrimage church towers above Locarno. The magnificently wild nature of the nearby Ticino side valleys, such as the Maggia Valley, Centovalli, and Valle Verzasca, offers endless opportunities for excursions, hikes, biking, and refreshment stops.
