Description
Nestled directly on the placid shores of Lake Como, BHHS Palazzo Estate proudly presents an exclusive pieds-dans-l’eau retreat, meticulously restored to offer unparalleled privacy and tranquility in the idyllic setting of Riva di Faggeto Lario. Surrounded by a maintained garden of approx. 3,000 sqm (32,292 sq.ft) that gracefully extends to the lake’s edge, this unique haven is set within a historic location dating back to the medieval era, enveloped by the timeless allure of Lake Como.
Accessible solely by boat, the property boasts a private mooring and buoy, making it an exceptional retreat for those seeking seclusion, immersion in nature, and a residence rich in charm, far removed from the lively bustle of the lake. Spanning approx. 130 sqm (1,399 sq.ft), the retreat comprises 3 refined bedrooms, two spacious double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and a single bedroom—each offering sweeping views of the lake and the lush surrounding vegetation. At the heart of the home lies an elegant and luminous living room with a fireplace and a bespoke library, its expansive sliding glass doors seamlessly connecting the interior to the captivating panorama of Lake Como. Completing the layout are a third bathroom, a kitchen, and various storage areas.
The interiors exude authenticity, characterized by exposed stone walls, antique wooden doors, and period furnishings. The residence is enriched with historical details, including doors featuring restored iron latches salvaged from village farmhouses and handcrafted wrought-iron lanterns, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Among the property’s most distinctive features are the exposed beam ceilings, a hand-carved granite sink, and a remarkable library crafted from centuries-old chestnut planks embedded in stone. Modern comforts blend seamlessly with historic charm, as the estate is equipped with a security system, double-glazed windows, air conditioning, a washing machine, dishwasher, TV, and Wi-Fi.
Outdoors, the estate is embraced by approx. 3,000 sqm (32,292 sq.ft) of lush meadow and woodland, cascading down to the water’s edge. The exterior features a dedicated barbecue area with a grand dining table, a hammock, sun loungers, and canoes for leisurely exploration of Lake Como’s crystalline waters.
Perched directly on the lake, the property opens onto a picturesque beach once used by local fishermen, offering a mesmerizing view that stretches across the shimmering waters to Laglio and Argegno. Access to the retreat is exclusively via boat, providing direct navigation to some of Lake Como’s most enchanting destinations: Como (approx. 10-15 minutes), Torno (5 minutes), Laglio (10 minutes), Argegno (10-15 minutes), Bellagio (20 minutes), and the world-renowned Villa d’Este in Cernobbio (15-20 minutes).
