For sale villa, lake Mandello del Lario LC

Just a few kilometers from Varenna, on the Lecco side of Lake Como, we are offering for sale a prestigious villa with a heated pool, a hot tub, and a sauna, set in a beautiful park with terraces offering stunning views of the lake. The villa is ideal as a vacation home or as a primary residence. The property is located right on the lake and is separated from it by a quiet pedestrian street. Access to the property is via a tree-lined driveway leading to the villa’s main entrance. Built in the late 1980s and renovated in 2024, the property is nestled within a beautifully landscaped garden of approximately 2,000 square meters, featuring panoramic lake views and a bocce court. It spans three floors and is laid out as follows: on the semi-basement level: a lounge with a fireplace, a wine cellar, a laundry room, a guest room, a walk-in closet, a bathroom, and storage rooms, as well as a spacious garage for four cars; on the ground floor: a sumptuous entryway with a fireplace, a double living room with a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden, the pool, and the lake, a dining room, a kitchen with access to the porch, and a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom. The first floor, dedicated to the sleeping quarters, consists of a large master bedroom with an en suite bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a panoramic terrace. The floors feature fine marble and hardwood. The property is conveniently located near the town center, with all its amenities, and the lake; the boat dock is a 15-minute walk away. The town of Mandello del Lario is located on the eastern shore of Lake Como, halfway between the charming town of Lecco (about 10 km / 12 minutes by car) and the renowned town of Varenna, at the foot of the Grigna mountain range. Mandello is known for the historic “Moto Guzzi” motorcycle factory—which has its own museum—and for its spacious beaches. The lake attracts water sports enthusiasts with a wide range of recreational activities: rowing, sailing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing; boats can be rented at the fully equipped marinas. The surrounding countryside, nestled among the green mountains, is perfect for pleasant walks, hikes, or mountain bike rides. One of the most popular scenic trails is the “Sentiero del Viandante,” while other trails can reach altitudes of over 2,000 meters. The Lombard metropolis of Milan, with its international airports at Malpensa and Linate, is about an hour’s drive away (73 km) or accessible via the Milan–Sondrio railway line. The Swiss city of Lugano and its regional airport are approximately an hour and a half away, while the city of Como can be reached in 50 minutes (40 km). Winter sports enthusiasts can take advantage of the relatively close proximity to the ski resorts of St. Moritz (CH), Madesimo, Bormio, and Livigno, which can be reached in two to three and a half hours by car, depending on the destination. The Lake Como ferry service operates year-round, providing convenient connections to other charming lakeside towns, such as the famous resort town of Bellagio.
