Villa for sale - 6863 Besazio, Via Alla Cava 3

In the wonderful village of Besazio, located on the renowned Monte San Giorgio (UNESCO heritage), we offer for sale an important historic villa from the 1700s with an attached dépendance.

This property, with its unique and unmistakable charm, is located at via alla Cava no. 3, within the small village nucleus, on land of great value due to its particularly quiet yet strategic position, given its proximity to the motorway exit and the nearby centers of Chiasso and Mendrisio where one can take advantage of all urban services. At the back, the house is surrounded by the green oasis of the mountain where there is a large vineyard and, in a few minutes, one can reach a path in the woods that connects the other municipalities of the valley.

This is an ancient patrician house that underwent a total renovation in 2013, giving rise to a new commercial function for office use, in a simple and elegant style, while always preserving its typical external shell of nucleus villas. In this regard, it is noted that with a few internal adjustments, the property can easily be converted back into a single dwelling, as it was originally.

The villa has 6 rooms and is developed over 4 levels for a total gross usable area of 320 sqm:

• Ground Floor: On the ground floor, arriving from a bright entrance hall, we find a magnificent and characteristic grotto from the 1700s with a barrel ceiling in terracotta equipped with a large fireplace and kitchen counter, a small fridge located under the stairs, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a first guest bathroom with shower, and a technical room complete with a wood-burning oven.

• First Floor: On the first floor, there is what could correspond to the living area, where from an important corridor lined with large windows that serves as a hallway, we find a first room (suitable for creating a large kitchen), a pantry, a bathroom complete with shower, and a large open room, ideal as a living room with dining area.

• Second Floor: The upper floor of the house, dedicated to the sleeping area, consists of a master bedroom with en suite bathroom equipped with both shower and bathtub, two additional bedrooms, and a fourth bathroom with shower.

• Third Floor: Finally, going up a small spiral staircase, we reach the highest turret of the house, where there is an additional room (suitable as both a bedroom and study) from which to enjoy the wonderful open view over the characteristic pergola roofs of the nucleus of Besazio.

The property is located in a private courtyard for exclusive use where, entering through a wooden gate, we arrive at the external part dedicated to the villa with typical cobblestone paving, a pergola under which to relax, and a water well still in operation.

Inside the courtyard, there is an additional secondary building of two floors that serves as a dépendance, consisting on the ground floor of three comfortable rooms for storage or deposit, while on the first floor there is a bright open space of 38 sqm for residential use, also ideal as a study/office.

Since the villa is not directly accessible by car, there is the possibility to park one's vehicle in the village center, just a few meters away.

Location: In the splendid context of Monte San Giorgio (UNESCO World Heritage since 2003), located in the Mendrisiotto region and near the Italian-Swiss border, lies the small village of Besazio.

This enchanting and quiet neighborhood of the city of Mendrisio, bordering Arzo and Tremona, is a strategic place due to its proximity to major road and rail arteries (of Chiasso and Mendrisio), which are, however, hidden by the lush natural scenery that surrounds it. Besazio enjoys a privileged sunny and hilly position, from which a wonderful panorama opens up over the region and the nearby Italy.

Although it is a small village with few inhabitants, Besazio proves to be a dynamic place thanks to the numerous activities present in the area, such as the possibility of short and easy walks, or longer hikes towards the upper villages of Monte San Giorgio (notably the panoramic hotel of Serpiano, from which to enjoy a breathtaking lake view).
