Single house for sale - 6600 Locarno

One of the last natural paradises: Selva Fiorita, Locarno-Monti. A journey through time to a blooming refuge with charisma. Ideal for self-realization and dreaming. It is said that special places are defined by the "genius loci", the spirit of the place. This applies here to the garden and house from the 1930s. The property still breathes the identity and spirit of its inhabitants, who have created a blooming paradise here over three generations. Camellias, rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolias compete with mimosas, myrtles, and eucalyptus. Crystal clear drinking water comes fresh from the spring from the local mountain Cimetta. With the first rays of sunshine, one can hear the trilling and whistling of Mediterranean bird species such as little bittern, nightingale, and oriole. And all five senses repeatedly experience the rare experience of complete bliss. The large property in Locarno Monti with its old plant and tree population is a place full of peace, harmony, charisma, and dignity. An elevated oasis above the lowlands to consciously retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse oneself in other worlds: Above are the hills of Cardada. On the other side, Monte Tamaro and Monte Gambarogno. And below lies the panorama of Locarno with partially impressive lake views. The "House in the Blooming Forest" (Selva Fiorita) breathes the history of three generations. Their energy, their intentions, their green passion for gardening. And confirms the cosmopolitan Alexander von Humboldt, who is said to have never seen happier people than gardeners. Because gardening grounds people. And is good for the mind and soul. The old property is a challenge to gently renew under the aspect of sustainability. Because it has preserved much of the substance and dignity of the founding era. The puristic architecture recalls Bauhaus influences in Swiss interpretation: modestly simple and functional. The building envelope made of up to 50 cm thick outer walls and solid interior walls breathes the power of Ticino natural stones as the epitome of durability. And the four simple, square rooms with a winter garden in the basement and usable attic as well as access to the spacious balcony are flooded with light and welcome retreats for creative inspiration and meditative contemplation. Luxury does not determine the value scale here. Rather, virtues such as sustainability, credibility, honesty, and substance. Above all, however, the challenge of the genius loci, the spirit of the place. Therefore, this property is ideal for people who are looking for authenticity and want to face a special task with enthusiasm, conviction, and full commitment and realize a dream of life. A jewel on the sunny slope of Locarno Monti, on one hand only 10 minutes from the pulsating life on Piazza Locarno. On the other hand, not accessible to everyone. And therefore all the more valuable as a private island of bliss.
