House for sale - 6673 Maggia

In the municipality of Maggia, in the Giumaglio area, a magnificent Ticinese house with 6 + 2 rooms, completely renovated, is for sale, ideal as a primary or secondary residence. This historic house, dating back to the 18th century, is spread over two combined plots of 650 sq m each, for a total area of 1270 sq m. The property includes a large garden with a "biotope" pond, a pergola with a stone table, and a vineyard.

The complete renovation, carried out in 2012, included the complete refurbishment of the electrical and sanitary systems, the roof with new beams and insulation, the tiles, the installation of new Velux windows, as well as a "sponge" repainting to maintain the charm of the old. The current state of the property is optimal, with a living area of approximately 210 sq m spread over three floors.

On the ground floor, there is a large habitable kitchen with a fireplace, redone in 2023 and equipped with two Gaggenau ovens, a dishwasher, a large refrigerator, an induction hob, a dining room, a living room with antique beams and a stone fireplace, a service WC, and a laundry room. On the first floor, accessible via a wide staircase, there are three bedrooms, two large terraces, and two bathrooms (one with a bathtub and the other with a shower). The second attic floor, which is insulated, houses a large bedroom with Velux windows, a hobby room with Velux windows, and an attic. In the basement, there are two large "grotto" cellars with vaulted ceilings.

The property has an efficient heating system, which includes three 750W air-to-air heat exchangers, which function as both heating and air conditioning, electric radiators in the rooms, and two wood-burning stoves with an "open fire" in the living room and kitchen. The plastered stone perimeter walls (70 cm) are highly insulating, and the external PVC "faux wood" window frames with thermopen double glazing contribute to the comfort. The interior window frames are made of larch and walnut wood. In 2022, a 30-panel photovoltaic system of 12 kWp was installed, allowing for energy savings of 35-37%.

The unique character of the house is enhanced by its location in the heart of Giumaglio, with a small vineyard of "americana" grapes on the north side and a Merlot vineyard with 170 vines to the south-east, producing about 500 kg of fine grapes (about 350 bottles). The house is accessible by car to the door and benefits from excellent daily sunshine, even in the winter months. Essential services, such as shops, a bank, a post office, a pharmacy, and doctors, are just a 4-minute drive away, while Locarno and Ascona are about 15-20 minutes away.

It is possible to rent private parking spaces nearby at Fr. 60/month. Alternatively, an adjacent property, renovated and suitable for a garage-warehouse, is available at the price of Fr. 75,000.--, in addition to the possibility of purchasing a building plot of approximately 650 sq m (currently a vineyard) at Fr. 215,000.--.
