We are selling our lovingly furnished and fully equipped Rustico in a dream location above the municipality of Castro in the Blenio Valley at an altitude of 1,200 meters.
The Rustico, situated in a sunny and quiet location with running water and solar power supply, offers a wonderful view of the Blenio Valley and the Rheinwaldhorn.
The Rustico was built in 1896 and restored in the 1980s. The eat-in kitchen on the 1st floor, accessible from the terrace, has a fully equipped fitted kitchen with a large, energy-efficient refrigerator and a living area with a tiled stove. The attic serves as a bedroom and has its own toilet. On the ground floor there is another small bedroom, a bathroom with shower, a workshop and the wood-fired heating.
The property is fenced and is therefore ideal for dogs and other pets.
Location & Accessibility
The Rustico in a secluded location is easily accessible by normal car. The approach is largely via a well-asphalted mountain road. The last 800 meters are covered via an unpaved forest road, which is also easily passable. In case of snow (rare), the road is not cleared.
Property & Nature
The property includes 7,500 m² of forest and a 2,500 m² large lean meadow with rich plant and insect diversity. A small, secluded gorge invites you to cool off in the mountain stream in summer.
A natural paradise for young and old as well as pets.
Equipment
The house is self-sufficient. It has a 230V island system for electricity, which was completely renewed in 2022.
Water supply is via a spring located directly under a wooded area.
Hot water, stove and oven are operated with 10kg LPG bottles (central connection in the shed).
Heating: In winter, a wood-fired central heating system provides cosy warmth. In spring and autumn, a tiled stove can be practically operated. For punctual, quick heating (e.g. at the breakfast table), a mobile gas stove is also available.
Homeoffice: Sufficient electricity for laptop and monitor, very good mobile phone reception (Swisscom & Sunrise) are available.
