Single house for sale - 6653 Verscio, Madòna Di Scalá

Ticino 5½-room villa with swimming pool and private funicular railway from the private parking lot to the house. The property was built in the mid-1960s to 1970s and continuously expanded with great attention to detail. The five plots of land with a total area of 7,437 m² are located on a hillside in the middle of the forest and offer the owner an unparalleled secluded location and wonderful, unobstructed views. Direct access to the property is possible not only via a ten-minute walk but also comfortably via the private funicular railway. This transports two people and plenty of luggage or materials comfortably directly to the villa. The 1,211 m² plot no. 568 with the valley station of the railway also offers space for the construction of a carport with space for up to 5 cars.

The house has two levels with approx. 125 m² of living space. The ground floor offers a living room with a large fireplace made of natural stone. The floor is made of oak parquet. The kitchen and dining area level is two steps higher and has terracotta flooring. The rustic beamed ceiling contributes to the typical Ticino charm of the villa. In the kitchen area, there is currently only an outdated stainless steel kitchenette with a stove and refrigerator, which is no longer up-to-date and also needs to be renewed. On the upper floor, there is a spacious bathroom with WC, double washbasin and bathtub, a separate walk-in shower, as well as bedrooms with oak wood floors. The interior and energy-efficient design of the property no longer meets today's standards; investments/renovations are clearly indicated.

On the level of the swimming pool, there is also a studio with brick vaulted arches. The kidney-shaped swimming pool is made of concrete; the technology (pump, filter) is located in a room under the terrace and was completely renewed 6 years ago. The upper terrace, which is accessible from the kitchen/dining area via a sliding door, has a typical Ticino garden fireplace and a pergola with vines that provide shade and bear grapes in autumn. From this terrace, there is a breathtaking view of the Centovalli and Lake Maggiore, from which the mountain station of the funicular railway is also located; you can thus reach the kitchen/dining area on the same level. The unique location offers the owner absolute peace and the opportunity to unfold freely. The entire complex offers 100% privacy; absolutely no one has a view of the plots of land, thus opening up extraordinary possibilities.

Plots no. 573 & no. 572 themselves are partly park-like, with paths made of natural stone and terraces, their own small stream, and a chapel. There is a stock of various fruit trees, vines and other exotic plants, as well as a large vegetable garden with a garden shed on a lower level; there is also access to a private water source. The property is completely connected to the public sewage system, energy network, telephone network/internet. The lines run under the funicular railway. For the lines and the railway, there is a land register entry for the right of way over the corresponding plots. The water meter and electricity meter are located at the valley station of the funicular railway, which was renewed, tested and accepted by Garaventa in January 2024 and thus reliably transports 250 kg of luggage or material and two people with an electric drive.

The infrastructure of Verscio is very good; the Coop is a 2-minute walk from the house's parking lot, bakery and restaurants within 5 minutes, and the train station is an 8-minute walk away, from which the train to Locarno runs every half hour. Ascona & Locarno can be reached by car in just 10 minutes.
