Single house for sale - 6838 Scudellate, Via Caserma

In the fascinating surroundings of the Muggio Valley, which was named "Landscape of the Year 2014" and is considered one of the most authentic and traditional places in the Ticino tourism scene, we offer a significant historic property for sale that has been completely renovated and offers an unobstructed, dominant view of the valley.

This is the former building of the Swiss border guard, located above the small village center of Scudellate and completely renovated in 2008, resulting in a new single-family house in a rustic and elegant style.

The 6.5-room villa extends over 3 floors with a gross living area of 290 square meters:

• 2nd Floor: From the bright entrance hall, you immediately enter the first sleeping area, which is characterized by the original parquet flooring from the past and consists of two large bedrooms, a first bathroom with shower, an elegant master bedroom with a large en-suite bathroom (equipped with a bathtub and shower cabin) and access to a beautiful balcony, ideal for relaxing while enjoying a magnificent view of the greenery.

• 1st Floor: Via a beautiful stone staircase, we reach the first floor, where there is another sleeping area with two bedrooms with a balcony, a bathroom with a shower, a utility room, and a practical laundry room with access to the side garden.

• Ground Floor: On the ground floor, there is a large, bright living room with a fireplace and a separate, rustic kitchen with stone-clad vaulted ceilings. From the living room, you look out onto the beautiful terrace with a covered veranda and private garden, from which you have a magnificent view of the valley and the surrounding mountains.

Since the villa is not directly accessible by car, there is the possibility of parking your vehicle in the village center (only 200 m away).

A property with a lot of charm, which can also be sold as a second home.

Location: At the upper end of the beautiful Muggio Valley (over 900 m above sea level), in the Mendrisiotto region and near the Swiss-Italian border, lies the small village of Scudellate, a remarkable example of a settlement on a steep slope with ancient terraced fields in the valley and meadows uphill.

This charming mountain village in the shadow of Monte Generoso is located just a few kilometers from the major road and rail connections (Chiasso and Mendrisio), but hidden from view by the lush natural landscape in which this valley is embedded.

Although it is a small village with few inhabitants, Scudellate is a dynamic place thanks to the many wonderful activities in the surrounding area, such as the numerous excursions to Monte Generoso or the summit of Bisbino (from where you can admire Lake Como). A traditional meal at the Osteria Manciana, an overnight stay in the magnificent Casa dei Gelsi (a charming apartment in the Albergo Diffuso of Monte Generoso) and in the comfortable village hostel, visiting the historical and cultural sites scattered throughout the valley (including the famous ethnographic museum in Cabbio), tasting wines in cellars and vineyards, or, for the adventurous, mountain biking trails. A true paradise in the midst of unspoiled nature, just waiting to be discovered.
