Ref. ILO3078.1
On the shores of Lake Como, bordering the historic village of Colonno, BHHS Palazzo Estate is pleased to present for sale a traditional lakeside house dating back to the mid-19th century. It is an authentic expression of local architectural heritage. The property is arranged over three levels plus an attic floor, offering a total area of approx. 383 sqm (4,122 sq.ft.), and enjoys a direct waterfront position with open views across the lake and surrounding landscape.
Direct lake access, immediate proximity to the private boat moorings and the public ferry dock, together with its distinguished lakefront setting, render this property a rare offering. The residence requires restoration; however, a thoughtful and cohesive rehabilitation plan would reestablish the prominence of its 19th-century architectural features. A comprehensive redevelopment study has been prepared by MAD COMO - Design Engineering (purchase + , outlining a turnkey investment of €2,600,000.00. The published renderings illustrate a design vision that harmonizes historical character with contemporary living standards.
The ground floor features a spacious open-concept living area distinguished by vaulted stone ceilings, preserving the original character and structural integrity of the period. From this level, one accesses a small exterior space with direct entry to the lake, a highly desirable attribute that establishes an immediate connection to the water. An internal staircase crafted in Moltrasio stone leads to the first floor, presently configured into three generously proportioned rooms with dual exposures toward both the lake and the rear village. A walk-in fireplace with built-in lakefront seating, two additional period fireplaces, traditional graniglia flooring with an inlaid lake-stone medallion, and preserved 19th-century construction details collectively attest to the residence’s historical significance.
The upper level accommodates the current sleeping quarters, comprising a primary bedroom with a private sitting room, two additional bedrooms, and one bathroom. The attic level, illuminated by windows facing both the lake and the village, presents a broad open-plan space with ceiling heights exceeding 3 meters and exposed timber beams, offering compelling potential for functional reinterpretation while respecting the original architectural framework.
The property benefits from favorable sun exposure throughout the day and commands views of notable landmarks including Isola Comacina and Punta del Balbianello. Covered parking spaces are available for purchase within a nearby private multi-level garage facility. Limited access for small vehicles is permitted for brief stops at the entrance via the pedestrian lanes of the historic village.
