A truly exceptional property. An irreplaceable setting. A rare opportunity to create an extraordinary private residence on Lake Como.Set on the prestigious hillside of Cernobbio, one of the most exclusive and sought-after locations on Lake Como, this charming early-20th-century lakeside residence represents a rare opportunity to create a truly unique home in one of Italy’s most coveted destinations.Perched above the lake, the property enjoys a breathtaking panoramic outlook over Lake Como and the surrounding landscape, creating an extraordinary sense of privacy and serenity.It is precisely this combination of location, views, greenery and potential that makes the property so special and difficult to replicate.The residence extends over approximately 200 sq m and retains the character and distinctive charm of a traditional early-1900s Lake Como home. The property is currently in need of a complete renovation, offering the future owner the exceptional opportunity to create a bespoke residence while preserving the spirit and architectural identity of the original building.Surrounding the house is a private garden of approximately 700 sq m — an increasingly rare privilege in such a prestigious hillside location. The grounds offer the possibility of creating beautifully landscaped outdoor areas, private terraces, elegant entertaining spaces and secluded corners from which to enjoy the ever-changing panorama of the lake.Within the grounds is also a small independent guest cottage, another particularly charming feature of the property. Once restored, it could become an intimate guest house, private studio or independent accommodation for family and guests.A Rare Blank Canvas on Lake ComoThe true value of this property lies in its extraordinary potential.Rather than offering a finished residence, this is the opportunity to create one from the ground up, tailored entirely to the vision and lifestyle of its future owner.The house is being offered in its current condition and requires a complete renovation.
