Significant Contemporary Mediterranean-style Villa Sold on the Spot by Wetag Consulting

A symphony of architecture, an idyllic setting, breathtaking views, absolute serenity, a mild climate, Swiss security and the much sought after Mediterranean lifestyle, all in one: a fabulous villa which embodies excellent modern living with superb flow to private alfresco areas overlooking Lake Maggiore and the spectacular Swiss alps.

This stunning Mediterranean masterpiece is located in the southern Swiss canton of Ticino, a region renown for the famous lakes and mountains, but also for its palm trees, vineyards and camellias as well as for its warm Mediterranean climate, in the very heart of Europe (Milan and its international airports are an hour away). But foreigners are not only attracted by the beauty of this unique region: security, business opportunities, a solid education system (including renown international schools), lump sum tax laws, sanity, and financial stability namely are a big part of the appeal for buyers.

This exceptional property, designed by renowned architect Erhard Schmid, features granite and parquet floors, oversized walls of glass and soaring wood ceilings which draw attention to the open and airy 500 square meters (5380 square feet) living area overlooking the stunning scenery. The villa is set on a majestic 1866 square meters (20078 square feet) terraced park, which is landscaped in an italianate style.

A sumptuous entrance hall leads to the main living area which, with its two storey windows, offers sensational views of the shimmering lake at any time of day or night. The eye is drawn to the impressive curved wooden volume ceilings, to the cutting edge fire place and to the generous internal gallery overlooking the whole area. An exquisite gourmet kitchen boosting stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, and anything a chef could dream of, an elegant entertaining area, and two large open studios, complete the main floor. From the entrance hall, a grand staircase and a lift lead to the first floor, where three bedrooms with luxurious bathrooms and an open study offer the very best setting for relaxing and for family entertaining.

The spacious garden floor presents two further lovely bedrooms with bathrooms, a 40 square meter (430 square feet) multi-purpose foyer, a stunning wine cellar, plus many other amenities, and opens up to the phenomenal outdoor entertaining areas overlooking the lake, which include a large heated pool, a beautiful spa, gracious fountains, an outdoor kitchen equipped for the best barbeque, and the most exclusive of lighting systems, which enhances the whole property with spectacular light effects at dusk.

This rare property was sold by Wetag Consulting, the exclusive affiliate of Christie's International Real Estate in the South of Switzerland, as soon as it was listed on their portfolio.

Ueli Schnorf and Maurice Elst, the two owners of Wetag Consulting, commented: “This is one of those properties that just can’t get any better. In fact, it didn’t stay listed on our portfolio for long at all: it was pretty much sold right on the spot! Such things happened when properties are outstanding and the pricing is realistic.”
