In Intra, part of Verbania, a few minutes from the center and facing Lake Maggiore, a recently built detached villa is for sale. The position is commanding and the southern exposure brings light through the whole day, with an open view over the lake and the surrounding hills. The design is contemporary, built with attention to construction quality and energy efficiency, and the villa is in as-new condition.
The property spans five levels, served by an internal lift with four stops: around 370 sqm of internal area, for a total commercial area of roughly 1,060 sqm.
On the second basement level, reached directly from the private road through an automated gate, is a garage for several cars, with a storage room and lift access. The first basement level holds an open space currently used as an office with kitchenette, complete with a bathroom and a utility room.
The raised ground floor is given over to the living area, with an eat-in open-plan kitchen and large sliding windows opening onto the panoramic terrace, the heated pool, and the outdoor spaces; a service bathroom completes the level. The first floor holds the sleeping area: three bedrooms, one en-suite, a second bathroom, and two large terraces. The top level is a generously sized terrace with glass balustrades, facing the lake.
The systems are state of the art and controllable remotely through home automation: mechanical ventilation, dehumidification, underfloor heating and cooling across three zones with heat pumps, photovoltaic panels with storage batteries, tanks for hot water and irrigation, provision for electric-car charging points, building-wide Wi-Fi, and video surveillance. A heated pool and automatic irrigation of the green areas complete the property.
The villa is ready to live in, with no work needed, as a main residence or a second home on Lake Maggiore. Verbania reaches its services within minutes; the Swiss border is close, with Lugano about an hour away and Milan Malpensa airport a little beyond.
