5 Bed Apartment for sale
San Siro, Como, Lombardy, Italy
Full Description
Located in a charming hamlet above the municipality of San Siro, about 6 km from the lake and town center, this cluster of small village houses offers an authentic atmosphere, breathtaking views over Lake Como, and complete tranquility.
The properties are nestled in the heart of the historic center of the hamlet, which is pedestrian-only (approximately 50 meters from the nearest public parking), and surrounded mostly by second homes. This is an ideal solution as a holiday retreat or a base to explore the lake.
The main house is habitable but would benefit from some renovation and modern updates. The two adjacent stone rusticos require complete restoration.
The main house is spread across three levels:
Ground Floor:
A private patio leads into the house, opening onto a spacious living room featuring a large traditional fireplace with original stone seating — a charming reminder of times past. On this level, you'll also find a generous eat-in kitchen, also with an original fireplace, and a bathroom. The living area enjoys stunning lake views.
First Floor:
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, all with lake views, and a bathroom with a bathtub. The views from this level are equally impressive. The floors are finished with traditional Lombard terracotta, well-preserved and full of character.
Basement Level:
Beautiful vaulted stone cellars offer plenty of space for storage, a wine cellar, or creative renovation into additional usable areas.
Also on this level is the first rustico, enjoying exceptional lake views and arranged over three levels with one room per floor. Below, on the terraced land, is a small stone "crotto" — compact in size, but with a private garden and panoramic views.
The properties are accessible only on foot, and the use of a car is essential given the location. The lake is not reachable on foot (a walking route would take approximately 1 hour and 36 minutes). However, the peace, privacy, and sweeping views offered by this position make it a rare opportunity for those seeking a more authentic Lake Como experience, away from the crowds.
