2 Bed Barn for sale
Musso, Como, Lombardy, Italy
Full Description
Less than five minutes on foot from the shores of Lake Como, this charming independent farmhouse represents a rare opportunity to restore an authentic property in a peaceful setting, surrounded by its own private garden and enjoying beautiful lake views from both levels.
Arranged over two floors, with approximately 80 sqm of interior space, the property currently offers two rooms on each level and retains the simple, genuine character of a traditional Lake Como rural building. The interiors require complete renovation, providing the opportunity to rethink the spaces entirely and create a home tailored to individual needs and style.
Adding considerably to its potential, the property also benefits from approximately 200 cubic metres of additional available volume, which may offer the possibility of extending the existing farmhouse, subject to the necessary planning permissions and applicable regulations. This represents a particularly valuable opportunity to increase the living accommodation while preserving the character and intimate scale of the original building.
One of the property's most distinctive features is its setting. The farmhouse stands independently within a generous private garden extending both in front of and behind the building, creating attractive outdoor areas that could be landscaped and transformed into spaces for relaxing, dining and enjoying life outdoors.
The views are particularly appealing: Lake Como can be enjoyed from both the ground and first floors, while the upper level benefits from a wonderful flat terrace overlooking the lake and surrounding mountains — an exceptional setting for an outdoor lounge or dining area.
With its relatively compact dimensions, the property offers an interesting opportunity for those approaching a renovation project on Lake Como for the first time. Rather than the complexity of restoring a large villa or estate, this farmhouse provides a more manageable-scale project, while the additional available volume offers further flexibility for developing the property according to individual requirements.
The location combines privacy with convenient proximity to the lake. The beach and waterfront can be reached in less than five minutes on foot, while public parking is available nearby.
The property has pedestrian access only and no direct vehicular access.
Authentic, independent and surrounded by greenery, this is a property for those who see the potential beyond its current condition: a complete renovation project with the opportunity to create and potentially expand an intimate Lake Como home, where character, garden and wonderful views come together just a few minutes from the water.
Please note that one of the images included in the photo gallery is an architectural rendering, created solely to illustrate the potential of the property following renovation. The image is purely indicative and does not represent an existing or approved project; no renovation or development plans are currently approved for the property. The concept has been conceived with respect for the traditional architectural character and materials of the area, with the sole purpose of helping prospective buyers visualise one of the many ways in which the house could potentially be transformed. Any future renovation, extension or alteration would be subject to the relevant planning regulations and necessary authorisations.
