Century Castle Panoramic View of the lake, 27 bedrooms in Lesa - Lake Maggiore

Historic Castle in Lesa – A Rare Investment Opportunity on Lake Maggiore.

Amid the enchanting landscape of Lake Maggiore, in the elegant town of Lesa, stands a majestic historic castle, originally built in 1778 and later refined in 1880.

With a total area of approximately 1,300 sqm, surrounded by a private park of 15,000 sqm, the property offers an atmosphere of absolute tranquility and exclusivity — just steps from the picturesque town center.

Architecture and Restoration

The main building underwent a careful restoration in the 1990s, including a new roof, updated heating system, and glass verandas. The result is a perfect balance between historic grandeur and contemporary comfort.

The castle features 27 rooms, including grand halls adorned with frescoes and Venetian terrazzo floors, and a bright salon with a veranda overlooking the garden.

The basement level preserves vaulted wine cellars and a limonaia (citrus greenhouse), both in excellent condition, maintaining ideal temperature and humidity for wine storage.

This level also includes a natural artesian well and access to a romantic water grotto, seamlessly connecting the interior to the surrounding park.

Living Spaces

Ground floor: spacious, light-filled reception rooms ideal for private gatherings and corporate events.

First floor: four elegant ensuite bedrooms providing comfort and privacy.

Attic floor: a private owner’s apartment with a terrace adjoining the tower, including a living room, kitchen, study, and two bedrooms with bathrooms.

Additional Building

Within the estate lies a secondary structure of over 520 sqm — the former 18th-century stables, entirely to be restored.

This building offers immense development potential and could be converted into:

guest apartments,

a wellness or spa area,

or event spaces and garages (with four car spaces currently available).

The Park

The private 1.5-hectare park is beautifully maintained, featuring century-old trees, a fountain, a water grotto, and historic greenhouses for citrus cultivation, directly connected to the main building.

The estate ensures complete privacy and offers partial lake views, framed by its majestic, centuries-old trees.

Investment Potential

Castello Lesa offers exceptional flexibility and investment value, making it ideal for transformation into:

an elegant boutique hotel with historical character,

a refined event venue for private or corporate functions (up to 200 guests),

a high-end gastronomic complex,

or a prestigious private residence or residential compound.

The property combines heritage, privacy, and potential, standing as one of the most captivating investment opportunities on Lake Maggiore.

Price is negotiable.

Castello Lesa is more than a property —

it is a place where history, elegance, and vision converge on the timeless shores of Lake Maggiore.
