Buy real estate on Lake Maggiore: The rustico presents itself romantically

With real estate agent Engel & Völkers in Ascona, you can buy picturesque, romantic properties on Lake Maggiore, such as a rustico. Rustici were once functional houses mainly used for agriculture in Ticino. Traditionally, Ticino builders used sturdy granite stone for the walls and roof of a farmhouse. This not only provides these houses with special stability but also ensures that they blend visually with the impressive mountain landscape. The rustici available on Lake Maggiore today reflect this romantic architecture. Inside, however, many of these properties surprise with high-quality or even luxurious furnishings that meet the latest standards. It is precisely this contrast between the rustic architecture, the romantic flair, and the high-tech furnishings that is so inspiring. Discover your ideal rustico on Lake Maggiore with us as your real estate agent, whether as a fascinating vacation home or a dreamlike permanent residence.

The special vacation home: buying a unique rustico on Lake Maggiore

A rustico with its stone structure and cozy wooden shutters stands in a quiet, secluded location. A wide view over the countryside or perhaps even a breathtaking lake view enhance the feeling of peace and relaxation everywhere in the house or on the terrace. A small stream babbles past the house or the rustico is situated at a high altitude on one of the mountains surrounding Lake Langensee. Rustici can also be found in the villages or directly on the shores of Lake Maggiore. As a second home for vacations or weekends, the rustico is one of the most popular properties on Switzerland's Lake Maggiore. This is because these original farmhouses convey a very special feeling of down-to-earthness and comfort. This makes them the ideal properties on Lake Maggiore for enjoying a break from everyday life. Depending on the location and furnishings, such a house exudes its own individual charm. Some converted rustici are luxurious villas with interiors that offer every amenity. However, you can also buy a rustic on Lake Maggiore in the style of a historic country house. Warm wood is an ideal complement to cool stone. Incidentally, these natural materials fit in perfectly with the beautiful landscape and Mediterranean vegetation of Lake Maggiore.

Buying Lake Maggiore real estate: a rustico as an investment

When you buy unique properties on Lake Maggiore, such as a rustico on an elevated hillside, you are purchasing a dream vacation home. With an unobstructed panoramic view of the lake and the opposite shore, a rustico is not only an incomparable vacation home with flair, but also an interesting investment. In most cases, these properties are located in prime or select, picturesque locations for which planning permission would hardly be granted nowadays. A lakeside rustico can therefore easily have the market value of a luxury property. As the demand for individual properties in prime locations exceeds the supply on Lake Maggiore, an increase in value on resale can also be assumed. A traditionally built granite rustico also boasts stability that can last for centuries. Modernized rustici with a photovoltaic system or biowastewater treatment plant also protect the environment and provide upscale, contemporary living comfort. The purchase prices for a rustico on Lake Maggiore in Switzerland vary as widely as the features of these country houses. The price of a rustico ranges from that of a small detached house to that of a luxury villa. Incidentally, some rustici are so large that they can be divided into attractive apartments. With us as your real estate agent in Ascona, you can find attractive apartments or apartments in the historic houses with different living spaces. Would you prefer to buy your rustico directly on Lake Maggiore so that you can easily reach the beach on foot? Or do you prefer a traditional rustico in a quiet, secluded location in the expansive mountain landscape? Our expert real estate agents at Engel & Völkers in Ascona will be happy to show you where you can buy your own personal rustico on Lake Maggiore.
