Description
Beautiful building plot in a particularly quiet and sunny location, on the edge of the charming historic centre of Melano, next to the monumental Church of Sant'Andrea. A unique setting that combines the historical character of the village with the convenience of having the lake, the public lido, the railway station and all essential amenities within easy reach.
The property offers an outstanding opportunity to develop a project in a location of exceptional charm, where the picturesque historic centre, Lake Lugano and the Monte Generoso create a unique and highly attractive living environment. Excellent road and rail connections also allow Lugano and Chiasso to be reached in approximately 15 minutes, making this an ideal location both for a primary residence and for an attractive real estate investment.
The property extends over a total area of approx. 10’188 m2, including a flat building plot of approx. 2’410 m2 with a maximum Gross Floor Area (GFA) of approx. 1’446 m2, as well as an extensive woodland area that provides privacy and a beautiful natural setting.
A distinctive feature of the property is the historic Casa Spinedi, built in 1883, an elegant building of historical and architectural significance that is intended to be carefully restored and enhanced as part of the future development. The property also includes an additional outbuilding that complements the overall property.
A preliminary development study has already been prepared, providing for an elegant residential development comprising 11 residential units: the restoration of Casa Spinedi with 3 apartments, the conversion of the outbuilding into 2 studio apartments, the construction of a new building with 6 apartments, and an underground parking garage.
A rare opportunity to create an exceptional residential development where history, nature and quality of life come together in perfect harmony.
Municipality Description
Melano is a pleasant lakeside village located on the shores of Lake Lugano at the foot of Monte Generoso and today forms part of the municipality of Val Mara. The area offers a highly appreciated quality of life thanks to the presence of all main services, good transport connections to Mendrisio and Lugano and its proximity to the Italian border. The origins of Melano date back to at least the year 799, when the village was mentioned as Mellano. During the Middle Ages it served as an important lakeside harbour, and the municipal coat of arms depicts the lake, the Castellaccio - whose ruins are still visible today - and the Nisciölin, a small dormouse symbolising the local territory. Today Melano is also known for its popular public lido with a sandy beach as well as for its commitment to sustainable development and energy efficiency. The setting combines historical character with practical everyday living, making the village an increasingly sought-after residential location. Melano, since 2022 part of the municipality of Val Mara together with Maroggia and Rovio, has 1'538 inhabitants and is situated at an elevation of 282 metres above sea level.
