Description
Beautiful plot in a sunny and panoramic location with a wonderful open view of the valley and the mountains.
The quiet and relaxing location at the end of a secondary access road guarantees a lot of privacy and security and the area is very well illuminated by the sun for a large part of the day.
The land borders on a forest and has a total area of approx. 350 m2.
The Master Plan permits the maximum building of approx. 140 m2 SUL (gross living area).
An outline plan has already been prepared for the construction of an adjoining house with a gross living area of approx. 139 m2 (approx. CHF 700'000).
Municipality description
Rovio is a charming village in the Mendrisiotto region which, thanks to its outstanding landscape qualities and the historical value of its historic core, is listed as a site of national importance in the Swiss Federal Inventory of Protected Built Heritage Sites (ISOS). The village retains an authentic and harmonious character and is set within a particularly attractive natural environment. A walk through the narrow streets of the historic centre leads to Piazza Fontana at the entrance to the village, the parish church of Saints Vitale and Agata, and the 17th-century church of Santa Maria Assunta. The centre also features elegant historic residences, fountains carved from ancient Roman sarcophagi, and the picturesque square facing the former town hall—elements that reflect the village’s rich historical and architectural heritage. Today, Rovio is appreciated as a quiet and family-friendly residential location, offering a safe environment, a strong sense of community and close contact with nature, while still benefiting from good transport connections and access to services in nearby centres. Following the municipal merger in 2022, Rovio now forms part of the municipality of Val Mara, together with Melano and Maroggia. Rovio has 789 inhabitants and is situated at an elevation of 497 metres above sea level.
