Single-family house to renovate with beautiful garden, in a sunny south-facing location with stunning lake views

Located on a natural plateau above the lake, in the village of Agra, in a beautiful sunny spot with a view over the central part of Lake Maggiore up to the Monte Rosa massif, this single-family house is just a few minutes' walk from the center and therefore close to shops, the town hall, post office, bus stop, etc.
The house has a total living area of approx. 250 sqm, spread over 3 floors, and is composed as follows: Ground floor: entrance, spacious and bright living room with fireplace, kitchen, 1 bedroom, and a 27 sqm terrace. Basement: living room, kitchen, bedroom, storage room, bathroom, a covered terrace, and 2 cellar rooms. Attic: bedroom, studio, bathroom, and storage room. The plot has a size of about 1,000 sqm.

Agra is a small village with approx. 400 inhabitants about 15 minutes’ drive from Luino. This small village is particularly popular for the magnificent view of Lake Maggiore, the hiking trails "Sentiero del Sole" and "Sentiero della Luna" and for the famous "Sagra della zucca", a popular pumpkin festival.

Lake Maggiore is 64.37 km (40 mi) long, and 3 to 5 km (2 to 3 mi) wide, except at the bay opening westward between Pallanza and Stresa, where it is 10 km (6 mi) wide. It is the longest Italian lake, although Lake Garda has a greater area. Its mean height above the sea level is 193 metres; a deep lake, its bottom is almost everywhere below sea-level: at its deepest, 179 metres below. Its form is very sinuous so that there are few points from which any considerable part of its surface can be seen at a single glance. If this lessens the effect of the apparent size, it increases the variety of its scenery. While the upper end is completely alpine in character, the middle region lies between hills of gentler form, and the lower end advances to the verge of the plain of Lombardy Lake Maggiore is the most westerly of the three great southern prealpine lakes, the others being Lake Como and Lake Garda. The lake basin has tectonic-glacial origins and its volume is 37 cubic kilometres (9 cu mi). The lake has a surface area of about 213 square kilometres (82 sq mi), a maximum length of 54 km (34 mi) (on a straight line) and, at its widest, is 12 km (7 mi). Its main tributaries are the Ticino, the Maggia, the Toce (by which it receives the outflow of Lake Orta) and the Tresa (which is the sole emissary of Lake Lugano). The rivers Verzasca, Gione, and Cannobbino also flow into the lake. Its outlet is the Ticino which, in turn, joins the river Po just south-east of Pavia.
