Country house for sale in Valle Cannobina

Authentic chalet, surrounded by greenery and NOT accessible by car. 

In the heart of the Cannobina Valley, in a private and quiet location (about a 20-minute walk from Cavaglio San Donnino) along the historic Via Borromea, an ancient hiking trail connecting Traffiume to Cavaglio through picturesque chestnut groves, we offer for sale a characteristic complex comprising a detached stone cabin, a stable, and four storage rooms. An ideal property for those seeking a truly authentic mountain experience, away from the hustle and bustle and in close contact with nature. The home retains all the charm of traditional construction, with exposed stone walls, original wooden beams, and a typical mountain kitchen with a stove. The house is spread over two levels: on the ground floor there are two rooms used as storage/cellar, while the first floor features an eat-in kitchen with a fireplace, a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a large attic with excellent potential. The home also features double-glazed windows. The property includes a stable, a storage room, and two other storage rooms, perfect for those needing large additional spaces or wanting to complete a renovation project. Outside, there is an exclusive green area with a large fenced plot of approximately 11,000 square meters, where goats and donkeys once grazed, as well as woods and nature trails. The property is crossed by the historic Via Borromea, an ancient artery traveled for centuries by merchants and pilgrims, which takes its name from San Carlo Borromeo, who traveled along this route in 1574. Running alongside the stream, the path offers views of rare beauty, including waterfalls, ancient stone bridges, and access to the river, where it is possible to swim in the summer. The property is suitable both as a holiday home for mountain lovers and as a primary residence for those seeking a simple, authentic lifestyle immersed in nature. A unique solution, rich in charm and history, ideal for those seeking tranquility, privacy, and the timeless atmosphere of ancient mountain huts.
