Recently restoration work performed on original 1600's structure, thanks to an extraordinary renovation project that has crafted residential accommodation of exquisite beauty with frescoes, ancient courtyards, 12 hectares of park and enchanting views, both exclusive, private and secure. Come and enjoy a private ‘renaissance’ surrounded by nature and steeped in history, all just a short distance from Milan, Como and the Swiss border.
The castle compound has two primary buildings, the castle proper and the cascine (a cascine could be likened to a barn or stable which would have housed livestock and castle workers). According to our broker, the castle proper is 80% - 90% complete with its renovation. The renovation of the cascine has not yet begun. The asking price of 13 million euro is for the castle in its current status. However, there is also an asking price of 15 million euro to have the restoration of both buildings completed according to the master plan. Estimated time to complete is 6 months to 1 year.
The background on why the renovation was not completed, is that the general contractor in charge of the renovation went into bankruptcy. The castle has been placed under the control of the bankruptcy trustee to secure monies from the sale in favor of unpaid debts to subcontractors. Needless to say, a sale of the castle is greatly desired and would benefit a number of people.
