About this place

Nestled along the western shore of Lake Idro, the Casa d'Idro offers a remarkable opportunity to own a piece of history. Dating back to the 15th century, the cottage features traditional architectural elements, including a ground floor with a portico, typical stables, and storerooms, while the first floor is made up of living quarters and additional versatile spaces that can be reimagined according to your vision.

The property is set in a panoramic and sunny location, surrounded by fir trees and picturesque alpine villages. While its agricultural roots have shifted over the years, the grounds still reflect care with maintained grazing areas, an orchard, and a vegetable garden. The current owners have preserved the building well, ensuring it remains in good condition while maintaining family traditions.

Due to its rich history and well-kept state, the cottage presents numerous possibilities for functional recovery. It could serve as a tourist accommodation, restaurant, or even residential space, with potential for modern renovations to accommodate new purposes. Here, at the splendid Lake Idro, this historic estate awaits new stories to unfold.

Buying property in Italy

Full guide →

Italy is open to most foreign buyers under reciprocity rules (EU/EEA buyers always; non-EU buyers from countries with bilateral agreements, which covers the UK, US, Canada, Australia and most major markets). A codice fiscale is required, and a notaio handles the conveyance as a neutral public official. An independent lawyer or geometra is strongly recommended for due diligence.

  • The €1 home schemes in southern villages are real but come with strict renovation deadlines (typically 3 years) and security deposits.

  • Non-resident mortgages from Italian banks are available but limited (typically 50–60% LTV).

The prima casa (primary residence) tax rate of 2% requires you to declare residency in the same comune within 18 months of completion — failure means back-taxes plus penalties.

General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
