Description

Rif: 21761071-245 Classe energetica: G Elegante villa depoca con giardino privato Porto Ceresio Nel cuore di Porto Ceresio, località tra le più richieste del Lago di Lugano per il turismo internazionale, proponiamo una villa singola di rara versatilità, capace di coniugare fascino storico, ampie metrature e un eccellente potenziale di redditività. Immersa in un giardino privato pianeggiante che abbraccia la proprietà su tutti e quattro i lati, la villa si distingue per leleganza tipica degli anni 20, sapientemente conservata negli esterni, e per una struttura solida già oggetto di importanti interventi di ristrutturazione (tetto rifatto, infissi nuovi). La proprietà si sviluppa su più livelli ed è attualmente suddivisa in due appartamenti indipendenti, serviti da un ingresso e vano scala comuni, oltre a un piano sottotetto agibile e a un fabbricato accessorio nel giardino.

- Piano terra e piano primo: due unità di circa 85 mq ciascuna, entrambe composte da ingresso, soggiorno doppio di generosa metratura, cucina abitabile, camera da letto e bagno. La razionale distribuzione degli spazi consente di ricavare facilmente una seconda camera in ciascun appartamento, aumentando così il valore abitativo e la redditività.

- Piano sottotetto: spazi agibili suddivisi in tre locali oltre a bagno/ripostiglio, ulteriormente valorizzabili secondo le proprie necessità.

- Fabbricato accessorio: attualmente adibito a deposito, perfetto come locale di supporto o da valorizzare ulteriormente. Il

Visa

Digital Nomad Visa — requires remote work for foreign clients/employers, min €28,000/yr net income, and 6 months work experience. Valid 1 year, renewable. Elective Residence Visa — for retirees and those with passive income (€31,000/yr minimum, no work allowed). Both offer a path to long-term residency.

Key Fact

Italy launched its digital nomad visa in 2024, making it much easier for remote workers than the old elective residence route. Italian bureaucracy is notoriously slow (3-6 months processing), so patience and a good immigration lawyer are essential.

Next steps for moving to Italy

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

Know your tax obligations

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
