Storica Dimora Leventinese: Tradizione e Natura

Calpiogna is located at 1,200 meters above sea level, on the sunniest side of the Leventina Valley, an east–west oriented valley. It lies halfway between the Carì ski resort and the valley floor, both reachable within 10 minutes, and is well connected by railway and motorway, allowing access to Milan or Zurich in approximately two hours.

The village is crossed by the famous “Strada Alta”, the ancient route used by people crossing the Alps, which connects all the typical hillside villages. From here, numerous hiking trails depart, suitable for walking, cycling, or horseback riding, immersed in stunning natural surroundings with forests, waterfalls, and alpine lakes. The area offers a wide range of sports activities, both in winter and summer, including climbing and paragliding.

The house is a typical Leventina residence dating back to the late 1600s, built of stone and wood with a traditional stone slab roof (“piode”). The façade of the wing added later bears the engraved date 1721.

The roof was renovated approximately 20 years ago and is in excellent condition. The interiors have been completely renovated and restored over recent years: the electrical and plumbing systems have been entirely redone, as well as the bathrooms and kitchen, while the remaining rooms have been carefully restored to preserve the original atmosphere.

At street level there are two cellars, one of which is accessible from the kitchen and used as a laundry room, plus a third small cellar used as storage.

The ground floor is accessed from the fenced garden and includes the entrance hall, a fully equipped kitchen (with electric stove and wood-burning stove), a living room with a traditional restored and fully functional stone stove (“pigna”), the master bedroom, a hallway, and a bathroom with a shower area.

The first floor is accessed via a staircase and features three additional spacious bedrooms, a study/guest room, and a second bathroom.

The attic is used as storage space.

The property also includes a covered porch usable all year round and two private parking spaces.

The house borders the public parking area and the post bus stop. It is suitable both as a primary residence and as a secondary home, and also offers excellent potential as a holiday home or B&B investment.

The adjacent plot is buildable (R2 zone, “outside the historic core”), currently used as a garden with vegetable patch and orchard. It is already equipped with water and electricity connections and includes a woodshed/storage building.
