Casa Rossa - a contemporary masterpiece above Lake Maggiore

Perched above the tranquil shores of Lake Maggiore, this extraordinary residence occupies a privileged south-facing hillside position in Brissago. Nestled at the end of a private cul-de-sac among distinguished villas, it offers absolute privacy with breathtaking views over the lake and surrounding mountains.

The property sits on approximately 1,614 sqm (0.40 acres) of landscaped grounds, featuring a refined Mediterranean garden that captures sun throughout the day and frames the villa’s dramatic modernist architecture. The charming village centre is a ten-minute walk, while Ascona and Locarno are a short drive, with convenient access to Zurich, Milan, and Lugano Airport.

Architecture & Living Spaces:

Spanning five levels and approximately 2,011 sqm (21,646 sq ft), the villa is a study in contemporary design — precise, sculptural, and open. Extensive glazing dissolves the boundary between indoors and outdoors, inviting natural light and the surrounding scenery into every space.

The principal floor features a grand living area of 265 sqm (2,851 sq ft) with multiple seating zones and a formal dining room beneath soaring ceilings. Full-height glass walls open to a 55 sqm (591 sq ft) portico and a striking 14 x 4 metre outdoor pool, blending interior elegance with alfresco living. The adjoining gourmet kitchen is meticulously designed with premium materials and bespoke cabinetry.
