Just east of Lake Como, this concrete-and-glass residence is a rare example of contemporary architecture in a region still defined by Art Nouveau estates and lakeside tradition.

Designed by Milan architect Annalisa Mauri, the villa spans 750 square meters (approx. 8,070 square feet) across three levels and is structured around a Y-shaped footprint that responds to the slope of the land, framing cinematic views of both lake and mountains.The villa has been chosen by many super-luxury fashion brands as a setting for photo shoots.

Now on the market with Lionard Luxury Real Estate and listed for €8,925,000, the home offers six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a guest annex, and a four-car garage — a quiet trophy for buyers who want Como without the clichés. In a region where centuries-old villas dominate the inventory, finding a newly built home of this scale and design is exceedingly rare.

Inside, the architecture follows a clean directional logic: one wing for living, one for sleeping, and one for water. The main living space is a soaring double-height volume anchored by a 7-meter fireplace, while the kitchen — finished in hand-spatulated black cement by RiFRA — nods to Milanese minimalism. The bedroom wing was deliberately scaled down to create a sense of privacy and retreat.

But it's the wellness wing that makes the strongest impression. A heated indoor pool aligns with its outdoor twin to create the illusion of a single continuous waterline, drawing light through both spaces. There’s also a private spa, solarium, and full smart-home automation — from the pools to the garden’s sound system, every feature can be controlled remotely.

Outside, the 2,200-square-meter (approx. 0.54-acre) garden is a quiet sanctuary framed by fruit trees, mature oaks, and weeping willows. A 92-sqm (990-sq ft) panoramic terrace extends from the main level, offering elevated views across the treetops toward the foothills of the Alps.

While Italy remains a top destination for global luxury buyers, the market has historically favored heritage over modernism. That makes properties like this one — contemporary, architect-designed, and move-in ready — especially appealing to an international clientele used to turnkey living. For American or Northern European buyers accustomed to sleek new builds in cities like Los Angeles, New York, or Zurich, the clean lines and smart-tech integration here feel familiar — but placed in a setting that’s anything but.

The property is set above Lake Alserio, Less than an hour from Milan and just 30 minutes from the Como shoreline, the intersection of two worlds: the heritage-rich Larian Triangle and the greener, wilder Brianza. The region is seeing renewed interest thanks to its privacy, natural beauty, and proximity to Milan’s design scene. Lake Como itself remains one of the most sought-after real estate markets in Italy, especially among international buyers looking for architectural distinction and long-term stability.

Inventory is tight, demand is rising, and properties like this — turnkey, contemporary, and surrounded by nature — are increasingly rare.
