One of the few villages in Switzerland with a Gated Community is Ascona, where the well-kown architect Frank designed “Smeralda” on behalf of a family.
Using a terraced areal with a beautiful mediterranean garden, the 10 Villas have been placed as a harmonic ensemble within the landscape. All Villas have a marvelous lake view coming along with privacy and the high security of a Gated Community. Already by passing the wrought iron gate and driving along the little private entrance road to your garages, you can enjoy the beautiful sight of lake and mountains.
The different outdoor sitting areas of the two storage Villa allow you to enjoy the spectacular lake view on a sunny spot at any time of the day. A direct link between living-room, open kitchen and terrace creates a unity of indoor and outdoor space and provides a generous ambiance. During cooler evenings the fire-place in the living room will be the perfect hideway to follow the waves of the lake. Bedroom area, placed at first level, displays the typical style-element used by architect Frank “the arch” at several spots and shows materialization in subtle colors, which is used for the complete Villa.
Part of this very well maintained Community is a lake view Pool in sporting dimensions and a attached, covered sitting area. Due to the common usage of garden and recreation area with pool, its not possible to have pets at Smeralda. Rarely a Villa at this exclusive spot is available for sale. Despite the very quiet surrounding of forest and plants, you reach lively Ascona by a 10-15 minutes walk.
