Villa Chesa Piz Mezdi Celerina

From the outside, this stunning property dating from 1962, painstakingly renovated from the ground up in 2016, appears to be an impressively grand detached residence with lovely grounds. Yet this is a deliberate understatement. Or, as the English would say, the

ultimate in understatement– because, on closer inspection, you are quickly aware of the sheer exclusivity of this rare prospect.

Extending to 3,120 square meters of grounds, this exceptional residence is set in very leafy surroundings with a beautiful stock of well-established trees and benefits from an unrivalled position on the eastern perimeter of the village, directly on the river Inn– an absolutely ideal location. The views overlooking the mountains are unobstructable, with the magnificent plains of the Inn opening out before you and the river working its uplifting magic with every glance outside. The encore is the view of the San Gian church and the Muottas Muragl peak– and all of it still within easy reach of the shops, restaurants, the Margus-Corviglia ski region, and public transport, accessible in a matter of minutes on

foot.

In short, the perfect place to spend your holiday. Those who fall head over heels in love with the region and never want to leave can look forward to another pleasant surprise when they register here as their main residence: with a tax base rate of just 50 per cent, it lies in second place in terms of tax rankings for the canton of the Grisons.

Nevertheless, the decision to stay has another good reason for making this your home: the exquisitely renovated villa– boasting in excess of 400 square meters of superbly finished gross overall floor space, another 160 square meters of predominantly exclusively furbished ancillary space, not to mention captivating exterior spaces– has literally everything that even the most demanding of connoisseur’s hearts could desire.

During the course of the lavish restoration project undertaken in 2016 all the boxes were ticked, combining traditional alpine homeliness with modern conveniences to create a retreat in a class of its own– a place you immediately feel at home in.

Despite the impressive catalogue of features including two reception rooms with fireplaces, seven bedrooms, five wet-rooms, a large garage for four cars, plus a wellness zone with a heated indoor pool and sauna, the lifestyle on offer here is distinctly relaxed– largely due to the ideal layout and the optimal size of the rooms. Everything here is refined, with no compromises made whatsoever. All in all, a contemporary living dream for

those used to the finer things in life looking to enjoy an elegant standard of living with state-of-the-art infrastructure.

Each room here has its own distinctive character, finished with a fine eye for detail.

Furthermore, because no concessions have been made in terms of the material finishes– from the wine-cellar with its separate cooling zones for white and red wine, to the designer kitchen in wood and concrete, to the house bar in the sitting room of the master suite, right up to the smallest wet-room in the loft under the eaves– everything is of the finest quality, making for a harmonious haven with a diversity of recreational spaces to retreat to.

This standard of quality has been extended to the exteriors, including the beautiful terrace and the enchanting patio in front of it– and, equally, to the technical infrastructure, which includes an eco-neutral pellet heating system, alarm system with exterior video-cameras, remotely controlled central heating, plus fire alarm: everything here in this alpine holiday retreat and residential paradise is of the highest order.
