Property Description

Located in the heart of Casaccia, this traditional Bregaglia residence combines historic architectural character with contemporary living comfort. Original wood paneling, finely crafted built-ins, solid wood floors, deep-set windows, and carefully preserved details tell the story of the house and lend the interiors an atmosphere that simply cannot be recreated. Modern kitchen and bathroom elements have been sensitively integrated, creating a refined contrast with the home’s original fabric.

Offering approximately 120 sq m of living space across three residential levels, the house comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and generous living and gathering areas. The covered and sheltered seating area at the entrance provides an inviting introduction to the property and extends the living space outdoors during the warmer months.

On the raised ground floor, the living area opens into a historic wood-paneled parlor. Original wall and ceiling paneling, traditional built-in features, and authentic wood flooring define its distinctive ambiance. A cozy dining area blends harmoniously into the room. A traditional wood-burning stove forms another focal point of the living area. Conveniently fueled from the adjoining kitchen, it provides a warm and inviting atmosphere, particularly during the cooler months.

The open kitchen is bright and contemporary, its understated design creating a deliberate contrast with the historic character of the adjoining parlor. Also located on this level is a bathroom with bathtub, washbasin, radiator, toilet, and private washing machine. A window provides natural daylight and ventilation.

An internal staircase leads to the upper floor, where the home’s original character continues to impressive effect. Particularly noteworthy is the exceptionally spacious primary bedroom. Historic wood paneling, original built-ins, wide-plank flooring, and traditional ceiling detailing create a room of remarkable authenticity. This level also includes a smaller single bedroom and a generous hallway with a built-in wardrobe.

The second, modern bathroom features a double vanity, Closomat toilet, radiator, and a spacious glass-enclosed shower. Its bright, understated design integrates seamlessly with the historic architecture.

A further wooden staircase leads from the upper floor to the attic level. Here, a third bedroom features exposed historic beams and built-in wardrobes. This room also provides access to the attic beneath the roof, offering additional storage space.

The outdoor areas provide several inviting places to relax and enjoy the surroundings. In addition to the sheltered seating area by the entrance, the property includes a further garden seating area with a substantial outdoor stone grill—an appealing private retreat with views of the dramatic Bregaglia mountain landscape. Two outdoor parking spaces behind the house complete the offering. Additional storage space and an area for storing firewood are available in the neighboring building, the “Stalla.”

The house is primarily heated electrically through night-storage heaters and electric fan heaters, while hot water is also generated electrically. The wood-burning stove in the living area provides an additional source of heat.

The property may be rented either as a vacation residence or as a primary residence, making it suitable for a variety of living arrangements—from year-round life in the Bregaglia Valley to a personal mountain retreat. Pets are permitted upon request.

Location

Casaccia is situated at approximately 1,458 meters (4,783 feet) above sea level at the upper end of the Bregaglia Valley, directly at the foot of the Maloja Pass. Here, two Alpine worlds converge: the unspoiled landscape of the Bregaglia Valley and the expansive scenery of the Upper Engadin. This distinctive location makes the historic mountain village a natural link between the two regions. Casaccia’s history is closely connected to the ancient Alpine crossings. In addition to the Maloja Pass, the historic Septimer Pass begins here—once an important north-south route across the Alps. Historic buildings and the village’s traditional layout continue to shape its authentic character today. Surrounded by meadows, larch forests, and an impressive mountain backdrop, Casaccia offers direct access to numerous hiking and mountain trails. At the same time, the Upper Engadin is within easy reach: crossing the Maloja Pass takes you to Maloja and Lake Sils within minutes, while down the valley, Vicosoprano, Stampa, Bondo, and Castasegna provide connections toward Chiavenna and Italy. Casaccia thus combines authentic life in the Bregaglia Valley with immediate proximity to the Upper Engadin—a distinctive place to call home for those who value nature, regional identity, and a genuine Alpine setting.
