Casa Con Anima – A Retreat in the Bregaglia Valley

In 1996, a former stable was transformed into a charming vacation home that has retained a visible connection to its original character and history. Traditional construction, distinctive wood elements, and a warm Alpine ambiance give the property its unmistakable identity. Nestled within the historic village setting of the Bregaglia Valley, the house embodies the authenticity and simplicity that make a mountain retreat so special. The building’s origins are evident from the moment you arrive: rendered sections of the façade, dark timber, and the traditional architecture of the neighboring houses come together to create a harmonious ensemble. Inside, wood-paneled walls and ceilings, warm natural tones, and an invitingly understated interior continue this authentic atmosphere. The house extends across three levels. The ground floor accommodates the former stable, whose original structure remains clearly recognizable. Today, this generous space serves as a cellar and storage area, providing ample room for bicycles, sports equipment, provisions, and seasonal belongings. The main living level is located on the first floor and is accessed via the characteristic exterior staircase. At its heart is a welcoming living and dining area, where extensive wood detailing and an open fireplace create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The integrated dining area with its traditional corner bench blends naturally into the room and further enhances the home’s cozy character. Directly adjoining the living area is a covered southwest-facing balcony, a sheltered outdoor retreat with delightful views across the historic village setting and toward the surrounding mountains. A retractable awning provides shade when desired, making the balcony a wonderful extension of the living space. A separate, functionally equipped kitchen, two comfortable bedrooms, and a naturally lit bathroom with shower, washbasin, and toilet complete the main living level. Additional space is available in the attic, accessed via a folding staircase. Exposed wooden beams provide another reminder of the building’s heritage, while the area offers valuable additional space for storage and other individual uses. Two outdoor parking spaces located directly on the property complete the offering. A vacation home with history and a distinctive identity—authentic, charming, and pleasantly manageable in scale. An exceptional retreat for those who appreciate the unspoiled character of the Bregaglia Valley, traditional architecture, and the refreshing simplicity of having a home of their own amid the mountains of Graubünden. The property is officially designated as a second residence. Purchase by foreign nationals is permitted. Notary and land registry fees, as well as the real estate transfer tax, are the responsibility of the buyer.
