A few days ago I was strolling through the large rooms of the famous Ex-Helmut Horten Estate, checking if all was perfect (WETAG is managing the property on behalf of the owners who wish to sell). Outside, the gardens were immaculate as always, inside, the room temperature was perfect. I sat in the reception room, turned on the stereo letting the music fill the air though the vast entry hall, feeding the villa with life. Whilst I waited for the next owners’ butler to come in and offer me a drink, my eye wandered to this magical view of Southern Ticino’s rolling hills. I said to myself: “This is unique, really unique.” I realized that I probably never had a similar property to offer - a true estate: The villa, with a staff apartment house, and a third building consisting of 11 suites and 7 meeting rooms, elegantly set in its own park, all of this furnished with an exquisite taste, ready to move in.
Hey! It could suite a private person in need for a lot of space, that’s how it was thought. But, it could also be a beauty spa in Switzerland or a hedge fund, or even better a company with its headquarters in Switzerland, so many could the purposes be, no other estate compares to it - let alone one where you can move in right away.
I turned off the music, shut the doors and while slowly driving down the private driveway, I thought to myself: Today few people build this way, what a pleasure it must be for the next owner. It truly is a jewel and one of a kind!
