Residence for sale - Cefalù RBS60909

Casetta nel Bosco - CefalùIn the hills outside the iconic beach town of Cefalù, Casetta nel Bosco offers a buyer who won't shy away from a renovation project the chance to own a sea-view home with a very large garden in a beautiful, quiet spot.Renovate or rebuildThe cottage as it stands consists of a 60m2 main house, with one bedroom, a living room, kitchen, study and bathroom. Alongside this is a 15m2 wooden shed. The foundations of the main building have begun to move, and this has caused instability of the front wall and cracking at the rear. In addition the roof needs to be redone. Bearing this in mind, we see the most cost-effective move in the long term as being a demolition and new build. You would be able to use the existing footprint of both buildings, giving you a larger two-bedroom home. Alternatively you may be able to find a solution to save the existing cottage, which would obviously be cheaper.OVER 1,300M2 of hillside woodlandGiven the condition of the building, the plot and its position are the real attractions here. The large patch of land is naturally beautiful, with views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, just over a kilometre away and 300m downhill, through the green canopy of trees and foliage. Standing on a little-used country lane with few close neighbours, you are buying peace and seclusion in a spot which, thanks to the leafy shade and sea breeze, has a very comfortable climate all year round.The famous beach town of Cefalù is reachable in just ten minutes by car, and it lives up to its lofty reputation. The cobbled streets of its Medieval old town lead you past atmospheric piazzas and alleyways before bringing you to the spectacular square on which stands the town's unique Arab-Norman cathedral, a unesco world Heritage Site. In the new town, a fabulous two kilometre strip of golden sand offers a spectacular view of the town's unique skyline, with the twin towers of the cathedral in the shadow of the mountainous outcrop known as La Rocca.For a full description of the property please visit our website Show all Show less
