Plot Cinzia - Collesano Expansive and unspoilt, the huge hillside estate that is Plot Cinzia is a dream for the kind of buyer who is at peace with nature and doesn't back away from a challenge. While the old cottage that currently stands on the southern edge of the plot will need to be rebuilt from scratch, the raw beauty of this Sicilian country land is bursting with possibility. A bird's eye view on the coast The estate spreads over some 20 acres (80,000m2) of countryside on the western edge of the Madonie Natural Park, a few kilometres north of the picturesque little village of Collesano. The land slopes down towards the bottom of a valley which feeds into the Tyrrhenian Sea at the coastal town of Campofelice di Roccaella. The majority of the estate is woodland, home to a diverse range of trees and wildlife. The emptier pastures open up on the lower slopes to give a fabulous view of the sea in the middle distance, 8 kilometres away and about 400m downhill. The two existing buildings on the land are 100m2 and 40m2 respectively. You could work off this footprint, but the size of the pot means that the option would be available to create a much larger villa, complete with a guest house and swimming pool. Haven of biodiversity You will find the soil fertile, with olive oil produced from trees in this region considered to be of particularly high quality. There are over a hundred olive trees on the plot at present, and one could easily imagine a buyer adding many more. You will also find a wide variety of trees and bushes, many of which bear fruit and nuts of all varieties. The land is home to numerous species of bird as well as hares, lizards and small mammals. There is already a well on the land, and you would certainly be able to achieve true sustainability and energy independence if you were to invest in solar panels to power and heat your new home. Lesws than half an hour to the beach While the drive into Collesano is no more than six or seven minutes, you will also find it very easy to reach the towns at sea level. Both Campofelice and Lascari have lovely stretches of coastline, and the famous resort of Cefalù is only a 35 minute drive. Palermo and its international airport can be reached in an hour.

At one end is a little hydromassage corner for the days when you want to take things a little easier.

It has an additional bedroom and also a kitchen, meaning that your visitors can be as autonomous as you like – and also helping with the option of holding big dinner parties out here. Maybe a family Christmas feast?

Sea View Project - Collesano A partially completed hilltop villa offering panoramic views across olive groves to the Tyrrhenian Sea, Sea View Project is situated midway between Collesano and Lascari on Sicily's north coast. The structure and land The load-bearing structure was completed around 1995 and covers approximately 150m² across two floors – 100m² on the ground floor and 48m² on the first floor. Internal heights reach 4 metres at the ridge, and large openings provide excellent natural light. Both upstairs rooms have sea view balconies. The internal layout is completely flexible as only partition walls remain to be installed. The plot extends to nearly 18,000m² of unfenced land currently planted with olive, almond and peach trees alongside Mediterranean scrub. The terrain slopes from 280m to 260m above sea level, with the steeper front section suitable for terracing and the gentler slopes ideal for cultivation. Location and access The property lies along the SP128 road connecting Lascari (5–7 minutes) to Collesano (20 minutes). Cefalù and its beaches are 20 minutes west, whilst Palermo and its international airport are an hour away. Access is via a dirt road requiring some basic repairs. The position offers total privacy with no direct neighbours, just rolling countryside and that exceptional view north across the Gulf of Termini Imerese. Completion requirements All systems need to be installed from scratch, giving complete design freedom for water, electricity, heating, cooling and photovoltaic systems. Completion to a high standard would require approximately £200,000, addressing visible damp from weather exposure, installing all infrastructure, and fitting out to your specification. A swimming pool would cost an additional £30,000. The property shows no obvious structural damage despite decades of exposure, though terrace subsidence on the left side requires assessment during renovation.

One of these has a kitchen and a sleeping area, the other a living room and a bathroom with a shower.

The latter, while officially an outbuilding, has a French window and a lovely sea view. Grow your own olives and grapes The estate spans 10,000m2 of quiet hillside land. Around fifty percent of this estate is given to a huge vineyard, now somewhat overgrown but which has the potential to be regenerated and produce a fulsome crop of grapes every harvest season. Of the remaining land, much is given to an olive grove, where approximately 350 mature trees yield 600 litres of premium quality oil every year. The whole of the estate is classified as agricultural land, which means that you could raise livestock as well as growing any kind of fruit or vegetables here if you chose. An opportunity to develop and build The land's size would allow for the construction of a new home measuring up to 110m2, if you have the means to do so. It would certainly offer a spellbinding view, as well as a practical base from which to oversee the growth and collection of the fruit. A neighbouring plot is anticipated to come on the market in the very near future, giving the opportunity to expand the holding even further.
