Villa Emanuela - TrabiaSpacious and beautifully presented, villa emanuela is a detached three-bedroom family home outside Trabia in the province of Palermo. Just 800m from the nearest beach as the crow flies, you can enjoy a sea view from the sunny terraces, the best of which has been created using the entire flat roof of the single storey property.Three bedrooms and some great family spacesThe floor plan is typically Sicilian, with one end of the house used in the daytime, and the other at night. The former includes a roomy entrance hall and a very large kitchen-diner, where you can soak up the sunshine that comes from the large south-facing window. The three bedrooms can all sleep two people, although one of them is currently being used as a study.The sun room was once an uncovered portico which was glazed on three sides. This has created a fabulous space to use all year round, with the windows open in summer and closed to keep the heat in during the short Sicilian winters.Walking distance from the beachAlthough the area is very rural, and you certainly won't feel nearly as on top of your neighbours as you can in the residences and more intensive developments nearer to the beach, the road to the seaside is just 1.4km. If that feels too far on a hot day, you can cover the ground in minutes on a bike or by car.The property is also conveniently located for Sicily's most important motorway, which connects Palermo in the east with Messina in the west. The location is really ideal for a buyer who wants to explore everything Sicily has to offer, with nowhere on the island more than a three hour drive away.In great condition for year-round useThe property is extremely energy efficient, with solar panels to generate electricity and heat water on the roof, and recently installed windows to insulate the interior. The south-facing windows and sun room are great for catching the warmth of the sun even on a winter's day, and as a final comfort, all of the rooms have gas-powered radiators.In the summer, you'll love the air conditioners distributed throughout, and the shade offered by the trees in the garden and canopies in front of the sun room and on the roof. Plus, of course, you can cool off with a dip in the perfect clear water at any time you fancy!For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?
House for sale - Trabia (Italy)
Villa Rosanna – TrabiaDetached villa on 2 levels, newly renovated, perfectly insulated, with panoramic views of the coastThe propertyThe villa for sale is a detached house on two floors with panoramic views over the Gulf of Capo Zafferano to Cefalù, with an adjoining plot of land of approx. 1500 m2 with lush olive trees and a superstructure pool. Above all, it is energy self-sufficient thanks to the total energy renovation carried out in 2022 with the installation of a solar system on the roof, which guarantees an energy efficiency class A2 with an energy consumption of 88.97 kwh/m2 per year (the invoice below the photos clearly shows the very low consumption). The house with walls, roof and windows has been completely renovated and insulated, so the electricity bill together with the batteries will no longer be a problem for you.Thanks to the orography of the terrain, access to the villa from the outside is via two entrances that completely separate the two floors: a main entrance on the ground floor directly into the study and another via an external staircase that leads to the balcony on the first floor and extends around the entire perimeter of the building. The exterior design of the villa follows the natural course of the land with the olive grove extending laterally on one side and a reserved area for relaxing with a hammock on the other. Inside, the two floors are connected by an internal staircase made entirely of solid oak wood.On the ground floor there is a study, a bathroom and a room that is currently used as a living room but could easily be converted into a bedroom. Adjacent to the living room there is a small storage room with access from the outside, where the connections for a second kitchen are located, which can be realised and possibly connected to the first floor to guarantee it complete living autonomy.The first floor houses both the living area and the sleeping area with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The living area is functionally divided with the kitchen located in an open-plan space with the living room. The kitchen leads to the terrace on the mountain side. From the living room you reach the balcony with views of the gulf. To the side, with reserved views of the meadow with olive trees, there is an equipped terrace covered by a wooden roof and transparent elements that houses the dining area and the brick barbecue, which is connected to the representative outdoor areas.The internal distribution therefore makes it possible to have two independent flats that could guarantee the presence of two families or even an investment opportunity with a second income.The unfurnished house is in a ready-to-move-in condition. The following work may need to be done by the buyer: Some paving stones are broken in the driveway and would need to be replaced, The railings on the upper balcony would need painting and one bedroom in particular, which was previously used as a nursery for 7 year old twins, would need painting. The vendors will no longer be doing this work.SurroundingsContrada Vucca Vanelle is characterised by stately villas built in the 80s and 90s, when the area experienced its greatest expansion, culminating in the construction of various holiday homes for the Palermitan middle class. Today, thanks to its connection to the city of Palermo, the area is a favourite destination for those who want to live in a quiet environment away from the noise of the city, both in summer and winter. The villa can be reached via provincial road 12, which is connected to the state road linking coastal towns such as San Nicola l'Arena, Altavilla Milicia and Trabia to the Palermo-Catania motorway.The sea and the motorway entrance can be reached in about ten minutes by car and the hillside location allows you to enjoy the freshness in summer and the panorama.OpportunitiesWe have already sold several villas in this area; the price was quite comparable depending on the size and condition - but no property had anywhere near these insulation values, which is characterised by low electricity consumption but also by a pleasant quality of living in summer and winter. Not to mention the better sales value! This will also play an even greater role in Sicily in the future.This is not just a holiday residence, but above all a villa that can be lived in all year round, just as it has been used in the past. It is being sold purely for family reasons. I could imagine that the sellers would also accept a slightly lower purchase offer in view of the minor cosmetic repairs. Want to know more?
