House for sale - Italy (page 24)

Casa Concetta - CustonaciTwo separate holiday homes with a shared driveway and outdoor spaces, Casa Concetta is a great opportunity to run a small tourist business in Sicily or even to move here full time and welcome all the guests you like. Only twenty minutes from the world-famous beach of San Vito Lo Capo it will certainly never be a hard sell to visitors!Classic sicilian architecture in a beautiful natural settingThe house is a long low building with straight lines, topped by an almost flat roof in traditional Sicilian curved tiles. Seen from any angle it fits perfectly against the tall rocky hillsides to either side of it. The rusticated plaster walls are painted a warm sandy yellow, and a subtle accent of exposed stone echoes the low walls that border the garden and pathways. Occasional majolica tiles add a decorative touch: this is a quintessentially Sicilian house, one you just couldn't find in the north of Italy.A veranda at the front of the first apartment and one at the side of the second offer shade and space to relax or eat al-fresco. There's a built-in stone oven, a storeroom and even an outdoor shower. Guests will be certainly appreciate the off-street parking for two or more vehicles. Sleeps eight in comfortThe two apartments are different shapes and were built at different times, but similar in size and the distribution of spaces. The only major difference is that while the upper of the two has a double and a twin bedroom, the first flat has a double plus two singles. One of the singles, at a push, could become a twin. Each one, except the smallest room in the lower apartment, has its own air conditioning unit.Each then has a roomy living space that includes a fitted kitchenette, a dining area and space to relax with a sofa. The bathrooms both have showers and the kitchens have washing machines. The upper apartment is fitted and furnished in slightly more comfort, with modern insulating windows, a newer kitchen and more decorative touches. The lower one is, however, the bigger of the two.A perfect location for a sunny escapeAs we mentioned before, the Caribbean-style seafront of San Vito Lo Capo is just a few kilometres up the road, but the beach options certainly don't end there. Cornino is only ten minutes away and while popular with locals is largely overlooked by tourists, and the same could be said of Macari, fifteen minutes in the other direction.Scopello, on the other side of the headland, is a charming little fishing village, while Castellammare del Golfo is a bigger seaside town. North of Scopello is the nature reserve of Lo Zingaro, a magical wild spot that can only be explored on foot or by boat. Further south, a short ferry from the nearby city of Trapani, are the stunning Egadi islands.Nor is this only a beach location. The historic hilltop town of Erice, the salt pans of Trapani and the vineyards of Marsala are all in easy reach.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

Plot Cinzia - CollesanoExpansive 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 coastThe 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 biodiversityYou 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 beachWhile 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.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

Sea View Project - CollesanoA 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 landThe 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 accessThe 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 requirementsAll 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.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

Casa Renato - FurnariA huge sea-facing plot with a view of the Marinello lakes and the Gulf of Tindari, Casa Renato is an intriguing property with enormous potentialTwin cottage with sea viewsThe bricks and mortar on the estate are limited to a pair of cottages. One of these has a kitchen and a sleeping area, the other a living room and a bathroom with a shower. The former is an older building, although renovated with a new kitchen in masonry and colourful tiles, and recently installed windows. The latter, while officially an outbuilding, has a French window and a lovely sea view.Grow your own olives and grapesThe 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 buildThe 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.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

Villette Venere - Altavilla MiliciaCurrently approaching the final phase of construction, the twin villas of the Villette Venere in the northern Sicilian town of Altavilla Milicia are now available for advance purchase.Large three-bedroom, three bathroom homesEach of the twin homes will give around 180m2 of indoor space, with by far the largest single area the expansive living room on the ground floor. Its 40m2 will in reality seem even larger, thanks to the large French windows which will lead out into the garden on two sides. Windows on the staircase at the front of the homes will allow for air and natural light to pass right through when you like. On this floor will also be a kitchen, store room and bathroom.Upstairs, a small landing will lead you to three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom, especially large at over 20m2, will have an additional en-suite bathroom as well as a walk-in closet. All of the bedrooms will have private access to either a balcony or a terrace.Still Under Construction with the Option to CustomiseThe villas are now fully standing, with the walls, floors and flat roof now in place. The plastering, decoration and all finishings are still to be completed, as is the preparation of the outdoor spaces. This means that buyers who act swiftly will have the option to contribute extensively to much of this process.The developers are proposing the realisation of an optional basement, with the possibility of adding over 100m2 of indoor space to the home. This could eventually be a home gym, playroom, workshop or any number of other possibilities. Another optional extra is the chance to buy a small plot of land to the front of your new home, increasing your garden from 450m2 to 750m2. Finally, and perfect for the heat of the Sicilian summer, you can even opt to install a swimming pool in your yard. But don't wait, once work is completed it will be much harder and more expensive to make changes.Perfect Location for a Rural View and Urban ConvenienceThe plot of this development is found on the very edge of the district of Villabate, only a fifteen minute walk from the heart of the traditional town of Altavilla Milicia. The views from the upper balconies and terraces will take in some fabulous surrounding hillsides, the great blue sky of Sicily and even a little of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the middle distance. Everything you could need on a regular basis is walkable from your new home.If you want the infrastructure or culture of one of Sicily's great cities, however, Palermo is only a half hour journey away, along the motorway or by train to the east. Besides the myriad charms of this legendary metropolis, you can also reach all manner of different beaches, coves and seafront in a similar travel time. The location really does offer the best of all possible worlds.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?
