Property in Sicily (page 3)

Casa Matteo - GratteriIn the small village of Gratteri, seven kilometres inland and 650m above sea level in the heart of the Madonie Natural Park, Casa Matteo is a must-see for buyers interested in renovating an historic .Magnificent views of the sea and mountainsThe steep terrain and the height of this terraced palazzo building combine to offer unobstructed sea views from the second and third floors. The former even has a balcony that offers you the chance to enjoy the fabulous coastal panorama in the open air.At the moment, the top floor kitchen only has a small window facing north towards the Tyrrhenian Sea, but we think that even a mid-budget renovation project would be able to create a terrace on this level that would give you a bird's eye view of an enormous swathe of northern Sicily.To the rear, Casa Matteo has a view of the surrounding village from the upper floors, which is as charming as the front is dramatic and memorable.Four storeys and over 150M2 of living spaceThe home is divided into six rooms, which could be configured in a variety of ways. Most of these are over 15m2, and the largest space, a second floor pair of rooms connected through a broad archway, offers over 40m2, plus the sea-view balcony at the front.We imagine the finished home with two bedrooms on the lower levels, a beautiful living room-cum-diner on the second floor and an unforgettable kitchen with full-wall glazing opening onto a roof terrace at the top of the property.A renovation challenge that offers a rich rewardAs you'll see from our virtual tour and photography, it is obviously going to be necessary to dedicate time and budget to the historic home. The exact budget will depend on your needs and tastes, as well as how much of the work you're in a position to take care of yourself. We estimate that the final investment will need to be in the region of €110,000 – really, a bargain for the chance to own a piece of Sicilian heritage that's been remodelled to your exact taste.Some features that we think it would be a shame not to incorporate into the final design include a staircase made from the rare and exceptionally durable Billiemi stone, two floors' worth of clay tiles and the antique bread oven which has been built into the kitchen. Take a tour and let your imagination start to work on this fascinating restoration project!For a full description of the property please visit our website En savoir plus ?

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 En savoir plus ?

Appartamento Giuseppe - Santa FlaviaA first-floor apartment to renovate on the main street of Santa Flavia, Casa Giuseppe offers excellent value for anyone looking to create their ideal home or rental investment in a well-connected coastal location.Character worth preservingThe apartment sits in a well-maintained building with an impressive original hardwood entrance. Inside, you'll find original ceramic floors in the living room and bedroom that showcase the decorative tile work Sicily is famous for. The living room has tall ceilings and an east-facing window that catches the morning light, while the bedroom is a good size with views onto a quiet side street.The real highlight is the diner, which opens from the compact kitchen across a breakfast island. Three large windows and patio doors facing south and west flood this space with light throughout the day. The patio doors lead onto a small but sunny balcony – perfect for morning coffee or an evening drink.Outstanding locationSanta Flavia station is a couple of minutes' walk from your front door, putting central Palermo within a 25-minute commute by train. This makes the apartment ideal for anyone who wants to work in the city while living by the sea, or for rental income from young professionals and digital nomads. The beach is 15 minutes away in the other direction. Daily essentials are all within walking distance, while nearby Bagheria offers supermarkets, larger shops and excellent restaurants, including two with Michelin stars. The dramatic headland of Capo Zafferano, with its beaches and diving spots, is waiting to be explored.Ready for your visionThe apartment needs a complete renovation – new plumbing, updated electrics, bathroom refitting and redecoration throughout. This is due to neglect rather than structural issues, and there's nothing here that would concern an experienced builder. The ceramic floors are worth preserving as part of your renovation, giving your finished home a warmth and character that new materials can't replicate.Investment potentialThe combination of excellent transport links, proximity to both city and coast, and year-round amenities makes this a strong proposition for the rental market. Whether you're creating a weekend escape, a permanent home or an investment property, Casa Giuseppe offers the opportunity to build exactly what you want in a location that ticks every practical box.For a full description of the property please visit our website En savoir plus ?

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 En savoir plus ?
