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 ?

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 ?
Bauland Plot Oliveto - CollesanoCollesano This plot is 22,000 m² in size, slightly hilly and faces north - the sea - and is perhaps 2 km from Campofelice as the crow flies. The main feature of this property is the beautifully tended olive trees, which number around 450 and are very productive. A power line runs past the property, so that only a well needs to be drilled, as there is no water connection. Alternatively, a pipe could be laid from the nearest water pipe across the neighbors' plots. The access road is currently somewhat precarious, as the shortest connection to the north has become difficult to pass due to a storm. Before selling, we need to clarify with the neighbors whether these 50 m could perhaps be repaired through a joint investment. This would only cost a few 100 € each, the price asked by the owners is in the region of around 100,000 €, which is in this area.If you build your dream house on this plot, you can realize over 200 m² of living space, of course the house can also be smaller. Other families, including some Germans, have already built their homes on similarly sized neighboring plots.Surroundings The welcoming and versatile town of Collesano was initially a Moorish fortress on Monte d'Oro, the so-called Gold Hill, before it was renamed Golisanum. Conquered by the Norman Count Roger in the 13th century, it became the center of a large feudal lordship with strong military protection and economic interests that stretched from the sea to the heart of the Madonie.Today's Collesano stretches almost as far as the sea and borders the coastal towns of Campofelice di Roccella and Lascari to the north. To the east, it touches another of our most popular real estate tips in the region, Gratteri.The town, with a population of around four thousand, caught our eye when we noticed a recent boom in international buyers in the town, who have formed a very welcoming and active community. Not that the local way of life is in any way under threat, as many of Collesano's residents are descended from families who have made their home in the town for centuries. The old mystery plays “la Cercha” and “la Casazza” are still performed to celebrate Holy Week, and the festivals around the “Chiesa Madre” bring the town to life.More recently, the town has made a name for itself as a center for beautiful handmade ceramics and has entered motorsport folklore as the venue for the legendary Targa Florio, the world's first rally of its kind. The small village's hairpin bend was a precursor to the famous bend in Monte Carlo - and perhaps even the inspiration for it.All the stores, bars and restaurants you and your guests need for a relaxed day out can be found just a few minutes' walk from your stunning front door. This is the most historic and beautiful part of the city. On the northern edge of the city, the architecture becomes a little more modern, but the view of the sea is truly unforgettable.The nearest sandy beach is only 20 minutes away, and the famous golden sandy beach of Cefalù can be reached in just a little more time. Sicily's main city, Palermo, is only an hour to the west, and if you prefer to take the train, you can catch a train at sea level in Campofelice. En savoir plus ?
Palazzo Peri - CollesanoA vast complex covering 800m2, right in the heart of a historic Sicilian town, Palazzo Peri stands at the very heart of Collesano in the Madonie Natural Park. An eighteenth century building with wonderful history, it would be a wonderfully inspiring project to take on.With over twenty rooms, on three storeys, and an entire deconsecrated church included in the sale, we're not overselling this when we describe it as one of the most remarkable real estate opportunities to have passed across our desk since we first entered the industryA stately home with a baroque facadeThe living space is huge, with sixteen rooms plus kitchens and bathrooms. Almost all of these are large enough to become a spacious double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Two at the front of the property have ornately decorated balconies, and those on the top floor have fabulous views over the rooftops of Collesano to the green hills of the surrounding natural park.The marble staircases and tiled floors are still in very good condition for a building of this age. The plastering will obviously need to be completely redone, and the connections for plumbing and electricity installed as if from scratch. But there are beautiful elements to salvage, like the sturdy antique doors and the built-in pizza oven on the second floor kitchen.The old chapel, courtyard and storeroomsThe church is a large space, the size of a typical chapel, with a three-storey high roof and a simple layout. Off this, to the side, is a Sacristy which occupies two floors. To the rear is an L-shaped courtyard which is currently covered in grass, and runs up a slope. It receives sunshine in the middle of the day and could become an attractive little garden.Lastly, on the far side of this courtyard, you will find a complex of seven separate storerooms which are each big enough to hold machinery or large quantities of produce.An opportunity you really don't see every day The chance to restore a building with this kind of history – and this much sheer space – is a really rare and precious one. It could become a one-of-a-kind luxury villa for an investor who wants to entertain large numbers of guests in truly lavish style. Alternatively, perhaps its future lies as separate apartments – it should be possible to realise at least six or seven, all of good size.As a final possibility, it would be very easy to picture Palazzo Peri as a boutique luxury hotel, with a spa and sun terrace, offering huge characterful rooms in a magical medieval context. The bells of the old Chiesa Madre of Collesano echo from the fortified tower just across the street, and the cobbled streets of this enchanting old town are as atmospheric as the surrounding mountain- and sea-views are breathtaking.
