Huis te koop - Cefalù (Italië)

Casetta nel Bosco - CefalùIn the hills outside the iconic beach town of Cefalù, Casetta nel Bosco offers a buyer who won't shy away from a renovation project the chance to own a sea-view home with a very large garden in a beautiful, quiet spot.Renovate or rebuildThe cottage as it stands consists of a 60m2 main house, with one bedroom, a living room, kitchen, study and bathroom. Alongside this is a 15m2 wooden shed. The foundations of the main building have begun to move, and this has caused instability of the front wall and cracking at the rear. In addition the roof needs to be redone. Bearing this in mind, we see the most cost-effective move in the long term as being a demolition and new build. You would be able to use the existing footprint of both buildings, giving you a larger two-bedroom home. Alternatively you may be able to find a solution to save the existing cottage, which would obviously be cheaper.OVER 1,300M2 of hillside woodlandGiven the condition of the building, the plot and its position are the real attractions here. The large patch of land is naturally beautiful, with views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, just over a kilometre away and 300m downhill, through the green canopy of trees and foliage. Standing on a little-used country lane with few close neighbours, you are buying peace and seclusion in a spot which, thanks to the leafy shade and sea breeze, has a very comfortable climate all year round.The famous beach town of Cefalù is reachable in just ten minutes by car, and it lives up to its lofty reputation. The cobbled streets of its Medieval old town lead you past atmospheric piazzas and alleyways before bringing you to the spectacular square on which stands the town's unique Arab-Norman cathedral, a unesco world Heritage Site. In the new town, a fabulous two kilometre strip of golden sand offers a spectacular view of the town's unique skyline, with the twin towers of the cathedral in the shadow of the mountainous outcrop known as La Rocca.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

Villa Anna - CefalùA truly spectacular location and an infinity pool that takes full advantage of the site's jaw-dropping natural beauty, Villa Anna is a luxurious sea-view getaway in one of Sicily's most desirable ZIP codes.Perched in the hills above the iconic seafront town of Cefalù, the island's most charming small town is just over ten minutes' drive away, but the feeling is one of complete escape. The 180m2 of terraces are overlooked by nobody except the birds, and 260m above sea level there is no noise or anything at all to come between you and complete relaxation.90M2 of internal space flowing seamlessly into the outdoor areasFully renovated in the spring of 2024, the villa, pool area and 180m2 of sea-view terraces are all in impeccable condition. There is a bit of work to do to bring the driveway and gardens up to the same level, but that is a small price to pay for being able to call such a special piece of real estate home.On the lower floor the two bedrooms both have direct access to the gardens – one to a patch of hillside dotted with olive trees and other Mediterranean vegetation, and the other to the pool area, with its outdoor shower and spacious storeroom. The upper floor is a single open plan reception room which is flooded with natural light thanks to windows on three sides and a light well on the fourth. You can enjoy sunshine for every hour of the day, in this versatile and roomy space.Designed and built with flair and visionThe building has a distinctive aesthetic and is certainly not a generic cookie cutter design. Local materials like high quality marble and the wooden timbers of the superstructure that can provide shade to the largest terrace establish a strong link to the island surroundings, but there is also a bold use of light and a nuanced silhouette to the villa that brings it right up to the cutting edge of design.Power is largely taken care of by a powerful 6kW solar panel on the long sloping roof, and the home is both energy efficient and sensitive to its romantic surroundings.A never to be forgotten viewIf you are in the market for a really luxurious holiday home that gives you a feeling of unmatched privacy and seclusion, within a comfortable reach of a beautiful and historic town, then you need to take a closer look at Villa Anna. We are supremely confident that that incredible pool and its near-endless coastal view will do the rest. Meer weten?

Villa Presti - CefaluTWO-bedroom, SEA-view house in cefalù's green hillsSurrounded by woodland, at the top of one of the lower peaks of the Madonie Natural Park but just twelve minutes' drive from Cefalù, Chalet Presti offers a sensational blend of seclusion and convenience.With Cefalù one of Sicily's blue chip tourist markets, this is a very solid investment for an enticing price per square metre – the total covered area spans a huge 240m2. We see Chalet Presti as being ripe for a makeover with the addition of a pair of extra bedrooms, giving it a sleeping capacity of eight plus, and significant potential as a vacation rental if you don't plan to live there 365 days a year.Vast storage space for cars or agricultural machinery Built on two floors and a mezzanine, the house takes advantage of the hillside to offer beautiful views from every room. The ground floor is currently a huge garage, or storage space, but there is tons of potential to put this to a more efficient use. Outside is a terrace which overlooks the green hillside rolling down to a wide stretch of coastline which is visible throughout.Bright and spacious living areaOn the upper floor is the main living area of the house. Here you will find a pair of bedrooms and twin bathrooms, as well as a spacious family kitchen. However, the majority of the space is taken up with a chalet-style, high-ceilinged open space living room, with a mezzanine gallery built on a slight overhang. This intelligent bit of design has created what is currently used as an additional living area and a dining space. Of course it could be changed in something more efficient, like 2 new bedrooms. OAKS, corks and pinesSet in an ample wooded estate of 5500m2, Chalet Presti is a wonderful getaway in a prestigious district where many of the island's rich and famous spend their summers. Meer weten?
