House in Sant'Agata di Militello
Sant'Agata di Militello, Messina
Casetta Chiara - Sant' Agata Di Militello Looking out towards the Aeolian Islands from a quiet hillside lane, Casetta Chiara is a stone cottage above Sant'Agata di Militello, on Sicily's northern Nebrodi coast. A View that Rewards the Climb At close to 480 metres above sea level and under three kilometres from the coast, the cottage looks north over the Tyrrhenian Sea towards the Aeolian Islands, sharp and clear on the brightest days and a fixture of the view all year round. Around the house there is little but country lanes, light woodland and open meadow, an easy place to feel properly removed from the crowds. A Practical One-Bedroom Retreat A driveway climbs from the lane to a terraced front garden, where a traditional oven is built into the cottage's stone wall, ready to be brought back to life as a wood-fired barbecue or replaced with a small outdoor kitchen. Inside, the larger room has a dual aspect and will fill with light once the west-facing window is unshuttered, while the smaller room next door opens straight onto the garden, sea view included. A hidden door in the living room leads through to a bathroom space, and the exposed timber beams overhead are worth keeping on show. Renovate on a Modest Budget The solid stone walls keep the rooms naturally cool in summer and cosy in winter. The roof has recently been redone, but kept on show, perfectly in keeping with the rustic feel of the property. Electrics, plumbing and drainage will be the three biggest challenges to address, with the site not currently connected to the municipal main. However, a pipe passes nearby, so connecting to it will not be a complicated task. A septic tank will be needed, too, but we suggest a realistic budget to turn this into a charming and fully habitable retreat would only be around €40,000. Easy Reach, Far From the Crowds Sant'Agata di Militello, with its shops, cafes and services, is a short way downhill. Cefalù is under an hour's drive away, and Messina and Milazzo, both within around 80 minutes, offer ferries to the mainland and boats out to the Aeolian Islands themselves. Catania and Palermo airports are roughly equidistant, and Mount Etna begins to rise just 30 kilometres to the south.
Apartment in Sant'Agata di Militello
Sant'Agata di Militello, Messina
Villa Antonello - S.Agata di Militello With a sweeping 180-degree view over the Tyrrhenian Sea and the green Nebrodi hills, Villa Antonello is a solidly built two-apartment property at 450 metres above sea level in the municipality of Sant’Agata di Militello, completed in 2011 and ready to use. One Apartment to Use Now; Another to Finish The first apartment is finished to a high standard of craftsmanship, with a brick fireplace connected to the radiator heating system, terracotta floors, exposed beamed ceilings and custom-built wooden cabinetry. The living space is on the ground floor with a well-fitted kitchen and WC; the upper level has two bedrooms, a bathroom and a private terrace with sea views. Air conditioning is in place on both floors. The second apartment mirrors the same layout and has been built to the same structural standard. It needs its finishing touches — kitchen unit, radiators and stair cladding — making this a short fit-out project rather than a renovation. Both apartments hold certificates of habitability. Outdoor Life and Self-Sufficiency A stone outdoor kitchen with a wood-fired oven and dining table is built at the edge of the hillside, looking straight out over the valley. The 3,300m2 plot is planted with olive trees that produce their own extra-virgin oil, and there is a prepared area beneath the terrace for a vegetable garden. A 40m2 outbuilding is fully registered and provides ample storage or workshop space. Sea, Mountains and Verdant Green Hills The town of Sant’Agata di Militello, with its beaches, marina, supermarkets and year-round services, is seven kilometres away — around fifteen minutes by car. Direct trains connect the town to Palermo (under two hours) and Messina (around an hour and a half). Palermo’s international airport is under two hours by road. Cefalù is an hour to the west. The Aeolian Islands, visible on a clear day, are reachable by ferry from Capo d’Orlando, 25 kilometres east. Potential Rental Income Villa Antonello is well priced for a two-apartment property with this quality of view and this level of finish in the first apartment. The second apartment, once completed, opens up solid rental income potential in a part of Sicily where experiential tourism is growing. The combination of cool summer temperatures, Nebrodi park access, sea proximity and good transport links makes this a compelling offer for a second home buyer or small rental investor alike.

Palazzo Silipigni is a small crenellated castle, in neo-Gothic style, also consisting of a tower, called Torre Baglio, built in the 16th century.

The complex is accessed by a driveway gate that leads into a large private courtyard, on the right of which we find the eighteenth-century church of S. Antonio, donated by the family to the Diocese of Messina. From a second large iron door on the left side of the large courtyard, you enter the internal courtyard of about 150 square meters, tiled and decorated with exotic plants, jasmine, geraniums, fruit trees, a circular fish pond, a lava stone well and a decorative cave.

PEACE AND QUIET IN THIS FRIENDLY RURAL SETTING Everything you'd imagine a small Sicilian village to be, Rodì Milici is rustic and ravishing. There are enough visitors in the season that some of the apartments in the residence do a good trade as rental homes, but nothing here feels like it's for the benefit of visitors. You can live on local produce and sleep and wake to the rhythms of nature. The lovely Tonnarella beach, barely ten minutes away, gives you clear waters and stunning sunsets, and the green slopes of Mount Etna and the Nebrodi Natural Park are both just around the corner.

House in Furnari
Furnari, Messina
Casa Renato - Furnari A huge sea-facing plot with a view of the Marinello lakes and the Gulf of Tindari, Casa Renato is an intriguing property with enormous potential TWIN COTTAGE WITH SEA VIEWS The 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 GRAPES The 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 BUILD The 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.

House in Mistretta
Mistretta, Messina
Casa Marinella - Mistretta A fabulous value-for-money proposition for a buyer with a little time to invest and the appetite for a renovation, Casa Marinella is a four-bedroom villa with an unbeatable view. Miles of Stunning Hillside Laid Out in Front of You On the western edges of the Nebrodi Natural Park, less than four kilometres from the hilltop town of Mistretta, Casa Marinella stands on the western bank of a dramatic valley, which plunges 400m downhill over just a couple of kilometres, directly to the rear of the house. With the mountains opposite rising up to peaks over a thousand metres above sea level, and the waters of the Mediterranean visible on the horizon away to your left, it's a magical panorama almost completely undisturbed by human activity. The two-storey villa has been built to take full advantage of this, at the top of a 4,000m2 plot filled with over a hundred olive and fruit trees, but offering an uninterrupted view over their green canopy from the ground floor terrace and the balcony upstairs. The lower level has nearly 50m2 of mostly covered patio, including an outdoor kitchen with traditional stone fireplaces and grill. This is a property which will transport you to a simpler way of life, in contact with nature and the food chain. 220M2 OF LIVING SPACE ON TWO FLOORS Of course, there is also a conventional kitchen indoors with an antique bread oven, none the less spacious and with room for a family dining table. Joining it on the ground floor are a living room whose window overlooks the valley, and a bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Each of these last two spaces have patio doors straight out onto the terrace. On the first floor you'll find four more rooms and a second bathroom, although the fixtures for this are yet to be installed. Two of the rooms have valley views (even taking in the sea seven kilometres to the north, on a clear day), and the home is flanked by the balcony on two sides. To the rear there is another terrace, a large flat space which takes full advantage of the gradient of the land. A RENOVATION PROJECT WITH A FABULOUS PAYOFF There is a lot of work to be done before Casa Marinella can be said to be truly complete – the upper floor in particular is very much a work in progress. The walls need to be plastered and even, in some points, raised to the level of the roof. The floor is still in cement, and all of the decoration will need to be done from scratch. Of course, the advantage of this is that you can set the place up to look exactly as you would like. The ground floor could be used straight away, and indeed you could live there while working upstairs. At some point it, too, will need a fair amount of work however, with the wiring, windows and bathroom all in particular need of attention. Casa Marinella is definitely a project house – but for the sum of the purchase price and an investment around €100,000 you could own a really stunning big home fifteen minutes from the sea in one of Sicily's most underrated regions.
