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.

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.

Casa Gullotti - San Marco D'Alunzio A pair of properties contained within the same detached villa, Casa Gullotti comprises a fully renovated and joyfully traditional three-bedroom home on the upper floor, and a restoration project space on the ground floor. Set into the hillside, just three kilometres inland from Sicily's north coast in the lower hills of the Nebrodi Natural Park, it enjoys fabulous sea views from the windows, gardens and all three balconies. A Classic Home Beautifully Restored The upper floor is a real classic of Sicilian style. The patterned floor tiles are locally produced and a great example of the design school that finished many of the great houses of the region. You will also note the quality of the marble finishings in the two bathrooms, and the characteristic fixed oven in the kitchen, built into a solid counter that has been finished in a bright checkerboard tile. The three double bedrooms are all large, and two have their own balconies. One overlooks the sea to the north, while the other gets day-round sunshine on the souther side of the property. In the middle, facing east towards the region's spectacular sunsets, is a living room with a balcony of its own. 120m2 to Renovate The ground floor is identical in size, with a front door to the south and direct access onto the gardens. It is in need of a total renovation, including new plastering, wiring and plumbing, bathrooms, kitchen and all decoration. However, the structure of the building is sound. It is fully independent of the upper apartment, meaning that it would be perfectly possible to sell one on and cover the costs of the other, or to let one as a holiday home. The space outdoors is not well maintained but with some investment of time and/or money could prove a really sunny and scenic spot in which to spend long afternoons or eat outside in the warm summer evenings.
