Casa Salvo - Sciacca Characteristic country house surrounded by olive trees, citrus plants and fruit trees. The house is located in the municipality of Sciacca in the province of Agrigento. Sciacca is a coastal, tourist and spa town rich in monuments and churches. It is very famous for its historical carnival. The property is about 110 km from Palermo airport (plus/minus 1 hour driving time). In less than an hour you can reach the magnificent Trapani and in about 1.5 hours the famous beaches of San Vito lo Capo. The centre of Sciacca is just over 8 km away. At a distance of less than 5 km you will find shops, grocery shops, a butcher's shop and all important services. The property is situated on a plot of about 8,000 square metres. The land is full of olive trees (about 100), orange trees (about 50) and many fruit trees (plums, apricots, figs, bananas, mulberries, persimmons, pomegranates). Part of the property has been converted into a vegetable garden where the current owners grow all the seasonal vegetables. The property has 3 wells and is already equipped with an irrigation system to water all the plants. You have your own oil (annual production about 200/250 litres), your own fruit and vegetables. There are two buildings on the property, a house and a storehouse. The house consists of 4 rooms and a nice veranda. The building has a living room with open kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The house has a double entrance. The first one is at the back of the house under a nice veranda that gives access to the large living room with open kitchen. On the left side of the living room is the entrance to the first bedroom. The second entrance is instead located at the front of the house, next to the driveway to the property, and provides access to a small hallway where the second bedroom is located on the right and the bathroom on the left. The rooms all have windows and are therefore very bright. The window frames are double glazed and fitted with mosquito nets. There is a nice terrace on the roof of the house, but at the moment there are no fixed stairs to reach it. The house is habitable and does not require any special works. However, at the moment the property is not connected to the electricity grid. The current owners supply electricity via a generator. Ideally, the property could be equipped with a photovoltaic system that would make it energy self-sufficient (in Italy, there are currently significant government subsidies for the installation of photovoltaic systems and energy storage). Alternatively, one could apply for a connection to the national electricity grid. The property does not have a heating system and there are no heat pumps installed. The house is equipped with a certified Imhoff tank. Water is supplied by the three wells on the property. A few dozen metres away from the house is the second building, which is used as a storage room. All the equipment necessary for cultivating the land is kept in it. The storage consists of two rooms. In one of the two rooms, a small tractor is currently parked, which is useful for cleaning the land. The tractor could be subject to negotiation, but is not included in the sale price of the property.

Casa Marino - Gangi IN ITALY'S ORIGINAL “MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE”: TWO BEDROOM RENOVATED PROPERTY FOR SALE IN THE MADONIE NATURAL PARK Where is Italy's most beautiful village? Opinions will vary as widely as traditional pasta recipes, but the community of Gangi in the Madonie hills of Sicily has a better claim than most. In 2014, a heritage association called I borghi piu belli d'Italia (“Italy's most beautiful villages”) held what became an annual competition to find the nation's most picturesque community – and Gangi ran out the inaugural winner. Casa Marino is a beautiful restoration project in the historic old town of this magical hillside settlement. With a centuries-old construction giving it the sturdiest possible skeleton and no expense spared on the painstaking revamp, it is a fabulous opportunity to own a heritage property for a reasonable price A UNIQUE SHAPE AND DESIGN The house is on the end of a pair of terraces, tapering towards a wedged end that makes it look more of a tower than a family home when approached from one side. However, the four long storeys in fact combine to offer a surprisingly large 137m2 of habitable space. The narrow end of the building is a stairwell, and the wider part follows the same floor plan for the first three floors: a corridor leading past a bathroom with a large shower to a living or bedroom at the property's broadest section. LOCAL CRAFTSMANSHIP The materials used in the recent renovation are top quality, with locally produced floor tiles, sparkling bathroom fittings and crisp plaster accentuating the sections of the original, nearly metre-thick, stone walls which have been left on display in large sections of the property. The roof has also been repaired and is now in excellent condition. Only the stairwell is in need of work at this stage, and there are certainly no issues which would stop you moving in as soon as you complete the purchase. A really unique property, you won't regret taking a longer look at Casa Marino.

Driving along this road among the hills, one can enjoy a splendid view of the sea, the landscape is truly breathtaking. The property is located at an altitude of about 600 metres. It therefore enjoys a cool, breezy climate that is especially pleasant in the spring and summer months. The house is less than 3 km from the town of Mistretta and just over 5 km from the town of Reitano. Although immersed in greenery and tranquillity, the house is only a few minutes' drive from the main commercial activities where it will be possible to find groceries, shops, restaurants and bars. The sea can be reached in less than 15 minutes by car while the beautiful Palermo is just over 100km away. The international airport Falcone Borsellino can be reached in just over 1 hour. The House The property is totally fenced off. Once through the entrance gate you will find yourself in a rustic house made of typical stone with a beautiful patio from which you can enjoy a magnificent view. From here, continuing along a stone corridor adorned with beautiful flower beds with many ornamental plants, you will find yourself on a large veranda terrace equipped with an outdoor kitchen and oven. The house is nestled among the hills, the feeling is that of being engulfed by nature and peace. The land in front of the terrace measures approximately 1,000 square metres. On it you will find several fruit trees and ornamental plants as well as an enclosure for chickens. The house has its own well and a reserve water tank of 9,000 litres. The property consists of two floors. The living area is on the first floor while the sleeping area is on the floor below. The living area has 2 entrances. The first entrance is located near the veranda terrace and gives access to a small kitchenette. Continuing on, one enters the living area which has a fireplace and a second entrance leading to the patio. The first floor also has a bathroom with shower. On the patio there is a staircase leading down to the sleeping area. This has a separate entrance not connected to the first floor. Here one can find 2 bedrooms and a further bathroom. On this same level there are then two small storerooms used today one as storage for gardening tools and one as storage for suitcases or little-used objects. The property is inhabited and habitable. Nevertheless, in our opinion, a general freshening up of the house could considerably improve the aesthetic condition. The windows are partly aluminium without double glazing and partly wooden, also without double glazing. Potentially, the house is a little paradise. With some renovation work, one could have a rustic stone house at an affordable cost. The real attraction of this country house is definitely its location with its panoramic view of the hills, the crystal clear sea and the Aeolian Islands in the background. Enjoying the sunset on the veranda or organising an open-air dinner under the stars, admiring the spectacle of nature that surrounds you could be an experience hard to forget. Having all this always at one's disposal for many could be a real dream The house is served by: Electricity: Active Water: Well with 9,000 litre cistern Hot Water: Boiler Sewer: Black Well Internet: Good network coverage, download speed 40 mega

Plot Dispenza – Sea-view Buildable Land in Sicily's Madonie Natural Park, with Consent to Build Multiple Homes or a Holiday Village A beautiful stretch of sea-view land on the hillsides of northern Sicily, Plot Dispenza offers nearly two hectares of meadow and olive trees, bursting with potential. The plot is beautiful and the location scenic, but the real key asset here is the fact that it has been classed as Zone C 'buildable' land. In contrast to most land which becomes available to the international market, this allows for a far larger-scale development project. Ready to develop, with permission to build On 'Zone C' land it is permitted to build 0.1m3 of habitable structure for every m2 of ground space. In the case of Plot Dispenza that translates to 600m2 of housing or accommodation. This is enough to build a medium-sized holiday village or glamping resort for tourists, a residential complex suitable for timeshare or second homes, or simply four or five detached villas, depending on the scale of each. Of course, it would also be possible to build a single structure, a really vast luxury home. But from an investment standpoint the best returns are likely to come from dividing the land. Five kilometres from the beach, in the foothills of a stunning Natural Park The site is directly adjacent to the SP9 road which runs downhill from Collesano, on the lower slopes of the picturesque Madonie Natural Park, to Campofelice di Roccella on the Tyrrhenian Sea. With the iconic beach town of Cefalù less than half an hour to the east, and the international airport at Palermo just an hour to the west, the location is a perfect one. Collesano is an extremely popular destination with the international market, and even in this out-of-town district we have recently helped buyers from Austria, Germany and the USA buy villas and land in the immediate neighbourhood. It is a wonderful, open-minded community where the best of traditional Sicilian heritage blends seamlessly with new arrivals from all corners of the world. If you are ready to take on a challenge, Plot Dispenza is incredibly rich in potential. Don't miss the full listing on our site.
