Appartamento Michele - Porticello A practical and spacious three-bedroom home on the Sicilian coast, Appartamento Michele is found in the welcoming fishing village of Porticello, just twenty minutes from central Palermo. SUN, SPACE AND SEA AIR The second-floor apartment occupies the top residential level of a small three-unit building, with balconies running along three sides and a large roof terrace for the exclusive use of the buyer. Inside, the layout is generous: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a storeroom, an eat-in kitchen and a living room with dual exposition that catches light from the south-west and south-east. Ceiling height is 3 metres throughout, and the warm patterned tile floors match the wooden trim for a cohesive, welcoming feel. A ROOF TERRACE TO MAKE YOUR OWN Upstairs, the open-air terrace is a highlight. Large enough to accommodate a pergola, outdoor kitchen and seating area, it’s the kind of versatile outdoor space that’s hard to come by at this price point. With a small adjustment to the front parapet, a partial sea view can be opened up – and the terrace can even be divided to serve two separate units, should you choose to split the apartment for rental income. PORTICELLO: CHARACTER AND CONVENIENCE The marina is 300 metres away, the beach 650 metres, and the lovely inlet at Sant’Elia just over a kilometre along the coast. Santa Flavia’s train station is a kilometre inland, with services to Palermo in twenty minutes. The area is rich in archaeology, natural beauty and fresh seafood, yet remains blissfully free of mass tourism. AFFORDABLE AND READY TO USE The apartment is in sound condition and will need no urgent work. However, some modernising would definitely bring the best out of it. We recommend redoing the electrical system, bathrooms and windows, but this is reflected in a very appealing asking price. Its generous footprint also makes it possible to divide into two separate units, if you're seeking rental income or a smaller home with a guest flat. With balconies on three sides, high ceilings, a roof terrace and a fishing village location minutes from Palermo, this is a highly recommendable mid-range purchase with plenty of scope to add value, both indoors and out.

Plot Gorgone - Gratteri With approved plans for a rural tourism resort and sweeping Madonie views, Plot Gorgone is a 2.5-hectare development opportunity in the hills above Gratteri, twenty-five minutes from Cefalù. SIX LUXURY CAMPING PITCHES AND A NATURAL POOL The approved plans set out six independent luxury camping pitches along a marked-out internal road, each positioned for privacy and landscape integration. At the lower end of the estate, the plans include a main house for reception and dining, a guest building with three en-suite bedrooms and a bio-piscina – a natural swimming pool in keeping with the ecological ethos of the project. All key authorisations are already in place: the geological survey, the Madonie Park environmental clearance and the municipal building permit. SOUTH-FACING AND CLOSE TO THE COAST The hillside slopes towards the south-west, catching the sun from midday through to sunset. About 350 metres above sea level it's a quiet and secluded spot dotted with lush Mediterranean vegetation including olive trees and other fruit. The nearest village is Gratteri, a ten-minute drive away, while the nearest beaches can be reached in twenty minutes and the tourist magnet of Cefalù in twenty-five. A GROWING MARKET WITH LITTLE COMPETITION The Madonie currently has very few luxury camping – or ‘glamping’ – facilities, and the Cefalù area still relies on traditional campsites. A well-designed resort here would occupy an open niche in a segment that is attracting growing interest from international travellers. The total investment, including all construction, is estimated at between €800,000 and €1,000,000, with projected net annual profits of €60,000 to €80,000 under direct management. PURCHASE A FULLY OPERATIONAL COMMERCIAL ENTITY The sale is structured as a company transfer – Ecoturismo Valle di Gratteri SRL – reducing transaction costs by an estimated €8,000. The buyer inherits a legal entity ready to operate, along with the approved project. The only remaining step before construction can begin is to complete the structural engineering plans. At its asking price, Plot Gorgone offers strong value as development land with real income potential. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

WALKABLE TOWN, CONNECTED COAST Santa Flavia’s train station is five minutes away on foot, with direct services to central Palermo (20 minutes) and along the coast towards Cefalù (under an hour). Cafés, shops and a greengrocer are steps from the front door, while larger supermarkets are close by in Bagheria. The fishing village of Porticello, the archaeological site of Solunto and several beaches, including the clear waters of Sant’Elia, are all within easy reach. Palermo airport is about 40 minutes by car. A SOUND ENTRY INTO A GROWING MARKET Casa Brigitte generates approximately €10,000 in gross annual rental income, with established guest reviews and occupancy history. The holiday rental market in Santa Flavia continues to strengthen as international visitors seek out authentic coastal alternatives to busier resort towns. At the time of writing, a third-floor apartment in the same building – with a 65m2 roof terrace – is also available, offering scope for expansion. This is a well-priced entry point into one of Sicily’s most promising coastal rental markets. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

In the heart of Santa Flavia, just twenty minutes outside Palermo, it also boasts a wonderful 65m2 roof terrace. READY-TO-OPERATE RENTAL BUSINESS The apartment has been completely rebuilt with new electrical and plumbing systems, and everything is in perfect working order.

It has even been featured in Airbnb's selective Plus program. PRIME LOCATION WITH EXCELLENT CONNECTIVITY Located on Santa Flavia's main corso, Casa Colibrì is 500 meters from the railway station. Direct trains connect you to central Palermo (20 minutes) and Cefalù (60 minutes). All daily amenities, including cafés, restaurants and grocery stores, are within five minutes' walk. The fishing village of Porticello, ancient Solunto archaeological site, and multiple beaches including Sant'Elia and the dramatic Kafara beach are all easily accessible. This is authentic coastal Sicily with modern infrastructure. You won't need to depend on your car, but can easily reach major cities, beautiful beaches and cultural landmarks. Palermo airport in 40 minutes away by car or only a little over an hour by public transport. EXCLUSIVE ROOFTOP TERRACE & STRONG MARKET FUNDAMENTALS The substantial 65m2 rooftop terrace belongs exclusively to this apartment, providing a private outdoor retreat with open sky and sea views. This is exactly the kind of premium amenity that drives higher rental rates and enthusiastic guest reviews. Santa Flavia has seen property values double over the past five years as international buyers discover this authentic alternative to overcrowded tourist destinations. The apartment's gross annual revenue has approached €15,000, and there is significant appreciation potential to this home in one of Sicily's fastest-growing coastal markets. We estimate that you would fully recoup your capital in just 10-12 years. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Ignazia - Cefalù A renovation project with real promise in one of Sicily’s most famous coastal towns, Casa Ignazia is found in the Kalura district of Cefalù, just twenty metres from the sea. CHARACTER THAT SHINES IN THE MORNING SUN Part of a historic coastal building divided among several owners, Casa Ignazia is arranged over two floors. The first-floor apartment has a bright bedroom with two windows, a living area with kitchen and an east-facing balcony that fills the rooms with morning light. The exterior is finished in attractive exposed stone, with a small enclosed garden. Upstairs in the attic, original wooden roof trusses present a striking architectural feature waiting to be revealed by a considered renovation. On the ground floor, two further rooms of around 20m2 each provide scope to expand the home into a generous two-level layout. One has its own independent entrance, and both could be connected internally to create a proper kitchen and living area below. RIGHT BY THE BEACH KNOWLEDGEABLE LOCALS FAVOUR The small rocky coves of Kalura are a well-kept secret. Many visitors to Cefalù never discover them, while the locals head here to escape the crowds in high season. The beach catches the morning sun and the water is clear and sheltered. Several hotels, bars and restaurants are within a short walk, including the Michelin-noted Il Capone at the five-star Hotel Le Calette. A lovely twenty-minute stroll past the lighthouse takes you into the heart of Cefalù, with its medieval streets, Arab-Norman cathedral, atmospheric piazzas and famous golden beach. You can park right outside your front door, too, which is a real advantage over the old town. The Madonie Natural Park is twenty minutes inland, and Palermo’s international airport about an hour to the west. A RENOVATION PROJECT THAT MAKES FINANCIAL SENSE A full renovation, from roof replacement to new systems and finishes, is estimated at €70,000 to €110,000. The total investment, including purchase, would still be well below the going rate for a finished home in this location. Demand for summer holiday rentals in Cefalù is strong, making this an attractive prospect for a buyer who wants a coastal retreat that can also earn its keep. Additional rooms within the same building may become available in the future, offering the chance to grow the property further. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Enza - Casteldaccia Ready to use from day one and already generating rental income, Casa Enza is a modern four-level villa in a leafy residential street on the edge of Casteldaccia, on Sicily's north coast between Palermo and Cefalù. TWO APARTMENTS IN ONE VILLA The dual-entrance layout divides the property naturally into two independent homes. The owners currently live in the bright, well-equipped lower apartment, complete with bespoke kitchen, double bedroom and outdoor cooking area with a wood-fired oven. The lower apartment measures 123m2 and offers a contemporary open-plan living area with its own independent entrance. Upstairs two double bedrooms open onto corner balconies with a glimpse of the sea, and a loft conversion adds a mansard apartment with automated skylights that can function as a studio. Air conditioning throughout and excellent thermal insulation keep the villa comfortable in every season. SEA VIEWS FROM THE ROOFTOP TERRACE- A HOLIDAYMAKER'S DELIGHT At the top the loft conversion opens onto a spectacular private terrace with a panoramic sea view. The neighbourhood is green and leafy, and on the horizons the hills of this rugged stretch of coastline are on full display. The three upper floors operate as a licensed holiday rental with CIR and CIN registrations in place. You could easily continue that arrangement and generate a strong income stream, or unite everything into one large family residence. COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS, WALKABLE NEIGHBOURHOOD Despite the quiet, edge-of-town location, the whole of the small town of Casteldaccia, with bakeries, cafés and restaurants, is within walking distance. The local train station puts you in central Palermo in twenty minutes, while Cefalù is around forty minutes by motorway. The nearest beach is only a couple of kilometres away, and the spectacular headland around Monte Catalfano to the north offers a wealth of coves and bays that are perfect to explore by land or sea. VALUE AND POTENTIAL This is the best of Sicily from all angles – convenient for the city, immersed in natural beauty and with the friendly welcome of a small town. Whether you make Casa Enza your new home or a foray into the island's burgeoning tourist market, it is a spacious, perfectly presented house that offers stellar value for money at this asking price.

Casa Carbonara - Cefalù A large property on a beautiful 11,400m2 estate, Casa Carbonara offers a fabulous sea-view panorama from its perch above the seaside gem of Cefalù. SLEEPS EIGHT, WITH PLENTY OF SPACE TO SHARE Inside, the two-storey villa comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room and a spacious family kitchen. With minimal space lost to hallways it makes the most of its 195m2 of interior, although a reconfiguration would make the compact bathrooms more comfortable. There is renovation work to be done on the interiors, but the views from the trio of sea-view bedrooms up the smartly marbled flight of stairs speak to a promise well worth the unlocking. The house is well presented, with a recently installed water filtration system providing clean tap water from the estate’s own wells. OLIVE GROVES, FRUIT TREES AND DARK SKIES The three-acre triangular plot is planted with mature, fruit-bearing trees in a range of Mediterranean varieties. A new perimeter fence encloses almost the whole land, and a gravel access road serves the property. The gardens and terrace surrounding the house, complete with pizza oven, will host a wonderful array of sunny afternoons and starlit dinners. Just 3km inland and 600m above sea level, Casa Carbonara is in the foothills of the Madonie National Park, with the famous beach town of Cefalù a short drive below. The nearby village of Isnello is home to an international astronomical observatory that takes advantage of some of the darkest skies in southern Europe. A SOUND INVESTMENT IN ONE OF SICILY'S STRONGEST MARKETS A renovation budget of around €100,000 would cover new windows, updated bathrooms, a heating and cooling system, new electrics and photovoltaic power. More ambitious work, including opening up the ground floor and adding a swimming pool, would take the budget higher but the result would be a property of real distinction in one of the island’s most resilient tourist markets. The total investment, including purchase and renovation, would still represent strong value for a four-bedroom sea-view villa with three acres of land in the Cefalù municipality.

Casa Baldassarre - Bagheria a 200-square-metre first-floor apartment in Bagheria, Casa Baldassarre stands on the edge of the town with fantastic transport links by road and rail. With independent access, a private garage and a 100-square-metre terrace, this property balances charm with wonderful liveability. EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY ELEGANCE The apartment showcases perfectly preserved original frescoes on the ceilings and decorative majolica floors with geometric and floral patterns. Nor are modern comforts lacking - the large reception room features a modern pellet fireplace, whilst the windows feature state-of-the-art insulation to keep the climate perfectly controlled and the noise of the busy city outside. The layout includes three double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one with tub, one with shower), fitted kitchen, a laundry room and a utility room. High ceilings throughout create a sense of space and light. OUTSTANDING CONNECTIONS Bagheria station is only 200 metres from the property, offering twelve-minute train connections to central Palermo. The fishing village of Aspra, celebrated for its seafront, fresh fish markets and authentic atmosphere, is a two-minute drive or fifteen-minute walk away. Corso Butera's shops, restaurants and services are all within easy walking distance. Despite the main road location, top-quality acoustic insulation ensures complete silence when windows are closed. INVESTMENT VERSATILITY The property would be fantastic as a spacious family home, but we could also see it as a boutique B&B conversion. The independent entrance and 200-square-metre layout allow for creating separate guest suites whilst maintaining elegant common areas. The private garage is particularly valuable for tourists travelling by car – or of course for your own personal use. The spacious terrace, already equipped with a canopy and outdoor kitchen with wood-fired oven, would really shine with a little attention, and has the potential to make a stunning roof garden and solarium.

Casa Rosaria - Gratteri A substantial renovation project on one of Gratteri’s main streets, Casa Rosaria is a four-storey townhouse of approximately 220m2 with the rare advantage of a private garden in the heart of the village. 220m2 OF CHARACTER ACROSS FOUR FLOORS The traditionally built stone house is arranged over four levels, connected by a marble-clad staircase in excellent condition. Rooms range from a ground floor entrance with an original stone sink to a first floor chamber carved directly into the rock – a wonderfully atmospheric space. The upper floors offer a kitchen-living area with potential for an open-plan layout, and a top floor with well-preserved chequerboard cement tiles and panoramic views that stretch to the sea. A PRIVATE GARDEN IN THE VILLAGE CENTRE What really makes Casa Rosaria stand out in this part of the world is its rear garden, accessed from the top floor terrace. Private outdoor space attached to a house in Gratteri’s old town is exceptionally uncommon, and it opens up possibilities that most village properties cannot offer – from outdoor dining to a kitchen garden or a quiet retreat under open sky. SOLID BONES, READY FOR YOUR VISION Casa Rosaria needs moderate to thorough renovation. At least one timber floor structure requires rebuilding, the bathroom must be redone, and the roof, electrics and window frames all need attention. The facade, however, is in good order, and the reinforced concrete staircase is sound throughout. A minimum budget of around €40,000 will bring the house into comfortable use; although if you want to make it into a really stylish mix of historic charm and modern comfort you might need to find two or three times that. The Mountains of the Madonie, Half an Hour from Cefalù Gratteri sits around 700m above sea level in the Madonie Natural Park, surrounded by outstanding hiking and mountain landscapes. The ever-popular beach town of Cefalù is only a thirty minutes drive down a winding scenic road, and you can find supermarkets and larger shops along the way in Lascari. For international connections, Palermo’s international airport is ninety minutes to the west. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Salvatore - Bagheria A three apartment palazzo on four floors, with a glorious sunny top-floor living room and roof terrace, Casa Salvatore stands in the historic centre of Bagheria, a small Sicilian city just fifteen minutes by train from Palermo. THREE APARTMENTS AND A ROOFTOP TERRACE Each of the first three floors is a one bedroom apartment with a kitchen and bathroom, and all have their own entrances from a shared marble staircase. It would be perfectly straightforward to create a trio of separate apartments, and the top floor could either become a studio or a common leisure space – perhaps depending on whether you plan to renovate for resale or the rental market. Tall ceilings throughout lend a touch of history and an airy openness to the rooms, and balconies on Via Scoppa bring in natural light. The top floor is probably the biggest selling point, an open-plan space with floor-to-ceiling glazing on two sides. This leads out to a corner terrace with views over the rooftops and bell towers of the town. TEN MINUTES TO THE TRAIN,FIVE TO THE SEA Bagheria is a lively little city of around 40,00 residents, boasting a lively food scene, pedestrianised shopping streets and a rich cultural heritage centred around its famous baroque villas, including the celebrated Villa Palagonia. It's something of a satellite of Palermo, and the train station that's just ten minutes away on foot helps commuters and tourists alike reach the centre of Sicily's capital in less than a quarter of an hour. The charming seafront village of Aspra, with its fish restaurants and access to the coves of the Capo Zafferano peninsula, is five minutes away by car. When you need to travel internationally, Falcone-Borsellino airport is about 45 minutes away and you can also get there by train with a single change. A RENOVATION PROJECT PRICED TO LEAVE YOU AN AMBITIOUS BUDGET The property needs a comprehensive programme of work: new plumbing and wiring, heating installation, new window frames, bathroom refurbishments and facade repairs. The ground floor, which has been unoccupied longest, requires the most attention, while the second floor is in notably better condition. The low asking price leaves significant room to renovate in a way that will stand the test of time, and the result could be a substantial and characterful home – or three or four - in one of northern Sicily’s best-connected towns.

Villa Caterina - Cefalù A three or four bedroom villa to renovate in one of Sicily's most sought-after locations, Villa Caterina is a 220m2 detached house on 1,200m2 of land. In the hills of the municipality of Cefalù, around ten minutes from the famous beach town itself, it offers a beautiful view of the Gulf of Termini Imerese, facing west towards the region's spectacular sunsets. SUNSET OVER THE WATER Positioned 300m above sea level in a sparsely populated district known as Campella or Contrada Monte, the villa is set up to take full advantage of that expansive view of the Conca d'Oro, the great coastal arc that sweeps from Campofelice di Roccella to Palermo. Looking inland, the verdant hills of the Madonie rise up at your back like a carpet of green. Best of all, the area is heavily protected by local planning regulations, which guarantee that no new developments can infringe on your view or sense of privacy and seclusion. A CLEAR PATH TO A FULLY RESTORED HOME The house sustained fire damage around a decade ago, but the load-bearing structure held firm thanks to the quality of its relatively recent construction. An extensive insurance dispute resulted in detailed court-commissioned surveys and laboratory analyses, providing comprehensive documentation of the building's condition. A full engineer's cost estimate has been drawn up for the renovation, covering a new roof, structural consolidation, replacement windows and floors, modern electrical and plumbing systems, heating and cooling, and solar panels. With the purchase and renovation combined, the total outlay is estimated at under €500,000. THE PEACE OF THE COUNTRYSIDE, WITH CONVENIENCE AND HISTORY ON HAND Despite its secluded hillside setting, the property is only a ten-minute drive from the centre of Cefalù, with its UNESCO-listed cathedral, golden sandy beach, and full range of shops and restaurants. The Madonie Natural Park is on the doorstep, and Palermo's international airport is about an hour away by car. Few locations in northern Sicily combine this kind of rural tranquillity with such easy access to the coast and its amenities. For buyers looking for space, views and value just outside one of the island's most desirable towns, Villa Caterina is as good a proposition as anything you'll find.

Casa Pinuccia - Gratteri With sea views and timeless charm, Casa Pinuccia would be perfect for a buyer who wants the thrill of restoring an old home in Sicily. THREE-STOREY HOME WITH BEDROOM,LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN Casa Pinuccia's layout is simple, with a 15m2 living room on the ground floor, a bedroom of the same size on the first floor and a kitchen and dining room on the second. Tucked away under the first staircase is a ground floor bathroom with a miniature tub and shower attachment. The living room opens straight onto the street through double doors which also let plenty of light into the cosy space. The first floor bedroom has the bonus of a sea-view balcony, and the dining room upstairs has the same. The room is only a little smaller than those below, despite the presence of the kitchen. We would actually love to see this floor opened up and turned into a single kitchen-diner. Doing this you could even put in a sofa and a couple of bookcases and allow yourselves to use the ground floor as a second bedroom. It would do justice to the sensational view from the balcony. A RENOVATION CHALLENGE WITH A CHARACTERFUL CORE There is no getting away from the fact that a lot of work is going to be needed, not least on the wooden ceilings which have suffered from water damage. Beyond this Casa Pinuccia will need new windows, electrical wiring and plumbing to bring it up to modern safety codes. Additionally the fascia needs to be refreshed, and the elderly air conditioners replaced – we would suggest with two-way heat pumps. On the plus side of the ledger, the staircase was redone in concrete in the 1980s, finished with some lovely Sicilian marble and remains in great condition. The bathroom is from a similar era but the simple decoration has aged well and everything still works efficiently. The roof is also holiding up well. You'll love the decorative floor tiles throughout the home, and the fixed wood oven built right into the kitchen wall is a must-keep. AMAZING HILLTOP LOCATION IN SICILY'S FAVOURITE NATURAL PARK The position of Casa Pinuccia is a huge selling point. Everything that surrounds Gratteri is beautiful green hillside, which stretches up to the towering peaks of the upper Madonie and down to the pristine Tyrrhenian Sea below. Although you could enjoy a different route around the fields, woodland and mountainsides of the region every day for a year, you'll also adore the fact that the nearest sandy beach is just 20 minutes away by car. The spectacular seafront of Norman Cefalu is only five minutes beyond that. And Palermo reachable in not much over an hour. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Matteo - Gratteri In the small village of Gratteri, seven kilometres inland and 650m above sea level in the heart of the Madonie Natural Park, Casa Matteo is a must-see for buyers interested in renovating an historic . MAGNIFICENT VIEWS OF THE SEA AND MOUNTAINS The steep terrain and the height of this terraced palazzo building combine to offer unobstructed sea views from the second and third floors. The former even has a balcony that offers you the chance to enjoy the fabulous coastal panorama in the open air. At the moment, the top floor kitchen only has a small window facing north towards the Tyrrhenian Sea, but we think that even a mid-budget renovation project would be able to create a terrace on this level that would give you a bird's eye view of an enormous swathe of northern Sicily. To the rear, Casa Matteo has a view of the surrounding village from the upper floors, which is as charming as the front is dramatic and memorable. FOUR STOREYS AND OVER 150M2 OF LIVING SPACE The home is divided into six rooms, which could be configured in a variety of ways. Most of these are over 15m2, and the largest space, a second floor pair of rooms connected through a broad archway, offers over 40m2, plus the sea-view balcony at the front. We imagine the finished home with two bedrooms on the lower levels, a beautiful living room-cum-diner on the second floor and an unforgettable kitchen with full-wall glazing opening onto a roof terrace at the top of the property. A RENOVATION CHALLENGE THAT OFFERS A RICH REWARD As you'll see from our virtual tour and photography, it is obviously going to be necessary to dedicate time and budget to the historic home. The exact budget will depend on your needs and tastes, as well as how much of the work you're in a position to take care of yourself. We estimate that the final investment will need to be in the region of €110,000 – really, a bargain for the chance to own a piece of Sicilian heritage that's been remodelled to your exact taste. Some features that we think it would be a shame not to incorporate into the final design include a staircase made from the rare and exceptionally durable Billiemi stone, two floors' worth of clay tiles and the antique bread oven which has been built into the kitchen. Take a tour and let your imagination start to work on this fascinating restoration project! FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Sea View Project - Collesano A 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 LAND The 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 ACCESS The 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 REQUIREMENTS All 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.
