Furnari, Messina, Sicily, Italy

Perched in a scenic hillside setting, this recently renovated property offers stunning views of lush greenery, the sea, and Mount Etna. It's the perfect home for those who want to immerse themselves in nature without giving up the convenience of nearby amenities and easy access to the coast-just a 10-minute drive away.
The property is accessed via an electric gate that opens onto a private courtyard, which includes parking spaces, an electric vehicle charging station, and a beautifully maintained garden. A technical room with an outdoor bathroom also serves this area.
The home is entered through a panoramic covered veranda that leads into a stylish kitchen with a central island. On the same level, there's a practical pantry and a spacious bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and elegant stone finishes.
A spiral staircase connects to the upper floor, which offers two generously sized bedrooms-ideal for creating personalized spaces-and a second bathroom. An external staircase also provides direct access between the two floors.
The property is further enhanced by a panoramic rooftop pavilion with a technical room, accessible via an iron service staircase.
This home stands out for its strong commitment to energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. It features thermal insulation cladding and a state-of-the-art heat pump system that provides heating, cooling, and dehumidification throughout the house. Air is evenly distributed via discreet vents in each room, ensuring year-round comfort.
To support the system, a 6 kWh photovoltaic array with a 10 kWh storage battery has been installed, significantly reducing energy consumption and making the home virtually energy self-sufficient. Additionally, two solar thermal panels supply domestic hot water.
A forward-thinking investment that combines economic savings with environmental responsibility.
