Description
"THE TWINS & TORRE DI MEZZO" - PUNTA LICOSA, CASTELLABATE (SA)
A RARE COASTAL ESTATE JUST 50 METRES FROM THE SEA WITHIN THE PUNTA LICOSA MARINE PROTECTED AREA
AN UNREPEATABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR COLLECTORS OF BEAUTY AND AUTHENTICITY
In the heart of the Cilento Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lies a rare coastal estate composed of two historic stone dwellings just steps from the sea, complemented by a historic watchtower set directly above the shoreline within the Punta Licosa Marine Protected Area.
The two buildings, immersed in a private and untouched Mediterranean landscape, represent the true living heart of the estate - offering an intimate and authentic connection with nature and the sea in one of the most protected and unspoiled coastal environments in Italy.
Alongside them, the presence of the watchtower - originally developed over two levels and extending to approximately 127 sqm - adds a powerful historical identity and a distinctive architectural landmark to the property, as part of the ancient coastal defence system of Southern Italy.
This is not simply a property, but a fragment of untouched Mediterranean heritage - where architecture, landscape and history coexist in perfect harmony.
THE ESTATE
The property comprises:
- Two historic stone buildings, known as "The Twins", with a total internal area of approximately 200 sqm, arranged over two levels
- Traditional rural features, including an outdoor oven and a historic partially sunken stone water basin, measuring approximately 5.80 x 4.60 metres with a depth of 1.20 metres
- A pristine natural setting of exceptional integrity, immersed in Mediterranean woodland and free from visual intrusion
Constructed in local stone and reflecting the authentic character of Cilento's rural architecture, the buildings offer a rare opportunity for a sensitive conservation-led restoration, preserving their identity while adapting them to contemporary living.
TORRE DI MEZZO - A RARE COASTAL LANDMARK
Positioned directly above the sea, the ruins of Torre di Mezzo represent an extraordinary and highly distinctive element of the estate.
- Historic Spanish viceroyal coastal watchtower
- Originally arranged over two levels
- Approx. 127 sqm footprint
- Dominant position overlooking the coastline
A rare surviving testimony of the ancient coastal defence system, the tower offers exceptional potential to be enhanced as a unique panoramic feature or retreat, in full respect of its historical identity and subject to the necessary planning and heritage approvals.
RESTORATION POTENTIAL
A conservation-led architectural approach offers the opportunity to transform the estate into a private coastal retreat of exceptional character, while preserving its historical identity and perfect integration within the surrounding landscape.
Within this framework, the property lends itself to refined architectural interpretations, including:
- The creation of intimate outdoor living spaces seamlessly integrated into the natural landscape
- The reinterpretation of the existing partially sunken stone water basin as a discreet water feature or natural pool, enhancing the sensory experience of the property, subject to planning approvals
- The enhancement of the watchtower as a panoramic space overlooking the sea, preserving its architectural integrity
The result would be a residence of rare authenticity - where architecture, landscape and history coexist in perfect harmony.
A LOCATION BEYOND COMPARISON
- Just 50 metres from the sea, with access to secluded coves and extraordinary marine waters
- The watchtower enjoys a dominant position directly above the coastline
- Surrounded by untouched Mediterranean vegetation
- No visible urban development
- Southwest-facing orientation with breathtaking sunsets over the Tyrrhenian Sea
ACCESSIBILITY & PRIVACY
- Approximately 1h30 from Naples International Airport
- Around 1 hour from Salerno Airport
- 30 minutes from the Port of Agropoli
- Easy access to the Amalfi Coast and Capri
Despite its accessibility, the estate guarantees complete privacy and seclusion, making it ideal for an international clientele seeking a refined retreat immersed in nature.

- A unique balance between lifestyle, architecture and heritage
