Description

Ref. 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.

About Property in Sicily, Cefalu

PROPERTY IN SICILY is an international Real Estate Agency with family-run values.

Based in Palermo in Sicily, we work exclusively in this region and with international buyers. We speak six languages – including English, obviously – but our roots are firmly in our community here.

We have also been in your shoes. Half of our team arrived in Sicily as ex-pats, and we learnt through experience that when you buy a property overseas you need complete trust in the people you're dealing with. It's important not to have middle-men, to speak to someone who's seen the property you're buying with their own eyes. Every property in our portfolio has been selected by us, based on decades of industry experience and learning the needs of overseas buyers.

We are accredited members of the FIAIP (the Italian Federation of Estate Agents) and registered realtors at the Italian Chamber of Commerce. This makes us privileged to be able to represent both you and the local vendors. Doing so in a way that is impartial and honest is more than an aim for us – it's a founding principle, the reason we got into this business. We are also members of the ADDIOPIZZO anti-mafia organisation.

We are accredited by UK-based AIPP (Association of International Property Professionals) and by US-based NAR (National Association of Realtors).

Our pre-sale services include everything from property scouting and reports to representing clients who need a trusted local representative when dealing with other agencies. After you have completed we will be delighted to help you manage building projects and renovations, the logistics of moving to Sicily, running holiday lettings... even learning the language!

Property in Sicily is big enough to take on any project, but small enough to care. We can't wait to help make your Sicilian dream a reality.
