Description

Ref. Casale Torrazza - Valderice - A historic ruin on almost 1.2 hectares of land, Casale Torrazza is found in the hills of Trapani province, with views towards Mount Erice and the surrounding countryside.
A Two-Storey Ruin, Ready to Restore
The ruins occupy the highest point of the plot across two storeys, with much of the perimeter walling still standing, in places close to four metres high, hinting at how large and airy the original rooms once were. Two sections of the building are registered for habitable use, with a combined floor area of around 420 square metres between them.
One of the two current owners is an architect and has already lodged the initial application with Sicily's heritage authority, which should save a buyer some of the usual wait before building work can start. A private well on the land supplies water independently of the mains, and the pending application already includes provision for a swimming pool.
In the Hills of Trapani Province
The property looks out over vineyards, olive groves and old bagli scattered through the hills of Trapani province, with the hilltop town of Erice above and the city of Trapani sixteen kilometres away. San Vito lo Capo's beach is around twenty kilometres and half an hour by car, and Trapani's airport is a similar distance, with Palermo's around ninety minutes further along the coast.
A Restoration Ready to Begin
Depending on your design choices and the materials you want to use, restoring a property like this typically costs somewhere between €1,500 and €3,000 per square metre. Of course, this is on top of the purchase price, but our project management service can offer local know-how and negotiation skills to guarantee the best possible return for your money. We would take care of the whole process from planning permission to completion, working alongside the architect who has already begun the paperwork here.
Whether you picture the final result as a single expansive home or a handful of holiday apartments, this would make a spectacular and potentially cost-effective entry into the Sicilian property market

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.
