Sicily, Palermo, Bagheria, Italy

Ref. Villetta Ippocampo Mongerbino - A rare opportunity to create a bespoke home in one of northern Sicily’s most picturesque coastal settings, with panoramic sea views, 2,379 m² of land and two registered structures providing the basis for reconstruction.

Panoramic Views over Capo Zafferano

Set on the slopes of Monte Catalfano, Villetta Ippocampo enjoys a sweeping 180° view across the Mediterranean towards Capo Zafferano. The land rises gently across a series of terraces planted with olive, lemon and fig trees, prickly pears and other Mediterranean vegetation. Both registered structures are situated in elevated positions within the plot and benefit from the coastal setting.
Despite its natural surroundings, the property is well connected. Aspra is around eight minutes’ drive away, Bagheria approximately fifteen minutes and Palermo around thirty-three. Spiaggia dei Francesi can be reached in about two minutes by car or seventeen minutes on foot.

Two Listed Buildings with Reconstruction Potential

The property comprises two existing registered buildings with a combined area of approximately 75m². The larger building measures around 55m² and includes an existing terrace with a simple pergola structure, whilst the second measures approximately 20m² and is situated higher up the hillside.
Both require substantial reconstruction, but their registered status provides the basis for a new project of up to 75m² of covered space, subject to the necessary technical and planning approvals.

A Project to Create from the Ground Up

The site offers the opportunity to create a completely personalised home centred around its strongest features: the panoramic sea views, terraced landscape and outdoor setting. Terraces and pergolas may also form part of the finished property, whilst the exact layout will depend on the approved architectural plans.
With vehicle access already in place and able to assist with project and works management, Villetta Ippocampo is an excellent option for anyone looking to create a distinctive permanent residence or holiday home near Palermo.
