Summary

This beautiful estate, dating back to the 17th century, was originally an oil mill. The original machinery is still preserved as decoration in the large dining hall.

Today, it is run as an ‘agriturismo’ – a farming hotel—offering people the tranquility and countryside atmosphere of this remote but still comfortable, accessible hideout.

The scenery is beautiful, with an open agricultural landscape, the Mediterranean Sea, and the impressive Le Madonie mountains to rest your eyes on. Apart from the cowbells and bleating sheep, the silence is overwhelming.

The price includes 10 hectares of arable and pasture land. The land is also well suited for olives and fruit. A nearby structure suitable for cheese production can be bought, keeping goats on this land to make “caprino,” goat cheese. Apart from the land included, around 90 additional and adjacent hectares of land are possible to buy from the same seller. The possibilities are immense.

The Property

The estate is constructed as a ‘Baglio’—the central corp, two wings, and an internal courtyard. It has a reception, a large dining hall, a restaurant kitchen, and six apartments/guest rooms. Besides, an old stone structure is on the side, with a permit for making two additional apartments. A building permit for a 12×6 m pool is included. Also, there is a permit to convert another 40 sqm stone building to a bakery/pizzeria with an antique wood-fired pizza oven.

Today, the apartments do not have kitchens, but a small kitchen can be added to each at a very reasonable cost.

The Location

The road to the property is asphalted and brand new, which is very advantageous and rare for a secluded property. The nearest towns are Collesano at 7 kilometers (10 minutes) and Campofelice di Roccella at 12 kilometers (15 minutes). In Campofelice, you also find vast, sandy beaches. The famous town of Cefalu is some 25 minutes drive away. There is also a project ongoing to construct a new road down, ending by the autostrada (7 km away), which would mean that you would significantly reduce the time to get to major cities/airports of Sicily.
