Property Description

Pink and pretty, it is perfect for someone searching for a calm mountain retreat and self-sufficiency in crops.

This cottage sits on one hectare (2.5 acres) of land with olives and citrus and plenty of space for new agricultural adventures. It is located in a nature reserve, guaranteeing that there will be no new development in the area. It enjoys a beautiful, open panorama over mountains and green nature.

The cottage is around 70 sqm (753 sqft) and has a kitchen/living room with a wood stove for heating, two bedrooms, and a bathroom with a shower. The current owner will leave all furniture in the house, including a new dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and washing machine. For someone needing more space, building an indoor staircase up to the attic and creating another room (with a lower ceiling height) would be possible.

The property is well-suited for someone looking for an all-year-round property with a certain amount of self-sufficiency.

There is a large irrigation lake in place, even if the system needs to be finished. There is also a well on the property that could most likely be drilled deeper to get enough water to supply the house. Today, there is a free-standing water tank connected to the house that is manually filled up by a water truck when there is a need for more water.

Even though you are in a more secluded mountain nature, there is only a less than five-minute drive down to the small town of Sciara. Sciara is a friendly little agricultural town with all basic amenities in place. Here, a small grocery shop offers all basics, including eggs from local farmers, olive oil from the nearby oil mill, and fresh ricotta made by shepherds in the mountains above Sciara. The area is characterized by farming; growing artichokes is a big deal here. But also broccoli, fennel, beans, tomatoes, and other vegetables. It wouldn’t be a Sicilian town without a few bars offering great coffee and cornetti in the morning.

The airport in Palermo is a bit over an hour away, and the sandy beaches are reached within half an hour. The bigger town of Termini Imerese is around 20 minutes away.
