Flexible Space with Sturdy Construction Casa Fustaneo offers a living room, kitchen-diner, bedroom and open mezzanine loft.

BEAUTIFUL, SPACIOUS THREE-BEDROOM PROPERTY WITH BEAUTIFUL VIEWS IN THE HEART OF COVETED COLLESANO Casa alla Basilica, a charming traditional property, awaits in the heart of coveted Collesano in northern Sicily. This move-in ready gem offers ample space, sunrise views over Basilica Di San Pietro, and the potential for a magnificent rooftop terrace. PRIME LOCATION IN SICILY’S HIDDEN GEM: COLLESANO Collesano stands out as a prime destination for property investment in Sicily, and Casa alla Basilica enjoys a perfect spot within this flourishing town. Combining the tranquillity of a small village with the dynamism and convenience of urban living, Collesano offers a harmonious blend of both. As well as having a traditionally Sicilian feel, it boasts a growing international community and vibrant social landscape as many expats have, unsurprisingly, already chosen to make Collesano their home in Sicily. New arrivals need not worry about lan...
Appartamento Agnello - Collesano Situated in the very centre of Collesano, Appartamento Agnello is in fact two apartments of differing sizes, with the option to combine them in a single very large house, or to renovate the smaller one for resale, rental or use as a guest apartment. On two floors, the historic structure is blessed with wonderful bones, including exposed masonry, beautiful balconies and some wonderful interior design touches, especially in the upper apartment. Completed by a large storeroom which could be converted into a garage or small commercial premises, this property is a fantastic stimulus for the imagination, a starting point from which to get really creative. AN ELEGANT MAIN APARTMENT The upper apartment is on the first floor of a three storey building, with a mezzanine section up a secondary half-flight of stairs. With 90m2 of liveable space it is spacious and well designed. In its current use it is actually ...
Bauland Plot Oliveto - Collesano Collesano This plot is 22,000 m² in size, slightly hilly and faces north - the sea - and is perhaps 2 km from Campofelice as the crow flies. The main feature of this property is the beautifully tended olive trees, which number around 450 and are very productive. A power line runs past the property, so that only a well needs to be drilled, as there is no water connection. Alternatively, a pipe could be laid from the nearest water pipe across the neighbors' plots. The access road is currently somewhat precarious, as the shortest connection to the north has become difficult to pass due to a storm. Before selling, we need to clarify with the neighbors whether these 50 m could perhaps be repaired through a joint investment. This would only cost a few 100 € each, the price asked by the owners is in the region of around 100,000 €, which is in this area. If you build your dream house on this plot, you can rea...
Top Plot - Collesano BUILD YOUR OWN VILLA IN SICILY, WITH SEA VIEWS AND HUGE HILLSIDE ESTATE A unique parcel of land with the right to build a hilltop villa with the best views for miles around, Top Plot Collesano is a top investment in more senses than one. In the municipality of Collesano, between the peaks of the Madonie Natural Park and the clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea on Sicily's north coast, the estate is around 2.5 acres in size and offers a true panorama of mountains and sea. A BIRD'S EYE VIEW IN ALL DIRECTIONS The southern side of the plot slopes gently inland, with the potential to plant vines, olive trees or a small orchard where they can be hit by that bright Sicilian sun all day long. The northern side, however, is the real jewel. With a view unobstructed by any other peaks, it offers a wide slice of blue heaven, as the sea meets the sky on the horizon. The sunsets in this area need to be seen to be believed, s...
Plot Dispenza – Sea-view Buildable Land in Sicily's Madonie Natural Park, with Consent to Build Multiple Homes or a Holiday Village A beautiful stretch of sea-view land on the hillsides of northern Sicily, Plot Dispenza offers nearly two hectares of meadow and olive trees, bursting with potential. The plot is beautiful and the location scenic, but the real key asset here is the fact that it has been classed as Zone C 'buildable' land. In contrast to most land which becomes available to the international market, this allows for a far larger-scale development project. Ready to develop, with permission to build On 'Zone C' land it is permitted to build 0.1m3 of habitable structure for every m2 of ground space. In the case of Plot Dispenza that translates to 600m2 of housing or accommodation. This is enough to build a medium-sized holiday village or glamping resort for tourists, a residential complex suitable for timeshare or second ho...

Palazzo Peri - Collesano A vast complex covering 800m2, right in the heart of a historic Sicilian town, Palazzo Peri stands at the very heart of Collesano in the Madonie Natural Park. An eighteenth century building with wonderful history, it would be a wonderfully inspiring project to take on. With over twenty rooms, on three storeys, and an entire deconsecrated church included in the sale, we're not overselling this when we describe it as one of the most remarkable real estate opportunities to have passed across our desk since we first entered the industry A STATELY HOME WITH A BAROQUE FACADE The living space is huge, with sixteen rooms plus kitchens and bathrooms. Almost all of these are large enough to become a spacious double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Two at the front of the property have ornately decorated balconies, and those on the top floor have fabulous views over the rooftops of Collesano to the green hills of the...
