4 bedrooms detached house, 300 m²

Castellana Sicula, Palermo (province)

A three-bedroom property on three floors, the rural Casa Aldo is roomy, in good overall shape and fantastic value for money.


THE FEELING OF BEING COMPLETELY IMMERSED IN NATURE
Built a few hundred metres outside the small village of Castellana Sicula, Casa Aldo is close enough that you can choose to walk into town, but the surrounding thicket of pine and eucalyptus trees makes you feel half lost in nature. The views from the second floor windows and the marvellous open terrace outside the first floor living room are amazing, with a vantage point over the tops of those trees to the rooftops of Castellana.

However, at ground level you feel surrounded by Mediterranean woodland, the scent of the trees and the gentle chorus of cicadas acting as a kind of sensory firewall from the cares of the modern world. This is a spot in which you can lose yourself in your thoughts, your work or the company of your family and friends.


STURDILY BUILT AND SPACIOUS
Casa Aldo is in fact half of what used to be a giant farmhouse, a testament to the region's once-dominant agricultural sector. Although it has now been turned into a twin pair of semi-detached homes, you'll still find more than enough space for even a large family to holiday in the summer, or in which to host guests all year round.

The ground floor has a trio or large rooms with vaulted ceilings, once the stables of the villa and now a cool reception space that will make a great first impression. There is also a bedroom and a bathroom. The first floor follows a similar plan, with a landing that flows into a living room and then a dining room. There is also a kitchen, another bedroom and another bathroom. The top floor has two large bedrooms and a bathroom.


INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL TO MODERNISE AND EVEN EXPAND
The property is in good overall condition, but some investment will be needed to repair a small damp issue. The infiltration can be eliminated by cutting back some large pine trees whose needles have clogged the gutters, but you will have to make good some damage.

Aside from this, you might want to spend some money modernising the bathrooms and kitchen, but there is no urgent need to begin any renovation work. We think it would make a sensational summer base for the entire family, and there is even the possibility of buying the adjoining home and some of the surrounding land.
