TWO-BEDROOM, SEA-VIEW HOUSE IN CEFALÙ'S GREEN HILLS

Surrounded by woodland, at the top of one of the lower peaks of the Madonie Natural Park but just twelve minutes' drive from Cefalù, Chalet Presti offers a sensational blend of seclusion and convenience.

With Cefalù one of Sicily's blue chip tourist markets, this is a very solid investment for an enticing price per square metre – the total covered area spans a huge 240m2. We see Chalet Presti as being ripe for a makeover with the addition of a pair of extra bedrooms, giving it a sleeping capacity of eight plus, and significant potential as a vacation rental if you don't plan to live there 365 days a year.


VAST STORAGE SPACE FOR CARS OR AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY

Built on two floors and a mezzanine, the house takes advantage of the hillside to offer beautiful views from every room.

The ground floor is currently a huge garage, or storage space, but there is tons of potential to put this to a more efficient use. Outside is a terrace which overlooks the green hillside rolling down to a wide stretch of coastline which is visible throughout.


BRIGHT AND SPACIOUS LIVING AREA

On the upper floor is the main living area of the house. Here you will find a pair of bedrooms and twin bathrooms, as well as a spacious family kitchen.

However, the majority of the space is taken up with a chalet-style, high-ceilinged open space living room, with a mezzanine gallery built on a slight overhang. This intelligent bit of design has created what is currently used as an additional living area and a dining space. Of course it could be changed in something more efficient, like 2 new bedrooms.


OAKS, CORKS AND PINES

Set in an ample wooded estate of 5500m2, Chalet Presti is a wonderful getaway in a prestigious district where many of the island's rich and famous spend their summers.
