4 bedrooms detached house, 195 m²

Cefalù, Palermo (province)

A large property on a beautiful 11,400m² estate, Casa Carbonara offers a fabulous sea-view panorama from its perch above the seaside gem of Cefalù.


SLEEPS EIGHT, WITH PLENTY OF SPACE TO SHARE

Inside, the two-storey villa comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room and a spacious family kitchen. With minimal space lost to hallways it makes the most of its 195m² of interior, although a reconfiguration would make the compact bathrooms more comfortable.

There is renovation work to be done on the interiors, but the views from the trio of sea-view bedrooms up the smartly marbled flight of stairs speak to a promise well worth the unlocking. The house has been freshly painted inside and is well presented, with a recently installed water filtration system providing pure tap water from the estate’s own wells.


OLIVE GROVES, FRUIT TREES AND DARK SKIES

The three-acre triangular plot is planted with mature, fruit-bearing trees in a range of Mediterranean varieties. A new perimeter fence fully encloses the land, and a gravel access road serves the property. The gardens and terrace surrounding the house, complete with fixed barbecue, will host a wonderful array of sunny afternoons and starlit dinners.

Just 3km inland and 600m above sea level, Casa Carbonara is in the foothills of the Madonie National Park, with the famous beach town of Cefalù a short drive below. The nearby village of Isnello is home to an international astronomical observatory that takes advantage of some of the darkest skies in southern Europe.


A SOUND INVESTMENT IN ONE OF SICILY'S STRONGEST MARKETS

A renovation budget of around €100,000 would cover new windows, updated bathrooms, a heating and cooling system, new electrics and photovoltaic power. More ambitious work, including opening up the ground floor and adding a swimming pool, would take the budget higher but the result would be a property of real distinction in one of the island’s most resilient tourist markets.

The total investment, including purchase and renovation, would still represent strong value for a four-bedroom sea-view villa with three acres of land in the Cefalù municipality. You can read a candid breakdown of what is needed by following the link below.
