2 bedrooms villa, 75 m²

Gratteri, Palermo (province)

Just outside the Madonie village of Gratteri, Casa Vanessa is a two-bedroom country house with its own olive grove. Its panoramic terrace looks out over green hills and mountain peaks.

Two Bedrooms, Kitchen-Living Room and a 25m2 Outbuilding
The main house has a living room with kitchen of about 20m2, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The roofs are finished, and the aluminium double-glazed windows have shutters and built-in mosquito screens. Inside, the walls, floors and some of the systems are still to be completed.

The separate outbuilding is further along, with plastered walls, laid floors and its systems installed. The owners have planned a roof linking the two buildings, which would give you a sheltered outdoor space between them.

Between Olive Terraces and the Madonie Peaks
The terraced land below the house holds about thirty olive trees, which produced roughly 70kg of oil last year. Figs, prickly pears, pears, peaches, plums and cherries grow here too, and the land extends up the hillside beyond the current fence.

A quiet, level lane leads into Gratteri, where shops, bars and a pharmacy are open all year. Cefalù and the beach at Gorgo Lungo are about half an hour away. Palermo airport is around 90 minutes away and the ski slopes of Piano Battaglia lie just to the south.

Put the Finishing Touches in Your Own Style
Finishing a house is a challenge, but it is also the most creative way to own one, and here the heavy lifting is already done. You choose the floors, tiles and colours, and the concrete terrace under a large walnut tree could be paved as an outdoor dining room for family or holiday guests. All the work together is estimated at around €60,000.

That means you could buy and finish Casa Vanessa for under €200,000, giving you a mid-priced holiday home with estimated letting income of around €20,000 a year. It would also make an affordable permanent home in beautiful countryside.
