For Sale €340,000 - Villas
A substantial four-level detached property set on the ridge of a hill near Ciminna, offering panoramic views over the town of Ciminna on one side and the valleys of Villafrati and Bolognetta on the other.
The property is located on SP33, within a development of independent houses along the road connecting the Palermo–Agrigento expressway with Ciminna. It is approximately 2.5 km from Ciminna, 2.7 km from Baucina, 13 km from Bolognetta, 30 km from Ficarazzi beach and 31 km from Palermo.
Ciminna and Baucina provide a wide range of everyday services, including supermarkets, banks, post offices, pharmacies, schools, bakeries, butchers, restaurants, bars, hardware stores, mechanics and petrol stations.
The house is arranged over three above-ground floors and a basement, all connected by an internal private staircase finished in green Apennine marble. The basement and ground floor are currently habitable, while the first and second floors are unfinished internally, without partition walls, allowing them to be configured to suit the needs of the new owner.
The basement comprises a large living area with kitchen and pizza oven, bedroom, bathroom with shower, small study/room with single bed, storage room, heating/utility room and a large garage with motorised door. Both the living area and garage overlook the covered veranda and adjoining driveway/parking area.
The ground floor comprises six rooms and two bathrooms: a living room opening onto an approximately 30 m² covered terrace, a large kitchen with adjoining living area and access to a covered terrace, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a storage room. One of the bedrooms also opens onto the covered terrace.
The unfinished first and second floors offer considerable flexibility for creating additional bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas, offices, studios or other accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions.
The property occupies sloping land with vehicular access from the upper section of SP33. The approximately 200 m² area facing the road is currently used as a fruit orchard and could potentially be converted into additional parking, subject to approval.
A concrete access road runs alongside the house to a lower driveway and parking area of approximately 180 m². The property also includes approximately 500 m² of garden planted with fruit trees, olive trees and grapevines, with access from the lower driveway.
The property is connected to the municipal electricity grid and has a 5 kW grid-connected photovoltaic system installed on the roof of the second floor. Water is supplied via a 10 m³ storage tank, periodically replenished by water tanker. A rainwater collection system provides an additional water source, with storage in a 33 m³ tank.
The ground floor and basement have split air-conditioning systems. Heating is provided by two separate systems: a natural-gas system with its own boiler and a second boiler powered by olive pits and pomace. There are two gas supplies, one connected to the public network and one connected to a privately owned gas tank.
With its panoramic position, generous garden and parking areas, existing habitable accommodation and two unfinished floors offering scope for customisation, this property provides an excellent opportunity to create a substantial family home, multi-generational residence, holiday property or potential investment in the Sicilian countryside, subject to the relevant planning and licensing requirements.
